The first thing that you will notice when looking at this camera is it's very generous 2.5" LCD display, which is further enhanced by the camera's overall diminuitive size. When switching the camera on, you should be impressed by the startup time. I have owned 2 Kodak cameras, an Olympus, a Canon and another sony, but none of them come close to the start up time on this. You press the power button and you are ready to begin shooting straight away.
By default the camera turns on the LCD screen to use as a viewfinder, however you should note that if you wish to save battery or work in low light conditions, this camera also has an optical viewfinder (a feature lacking on many lower-end models).
The camera has multiple shooting modes, for fully automatic, manual, low light etc... I can't comment on these as I only use automatic.
The camera is also able to take video with sound at a maximum resolution of 640x480 with a near perfect framerate, so delivers good quality video.
The camera comes with USB connectivity, uses sony's own memorystick format and runs on AA batteries. A nice touch was that the camera is supplied with a pair of AA batteries and a charger for them. Normally an added extra with most manufacturers. Plus if you run out of charge when you are away you can just pop in some regular disposeable AA's.
The quality of the shots is great, I can produce A3 prints which still look stunning, with perfect clarity.
The only problem with this camera is the pricetag, however if you can afford it then I think it offers great value for money.
Advantages: Practical, easy to use, plenty of different modes Disadvantages: Delay between button-press and shutter operation
...and when it's in the Sony proprietary hardshell case, it fits comfortably into a large jacket pocket.
My only gripe, as with all digital cameras, is the irritating delay between hitting the button and the shutter actually clicking. This is something which has always bugged me about digital cameras, and when you're trying to take photographs of moving subjects it's quite difficult to predict exactly when to hit the button. ...

Advantages: packed with features, easy to use and near proffesional results for a reasonable price. Disadvantages: flash not very bright in dark areas.
...small and is sold with Sony stamina rechargeable batteries and charger, the rechargeable batteries are very impressive and last a very long time. It comes with all leads and software to connect to the pc. The software could be a little better, the viewing software is very limited as is the editing software, but its a minor problem from a very good camera.
With its impressive 2.5" lcd screen this camera in my opinion is a must for any person wishing ...

...Cradle & cables
32 Mb Sony memory stick duo
CD-ROM (software and firmware update)
A/V connecting cable for viewing on a TV

For the Sony W1:
Main Advantages: No need to buy special battery, so during vacations, all you need to bring is camera and you can buy AA batteries in any supermarket. On my trip to China, i was realy glad not to take another adapter along, however, you have to make sure you buy good batteries in the supermarket ... ...got ripped of or something, but the batteries only lasted around 20 minutes and stopped working. Very large screens, zoomable. It feels much better using taking pictures through this large LCD screen, it has a high refresh rate and shows a lot of detail. I’ve found a useful trip of taking pictures of maps during trips and then zooming in, this way I will never get lost!
Easy to use and with professional features: It has a standard automatic setting ...

Advantages: Packed with features, pick up and shoot, easy to use Disadvantages: A little bulky
I upgraded to this camera from a cheap and cheerful 1.3mp that I've had for a long time.
What convinced me to choose his one. -Sony - a name to trust
- 5mp - For what I want to use it for, this is ample. Any more, and it would eat up memory space
- Screen - One of the largest screens
Many of the other features are similar to other cameras
The only (small) letdown for this camera, is that its a little bulky compared to others - the ixus for example.
... ...video feature was surpisingly good quality. I cut it into DV in a holiday video and there was very little difference.
There are lots of light situations to choose form. A look at the 'specs' on the website will give photo enthusiasts more of an idea. As a 'family and holiday' photographer i think its great.
With a quick flick of the instruction book you're up and running. If you've owned a digital camera before, you probably won't need to look ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1"
Advantages: Durable, not flimsy, great outdoor shots in sunlight Disadvantages: Night and candlelight shots could use improvement
The SONYCYBER-SHOTDSC-W5 is a 5.1 megapixel digital camera that has most of the standard SONY CYBERSHOT features, which I do not want to elaborate here because that can be read in the specs and by anyone. I want to emphasize in my review that this camera will last you a good while, and that you will most probably get a good return on your investment. Although this camera - by today's ever-shrinking digital camera size standards - falls short due to its bulkiness and boxy exterior, its performance and durability allows all shortcomings to be forgiven. I have had this camera for almost 4 years now, and it has survived countless traumatic drops, rolls, falls, and the constant curious prodding, poking, and even throwing at the hands of my two toddlers. Everytime I picked up the camera and checked to make sure everything was working, it did ...
Advantages: Sleek design with easy controls to allow good shots wherever you are! Disadvantages: Not the best Sony on the market, so dont expect the perfect shot everytime.
The SonyCyber-shotDSC-W130 with 4x optical zoome and 8.1 megapixels is a fantastic camera. Whether you want to take a quick snap, a long video or that nice family photo, this camera adapts to all types of locations. It is a very sturdy and durable camera that is light and can fit in a pocket easily.
The functions and layout of the camera are extremely easy to use and it is a very aesthetically pleasing camera! Although this may not be the best Sony camera on the market, at a reasonable price, this camera is one of the best in its price range and can provide all users with an enjoyable camera experience.
Overall a superb little camera that does the perfect job for the price that it is and if you were to buy it, you wouldn't be disappointed! ...
Advantages: Very good and advance features Disadvantages: none
The SonyCyber-shotDSC-W170 has 10.1-megapixel sensor coupled with Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom and a big 2.7" LCD display. The SonyW170 also has an optical viewfinder useful when the LCD is difficult to see, or when trying to conserve power.
It has Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by camera shake at slow shutter speeds. Other features include ISO 3200 sensitivity, a Memory Stick Duo/PRO Duo card slot, plus 15MB of built in memory.
It has Sony's latest face detection technology, which can distinguish between the faces of children and adults. "Child priority" and "Adult priority" modes are available and the camera will detect up to eight faces in a frame and optimize focus, exposure, white balance and flash.
Its most remarkable feature is Sony's new intelligent scene recognition (i ...

Manufacturer's product description
High-end optics combine with everyday ease of use in the DSC-W1 Cyber-shot digital camera. The DSC-W1 features a 1/1.8" Super HAD CCD and a 3X optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, both come together to give you stunningly detailed 5.1 Megapixel (2592 x 1944 resolution) images. Other features include manual exposure control, 5 area multi-point auto focus and MPEG Movie VX video mode. Even though it is packed with features, the DSC-W1 was designed to be incredibly easy to use. The huge 2.5-inch LCD monitor, live histogram display, 6 scene modes, and PictBridge compatibility all combine to make taking a picture and making a print simpler than ever before.
Well built, easy and fun to use.
