Sleek and sexy the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 will not leave you scratching around looking for ways to pay the rent, it only cost me £131 and as soon as I pulled it from its box I knew I had stumbled on an absolute gem of a camera. The picture above does actually do the camera a lot of justice if you look closely. It is onbviously silver, but it has more of a stainless steel finish and coupled witht he light weight and relatively small dimensions it looks every inch the stylish and top class product it is.

Like most cameras, the cyber-shot has an screen rather thana treditional viewfinder. I think this feature as it means I can take pictures from greater heights or different angles without having to bend or stretch. Pictures are taken using 7.2 mega pixels and this results in unrivalled quality with perfect images every time. Even in the darkest of settings the flash light sthe scene up like a christmas tree.

Not only is the cyber-shot a digital camera for taking stills, it also captures and can record MPEG movies, which aren't exactly camcorder quality, but good all the same and a handy little feature when one of your friends is messing about and you really need to film it to blackmail them with later!

The only downer with the cmaera was the poor 56MB internal memory. Enough memory to photograph a gnats todger before its out of space. Expanded memory is essential but can be a bit on the pricey side from experience.

Look no further than the cyber-shot, it is fantastic.

You don’t give the readers and prospective buyers any information about how you set this up, what software it uses, how good/bad the software is and perhaps how you think the design is, pretty, ugly, efficient that sort of thing. happy to re-read if you do add more information in the future.
