Sony Cyber-Shot W90

Advantages: Light Weight, Face Detection, HD Rich Colours, Fast and Good Quality.
Disadvantages: Lack of Manual Mode

...the "I must have the latest technology, give me 12.1 megapixels I am greedy", I decided to read some W200 reviews before purchasing. Having read reviews of the W200 and the W90, I got the impression that despite having 12.1 megapixels, the W200 hardly differs from the W90. Unless you plan on enlarging your images to wall sized proportions you shouldnt notice a difference.... However.... in my haste I did not notice the lack of 'M' (manual) mode on the W90 which the W200 does have, and this on my part would have been useful. But not for everyone! All in all this little camera is fantastic. I am tremendously pleased with it, and if you search around you can get it for under £200! I hope this is of some help!...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90

Point and shoot the Sony way!

Advantages: Great features, good image quality and all at a great price.
Disadvantages: Only a couple (see review)!

...The last camera review I wrote was on the fantastic Sony A700 DSLR and at the time I mentioned that Sony are still very new in the DSLR market, they are however very well established in the point and shoot market and the camera I am reviewing today (the Cyber-shot DSC-W220) is the latest in their fabulous Cyber-shot W range. It comes in the usual range of colours (silver, black, blue and red, with a pink version no doubt on the way soon). It was only released in March so it is still relatively new on the market but the price has come down fairly quickly, having been released at over £200 you can now pick one up for around the £140 mark. This is the first budget range Cyber-shot camera to feature many of the settings that were previously only found in Sony`s premium range. The premium features that can be found in this camera...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100

Advantages: Small, well-built, solid, excellent pictures
Disadvantages: none identified

...PC Sony recommends that the included "Cyber-shot Viewer" Software supplied be installed onto your PC. This will enable you to view pictures on the camera and provided some limited editing feature. I didn't bother. I was quite happy to connect it to my PC using the included USB lead and let Windows do all the work. If you are, like me, running Windows XP the system immediately picks up the connection of a new device, recognises it as a Sony W100 and then prompts what you want to do with it, view files, copy files etc. As I am quite comfortable using Windows Explorer, I viewed the files. I chose to do it this way for one simple reason. I do not usually print my photographs out. I have done, but this has been the exception rather than the rule. I am used to how my monitor displays pictures and am more likely to pick up any problems by...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100

Advantages: Clear ;LCD screen, lightweight, easy to use instructions.

Sony Cyber shot W120

Advantages: Trendy, Small,Within budget
Disadvantages: Lack features e.g Digital red eye removal

...This Sony Cyber shot has a 7 megapixel that I personally view as being on the border of budget and fashion.Even though it does not contain all the qualities of T and W series, it is definitly better than the S-series.With its small size, i can easily put it in my pocket together with the battery and the memory card.What i love with this cyber shot is the 9-point autofocus system that helps the camera lock onto subjects, and face detection can automatically adjust focus and exposure to suit the faces in your picture.It also have an adult and children detection mode which can differentiate between them in group. However i have to admit that it does lack the radial blur, fish-eye lens, and unsharp masking.Above all i would love if it did contain digital red eye removal. I personally own this product but after a few research i found...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170

Advantages: yes
Disadvantages: no

...really impressed me is the ISO high sensitivity setting. On my old camera any images I took in the twilight hours were extremelly dark and were unsalvagable, but with the sony cybershot I no longer have this problem! The ISO setting uses any light it can detect to enhance the resultant image. Excellant for those evening shots of the scenary on holiday to make all your friends jealous! The user menus on this camera are really easy to use and even offer a slideshow of the images on the memory to music!! A rechargable battery comes as standard with this camera and can be recharged via the charger supplied which gives youplenty of charge to go snapping all day long! Overall I am really impressed with this camera it has given me some fantastic pictures. It does take a short while to familiarise yourself with the different setting and also there is...

SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-W5 A DURABLE LITTLE TANK OF A CAMERA

Advantages: Durable, not flimsy, great outdoor shots in sunlight
Disadvantages: Night and candlelight shots could use improvement

...The SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-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...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 Great Camera

Advantages: Great Picture Quality
Disadvantages: Internal Memory

...The great Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130, superb digital camera with 8 megapixel camera brilliant picture quality, it retails around £190, which is good for what you get, lets start with the design; Rounded corners and an attractive brushed metal front plate .It uses small circular buttons for menu control, the buttons are laid out comfortably around the camera's direction pad and feel much more accessible to large-thumbed users. The shape is perfect for storage purposes and its stylish black design helps it stand out from the rest. From its predecessor they have improved the length of the length, which helps for zoom length over long distances. Features The W130 has 8-megapixel resolution, 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD, and optical viewfinder. It also includes face detection function with Smile Shutter, a handy mode that lets the camera...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130

***Paparazzi cyber-shooting with Sony***

Advantages: times
Disadvantages: the battery and memory stick are quite expensive and no panoramic shot

...major differences in the functionality between these two models (W70 and W55), except for the price which I chose the cheaper one in Curry's at a promotional offer of £149.99, excluding the memory card and carrying case. Having used this unit for almost two years now, it really served its purpose - documenting my passion in photography as well as my interest in filming. This is the reason why I want to share my experience on its functionality that is comparable to other brands available in the market today. The highlights of my review mainly focus on the things beyond the basic specifications of the unit. I discovered them by accidental or experimental while exploring its built-in buttons and menus which are easy to navigate. In other words, these are the "x-factors" of the unit that really stands out from the rest of the cyber-shot...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55

Capture the perfct shot, with Sony Cyber-shot.

Advantages: Great zoom, and clear pictures.
Disadvantages: Quite highly priced, and not likely to be returned to you if you loose it.

...The Sony Cyber shot camera is situated at the higher end of the compact cameras market with prices ranging from £120 upwards. It may be fairly expensive, but it is well worth it. I bought this camera for my birthday one year, and it lasted me at least two years, until I recently lost it. I had one problem with it during those two years, when the lens failed to open, but I sent it to Sony and they were happy to repair it. Since then it was problem free. One disadvantage is, as it is high quality camera, and looks attractive; when you leave it on a seat and walk off, it's not likely to stay there for very long in this ay and age, as I discovered. The 10.3 megapixels ensure high qulity, non-pixelated photos and I printed a few of my photos off A3 size, and the quality was still impecable. The zoom is excellent aswell, with 4x...
