Great Camera!

I was very pleasantly surprised at what a great little camera this was when I received it. The music with the slide show was a great feature. The quality of the pictures is great and the features that are in this camera are too numerous to list. I have a Cyber Shhot that is a couple of years old and the difference between them is amazing. Both take great pictures, but this one goes that extra yard to make it a real joy to play with. The service from amazon was great, as always.

For the electronic impaired

I bought this for my wife who has problems with anything electronic; she just doesn't have any luck operating the things. This camera has an 'Easy' setting, does everything for her except actually push the button to take the picture. It has stablization, face & smile recongition, a large LED screen and of course auto exposure. I also bought a 4G card, so she will have fewer trips to the computer to upload. Don't get me started on that adventure!

Great little camera

This camera is fantastic! It is very resilient. I got it wet while traveling and it was foggy for a half hour and then dried itself out. It also bounced around my purse for three weeks in Europe with no problem. It takes great pictures and works well at night. The zoom feature works very well and switching between the easy and auto feature is easy. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a light camera they can take anywhere.

E91:01 error

The camera is good. But only after 2 weeks of use, I got the E91:01 error. (Google for it). Initializing the camera didn't help. Sony's online chat support was profoundly uninformed and unhelpful and asked to send the camera back for repair (shipping costs mine) since as per the "analyst" it has an internal malfunction. So now I have a camera with no flash. I can take pictures fine except have to turn off the flash.
Anyways this is going back to Amazon. They already issued an RMA. So buying this camera is a gamble -- a significant number of people get the E91:01 error and Sony's tech support is clueless.

Sony Cybershot

I love the camera. This is my third Sony and would never purchase another brand. They are easy to use and take amazing pictures. I have a custom bridal business and use the camera to keep a portfolio of my creations. It never disappoints.

Love my little Sony camera

Needed a pocket sized camera to have handy and capture the moments in everyday life. The dsc-w170 is wonderful. It has many functions, yet you can start taking great picture right out of the package. We have the Sony Hybrid and love it but considered it too much for hauling around on trips and everyday stuff -- thus this Sony purchase.

Also with a memory card it can dispaly thousands of pictures -- great brag book - can just do a slide show and share!!

OK but.........

This is the 2nd Cyber-Shot camera that I have purchased. It is a great little point and shoot. This model however seems to be much more sensitive then the 120 I previously owned. Many of my photos are blurred. I use this model exactly as I did for my 120 and the % of bluured shots is greatly increased on the 170. Seems a mono or Trip Pod will need to be my next purchase although that removes the convenience of ownin a point and shoot.

So the camera and its features are ok but the Jury is still out.

Sony Cybershot 13.6 Megapixels Won't Disappoint You

I bought the new Sony Cybershot for my husband for Christmas 2008. He had the older model of the same camera, but had many complaints. Fortunately, it seems Sony has listened to what consumers disliked about its previous versions and has corrected everything about it. (Given we've only had the camera a few weeks, but so far so good.)

Here are THREE major aspects we disliked about the OLD Cybershot and how they have been corrected (at least to our knowledge):

1.) OLD - The old Cybershot didn't have a viewfinder, and on a sunny day you couldn't see what you were shooting because of the reflection off the LCD screen.
NEW - There's a viewfinder! This was seriously my first criterion for buying a new digital camera.

2.) OLD - It could not handle photographs at nighttime. Everything always turned out blurry and the colors distorted.
NEW - the new, more user-friendly camera now has a setting which makes night shots a breeze. And the red-eye removal even eliminates red-eye for my blue eyes, which I rarely see the true color of in pictures because my pupils are always enlarged.

3.) OLD - The batteries went like hot cakes!
NEW - Now, the Cybershot comes with a lithiom ion battery which holds up well and it includes an easily portable wall-charger (NO CORDS!).

Overall, we are truly enjoying the new Cybershot. It's sleek, thin enough to fit in most pockets, user-friendly, and the picture quality is excellent with the 13.6 megapixels. We highly recommend this Sony if you're in the market for a new digital camera!

Nice pics--a little slow

OK, I'm not a super geek techie when it comes to cameras, I simply wanted a camera that I could take photos of my new baby. This camera does take beautiful photos--BUT it's s bit slow from the time you depress the button to actual capture. My husband's EXLIM is much much faster. This might not be a big deal for posed photos or older children, but when you're trying to capture a moment like a fleeting smile--those milliseconds matter.

Never Fails

This is my 3rd Sony digital camera only because I wanted to upgrade from the last model. Sony has never failed to please me with ANY of their products. The pictures are crisp and loaded with color. All of the functions this camera has makes it versital and just fun. Simple to use and offers clear control options. When you first pick it up, you feel the quality build of this unit. Glad I bought this one, sweet camera.

Epitome of Human Achievement

This camera is simply amazing. It has so many EASY to use features and settings, that other digital cameras look like disposables next to it. The BIG seller for my wife and I was the mega pixel count. We have already taken two pictures and blown them up 8X11 and one larger while retaining the crystal clear look of the original shot. We also plan to by the wide-angle and telephoto lenses available for this camera.... YES, that's right, you can hook these types of lenses to this particular digital camera. If this camera had one flaw, it would be that it doesn't focus as fast as i would have hoped, but it is still a hell of a lot fast than our old one.

Editorial Review :

Zoom in and capture all the action with the H10. This full-featured point-and-shoot camera shines with outstanding high-power zoom capability and Advanced Sports mode for split-second detail. It includes Face Detection technology to optimize focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces. Snap incredibly clear photos with 8.1-Megapixel Resolution, and enjoy tight close-ups with the 10x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus display tilts up for comfortable low-angle shooting, and an anti-reflective coating provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight. To capture fast-moving subjects in split-second detail, this innovative shooting mode combines high shutter speed up to 1/4000 second with Intelligent Continuous AF that responds more quickly to rapid motion. You can fire off three shots automatically at 1-second intervals (VGA standard mode) or 2-second intervals (full resolution mode).

Very satisfied

I find this camera excellent for my photography needs, which are taking pictures of my family in different situations, such as doing sports, playing with friends, at parites, etc. I am no expert photographer, so I really appreciated the cameras easy-to-understand instructions and ease of use. I also like the fact that the battery lasts much longer than regular batteries. There is almost no waiting time between pictures.

Great Camera, good price, great seller

For the money, this camera is great. It has the 10x optical zoom for taking pictures of the kids when they're on stage. The 8.1 MP is good. The camera is not too chunky. We are very happy with it and highly recommend it. We own other Sony digital cameras and have never been disappointed.

nice digital image machine

I am a Ludite when it comes to these new digital cameras. I really miss photographic paper and the chemicals, but you can't work with this stuff and kids so, I got this camera thing and it has O.K. images but not photographs. Never confuse digital imagery with photography, it really is a different thing. This one has a rechargeable battery and, if you get one of these cameras get a second battery. It has a really nice image screen and the buttons are fairly user friendly. It is O.K., but it ain't photography.

Take stunning shots in a variety of conditions. The Sony DSC-W150 Cyber-shot(R) 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera features an Intelligent Scene mode, which automatically selects the right settings for your environment. Smile Shutter technology lets you instantly capture smiles the moment they happen. A Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens and Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution provide crisp, clear images.
