Great Point & Shoot

Bought at: Local Sony Style Store
Date: 12/20/08
Price: $329 (Holiday Special. Reg. $399)

I have owned the Sony DSC-P73 for many years. It has been an awesome camera and it still works. But I wanted a new one for mainly one reason.... a larger screen. I have been looking for a new camera for a few years. The Sony T2 & the T300 both have caught my eye. But I decided to wait until one camera had all I wanted. The T700 has all I want and then some.

The first thing you notice with this camera is its screen. It has a gigantic 3.5 in extra fine LCD touch screen with only 3 buttons located on the top (power, shutter and playback). This camera is sleek to say the least. Once on the screen is bright and can be viewed easily in daylight, without too much glare. For such a little camera it also packs a big zoom that is plenty for a point and shoot. While it took me a few hours to learn the interface design I now have it down packed and can maneuver easily though the settings. It has 4 GB of internal memory so you will always have room for that picture perfect shot. Plus it will take Memory Stick Duo if you do need any extra room. It will take wide-screen pictures (16:9) and will put out HD quality pictures with an additional cord. The Smile Shutter is pretty neat, automatically snapping the picture once everyone is smiling. Though I have found it to be a little slow if more than 3 people are in the picture. Now while the large screen is awesome it does have its draw back. The battery life is much shorter than my old Sony only averaging 8-10 hours of constant use. Luckily the battery will fully charge in 2.5-3 hours, but you may what to keep a spare on hand. Overall I could not be happier with this camera. It truly is Like No Other.

Nice Try but some huge issues.

I had a old cybershot that I just loved and so when I learned we were going to Disney I thought it was time to upgrade. It is a nice looking camera. But it has some huge issues.
One being red eye. Despite all of its red eye prevention features. (blinking pre flashes etc) They just don't work. It gets real old fast having to fix all the eyes and if your daughter has pretty green eyes then they are black in the pictures because of the red eye fix.

Also as someone else said. White spots all over night pictures. We had pretty pictures in front of the castle at night and they were ruined by white spots all over.

I'm very sad I spent so much money. Sometimes a lot of money doesn't mean better quality.

AWESOME!

I love love love this camera. It takes the picture quickly, it has tons of easily accessible features and is very small and thin. I bought the neoprene case with the clip. I like the case a lot it matches the pink of the camera. Some neat features are...it has a smile shutter that if turned on will only take a picture when all are smiling, this is nice for group shots and is very accurate. It also alerts you when it thinks someone has blinked in your picture-very handy. I can also edit by adding stamps, writing on the screen, making it black and white and monochrome and many more different things I'll let you discover those for yourself! I would recommend this camera to anyone. Buy an extra battery though!

Editorial Review :

The DSC-W130 Cyber-shot(R) digital camera delivers Smile Shutter technology for automatically capturing smiles as they happen and lets you share them beautifully in HD. You can expect stunning detail, thanks to 8.1-Megapixel Resolution and a Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens. Plus, Sony's Face Detection technology controls focus, exposure, and color on up to eight individual faces, resulting in more accurate, natural skin tones. Resize your photos in-camera for virtually any purpose. 4x optical zoom brings distant subjects closer to help you capture sharp, detailed long shots and quickly frame images for better composition. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto-focus measures focus at 9 precision points instead of 5, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5" TFT LCD (115K Pixels) display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight.

Nice camera, good price

This is a nice camera with easy to use features. One caution is that the kit does not include the memory stck and without it the camera's picture numbers are very limited. Most people will also want some type of carrying case because of the smallness of the unit. This is also an additional expenditure. The bottom line is that when comparing prices, check for needed accessories

Great camera

This is a great Sony product. It is very easy to use, light weight and takes super pictures even of my Granddogs, no red eye! The battery re-charge station is a BIG improvement over older models with cords.

Love this camera

I bought the DSCW130 to replace an older model Cybershot which suddenly stopped working. So far I love it. It's very small, but once I got used to the size, I found it very easy to use. The photos are crystal clear and there's practically no shutter release delay. Highly recommend!

Not that great...

I bought this camera to replace my old Sony DSC-P93. I was very happy with that one, my only complaint was that it was too slow so my 2-year old son always looked blurry because he would move before the camera was done taking the shot. This camera was slightly faster, but still not as fast as some others I have seen (Canon seems to make especially fast cameras). But the quality of the pictures was very good, so I probably would have ended up keeping this camera. But there was one huge drawback which made me end up returning it: the camera does not offer a date stamp on the photos! That is an absolute necessity for me, so I couldn't keep the camera. I wish someone had mentioned that in one of the reviews I read before purchasing it!!!

The Sony DSC-T300 offers excellent performance and an elegant, sophisticated design. It includes Face Detection technology to optimize focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces. The compact body houses 10.1-Megapixel resolution and a beautiful, wide 3.5" touch-screen LCD for easy operation.

The product was recieved in a couple of days, the best thing was that we were able to get the product that we wanted not just what the stores had. After shopping for a couple of days we purchase the camera at the best price through Amazon.Can not ask for anything else.

Thank You

Very Pleased with Sony Cybershot

I am absolutely thrilled with this camera. I am still learning how to use it with all its options. It will take me a while to get totally familiar with how to best use this but I am so looking forward to learning.

Rating :

Good value, takes getting used to

This camera is worth the cost, but you have a steep learning curve. If you're willing to learn how to deal with the arcane menu system, you'll be able to take surprisingly sophisticated pictures. I've had it for a couple of months, and I just returned yesterday from a week in Hawaii, where I really had the chance to use it.

At the outset, let me say that I drastically misjudged the rate of power consumption. I gave it a full charge before departure, but with only moderate use, it was drained by day three of my vacation. I used the camera in the cell phone for the rest of the trip! This was my own fault. I should have taken the battery charger with me. My cell phone is a Verizon LG Dare, which does a good job at 3 megapixels. The Sony is, of course, 10 megapix.

Nevertheless, I keep asking myself how much more is the Sony giving me than I would get with the cellphone camera? I leave that up to the user to decide.

I ordered the special cable that allows me to view the Cybershot pictures on the HDTV. This is a must. I save my pictures on the PC using Picasa, the free software from Google.

Some critics say the pictures from the Cybershot DSCT300 are "noisey." I'm not sure what this means. I think that most people will be quite pleased with the results. I expect that with more familiarity with the camera, my results will improve.

As I said in the very beginning, this is not a "point and shoot" camera. It has a wide array of menus and adjustment options. Without learning what these options do, one is not making full use of the technology. It would be like driving a car in first gear.

Taking movies works best with a stable platform, especially when the zoom is in full effect. My son who is a professional videographer introduced me to the cheap monopod, which works great. They can be had for less than $20.

Great on the budget

This camera does not have automatic photo rotation, NO memory card or case included, and sometimes if you simply touch the slide-down part it turns on then back off again. Seller only gave 10 days exchange/return, and I did not see that in time, or i would have gotten a later version. Otherwise, color is great, handling superb.

works perfectly but sometimes it gives you a hard time. Image is not at all clear in the dark even if you use the flash. Outdoor pictures comes good in the daytime. I like this camera but wont recommend others to buy this.

Pretty good camera

i've had this camera for a while.
the pictures are pretty good, except in low light the color gets a little fuzzy.
a picture without the flash doesn't take as well as when the flash is on, but i can't stand the flash because it totally distorts color . . . the subject gets really pale and the background gets too dark . . . it really annoys me.
but i love the auto adjust function it makes the pictures a whole lot clearer.
overall, it's a pretty good camera.

Still playing around...but not as good as I hoped

I received this camera a week ago and so far its been ok. first off...The camera is a 7mp not 7.2, I've been reading that a lot of people are being mislead about this. You really have to play around with the settings in order to get a really nice normal picture. Some settings produce extremely grainy low quality pictures. I have yet to upload the pictures to my computer so it may be that the LCD screen is just not giving the pictures justice (which has happened with previous cameras of mine).

The video feature is VERY nice. I used it on my friend the other night and the quality was surprisingly good.

I suggest reading the manual all the way through. i consider myself technologically sound and its still taken me a while to understand what all the symbols REALLY mean.
