Sony Cybershot DSCW300 Digital Camera

Great camera. There is even a mode for VGA pictures. Don't buy into the hype that more is better. My wife could have gotten away with a 90 dollars Sony instead of this one. All she does is take pictures and email them. What a waste of money. However this camera when I use it is great. When you take photos of mountains in the distance they disappear in your photo. Probably due the small lens. Not enough light. Anyway this is a great camera for all around pictures. Distance shots? Get an SLR or something with a lens bigger than a dime. Don't get me wrong ALL compact cameras are gonna have pretty much the same quality with a tiny lens. Just remember what you buy it for. My Panasonic sub SLR 5MP takes better pictures outdoors.

This time around as I was preparing to update from the Sony dsc-p200 I've had for 3-4 yrs, I wanted a more pocketable formfactor, optical image stabilization, closer macro focus, higher MP rating while maintaining at least the level of image quality I get from my current P&S;, continued access to manual control of shutter and aperture and, finally, a wider angle + longer telephoto range. Tall order it seems in the P&S; category. At first I rejected the w300 because of its pedestrian 35-105 mm focal length, though it had everything else I was looking for, but subsequent investigation didn't turn up many other options that didn't offer some other tradeoff. When it came to evaluating the relative merits of the various tradeoffs I determined that the focal length wasn't my grea... Read more
