Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCW120/B 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Black)
Digital camera Review: Great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera was for my wife. What she was hoping for was a camera that took the shot immediately instead of waiting a couple seconds (very important for capturing moments). It does this and also takes great sharp pictures every time with nice lighting and not too much contrast like her old camera had. She has only used it for a couple days but so far she is extremely happy with it. For the price it was a great deal!Digital camera Review: Great camera

It's just about perfect, for me. Of course, I'd like the quality and control of an SLR in a tiny package, but for something this portable it does a fine job. The onscreen descriptions of the settings are just fantastic, the ISO (low light) mode has to be seen to be believed...very little noise, even without flash. Pictures are mostly sharp, though without flash you still have to maintain a steady hand, as with any camera. Very balanced and realistic color. It's a very intuitive camera that lets you concentrate on your composition and not worry too much about exposure, which I think is what a small point and shoot should give you. I also love the 16x9 modes for stills, haven't done any video with it. I'd recommend getting a clear shield to stick on the screen, like I did...seems very scratchable otherwise. If I lost it I'd probably get the same camera again. I'm pretty conservative with my reviews, I'm sure many people would give this an unabashed 5 stars, and I almost did, but you still get the occasional surprise when you shoot something that should have turned out fine but didn't for some reason....I think it's just where the tech is at right now, but this camera rocks, no doubt.Digital camera Review: Great camera for the money, few lil' things would do differently...
Summary: 4 Stars
We have purchased this camera about a month ago and as of now we like it. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, it has a large screen and the 4x zoom comes handy. And the most important thing - it takes great pictures for a point and shoot cam.
The only thing that I don't care too much is the zoom button. I would have kept it together with the shoot button instead of moving it to the back with the rest of the controls. But that's just me, I guess.
And another wish of mine for the Sony people - put a designated video button - it's so handy if you are shooting a lot of videos. Especially since the video this camera takes is as good as any regular video cam that I have messed with... And let us zoom in and out while we shoot videos - it's probably not very hard to do...
July 2009. We have used the camera for a while now, it still works well. One thing that we found out is that in Auto setting it gets confused when you have a dark and well lighted spots on the same shot - like shooting a face with side light on it. Then the lighted side gets overexposed and basically white. Not too good. I found out that this is common for Sony cameras, even for the expensive once. My friend just got rid of his because of this... Maybe there is a way to deal with it in other modes, but who wants to mess with that..
