Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCW80 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot (Silver)
Digital camera Review: SONY DSCW55 vs SONY DSCW80
Summary: 4 Stars
I am an amateur photographer and I own the DSCW55 and the DSCW80.
The image quality is good in both with the "Auto" Settings.
The W55 is cheaper in cost and more sleeker than the W80.
The W80 is the latest and the greatest, slightly bulkier and a little bit more expensive than the W55.
Digital camera Review: Simple Small Basic
Summary: 4 Stars
We recently went through the research process regarding a digital camera; no one camera suits all needs. They all seem to offer something. It's give and take, knowing that whatever you decide it will be obsolete by the time you receive it. There are hundreds of them to choose from and they just keep getting better and better.
We put off our decision long enough, and it was time to buy. We ended up with a basic Sony DSC-W80, because I wanted something small enough to fit into my husband's pocket since he has a habit of loading up my purse. We read reviews, and Amazon reviews for this camera were not that great; but it received higher ratings on other websites. It was the right camera for us.
Relatively inexpensive, so if I lose it I won't be suicidal. Tiny enough to forward the task of carrying it onto my husband. Long battery life so we don't become frustrated. Sufficient picture quality for a quick shot on the spur of the moment. A variety of settings to keep us entertained. It does have a mediocre macro and a zoom.
Motion artifact causing blurs become apparent when pictures are viewed on a large monitor, even though our model has Sony's version of image stabilization, "Steady Shot". As with all cameras, zoomed pictures become increasingly blurred to motion without the assistance of a steady foundation, such as a tripod.
We are having fun with it, my daughter bought one. My son borrowed mine and is considering one for himself. He described it as a basic, simple, decent camera.
We paid around $180 at Best Buy on Black Friday, plus tax. The 2G memory sticks were half price that day, for $20. The memory stick deal helped sway our decision at the time.
If you want gorgeous high-quality pictures, get an SLR and have fun creating unique images with manual settings and lenses. The sacrifice for this decision includes: More expensive. Won't fit in your pocket or a purse. Someone's going to have to lug it around and take responsibility for it.
Digital camera Review: Small, Fast, Easy
Summary: 4 Stars
Review from a snap-shooter: I like it a lot - small and lightweight, good for fast action and I managed to operate it by intuition. Long battery life, big LCD screen, and a viewfinder! Downloads are simple (don't need the Sony software). A negative is that the little program settings wheel is easily rotated by accident, and all of a sudden you are taking a movie. I also seem to get a lot of overexposures in distance shots.
I had a Canon Digital Elph before (which I was very happy with), so that's what I'm comparing it to.
Digital camera Review: So far So good
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought it 3 weeks ago and I feel very impressed, If you hold the right way, even on dark, really takes good pictures
and the software helps me to separate my pictures acording to the date and the hour that was taken.
Digital camera Review: So happy I chose this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera takes beautiful photos, and the settings make sense. It turns on and off quickly and is ready to go when I need it. Very good value.
