Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCW80 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot (Silver)

Digital camera Review: Camera
Summary: 5 Stars

This camera exceeded expectations. This is the first camera ever purchased with face detection and the difference is obvious. The camera compensates for moving images and shaky hands with great photos that would be blurry with other cameras. Pictures taken in low light or at night time are amazing - we actually captured falling snow and the pictures are beautiful!!
Overall, this camera is an exceptional value for the price and good for anyone that wants quality photos in a variety of situations.

Digital camera Review: Color grains visible in almost all pics
Summary: 3 Stars

Image quality isnt upto the mark. I compared it with my sister's 3 year old Canon (5 mp), and canon gave much better pic quality. In this model, almost all pics have colors going bad when u zoom in the pic to 100 %.Also images arent sharp. I get the similar kind of pics which i get from camera phones. This is my 1st digital camera and I am not satisfied with it.

Esp indoors quality is poor even if u shoot at ISO 100. The color grains are visible in almost all pics. Also there 's no option to shoot less than 100 ISO.

I probably wont recommend it.

Digital camera Review: Crooked Pictures
Summary: 2 Stars

Something bizarre is happening with this camera, and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue. When I take pictures using the viewfinder, the pictures come out crooked. I've experimented with hundreds of pictures. When I square images in the viewfinder, the pictures always seem as if they dip a little to the left. When I deliberately offset images in the viewfinder to compensate for the dip, the images are corrected. So, when using the viewfinder, I have to always shoot images cockeyed in order to capture them correctly.

When I use the screen to frame images, I get slightly better results. However, I have to use the gridline feature, and I have to match the gridlines with something straight (such as a distant building or the horizon). Using this method, it takes me much longer to snap a picture.

I thought I was just imagining things until I asked a few friends to try the camera. They definitely confirmed that something weird was going on. They claim that the viewfinder has a kind of fishbowl effect, which makes it hard to frame images.

Overall, I find the camera easy to use. As a point-and-click camera, the image quality is excellent. However, until I can figure out how to shoot a straight image, I have to give this camera a low rating.

Digital camera Review: DSC-W80
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent digital camera. 7.2 Megapixel is great for extreme detail up to about 10 feet. I use the camera mostly for documenting my house construction. The info lithium battery is the way to go in my experience. After taking about 100 pictures, viewing them on the camera more than a few times, and going through menu items - the battery still has almost a full charge. I will probably never go with digital camera's that use AA batteries again. The info lithium can easily get you through a couple days vacation on one full charge.
