Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170

I bought this camera before going on a trip to Paris, and have found very few faults with it. The main qualities I want of a camera are a big screen, a fast reload after pictures are taken and brilliant quality photos which won't blur. And that's exactly what I got and more. Even in museums with dim lights the photos came out perfectly. Technical details: *10.1 effective megapixels resolution for clear enlargements up to A3 size *5x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 30mm wide angle for panoramic landscapes and large group shots *Smile Shutter waits until the subject smiles before firing the shutter with ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love this camera. I've owned it for almost a year now and I'm still not tired with it. Everything about the camera is brilliant, the images are sharp, great quality and look proffessional. It has a really good video capture too, the sound is a little scrappy, but the quality of the video is just as good as any other home video camera, I didn't even know the camera had this feature when I bought it, and I had never been interested in filming videos before but now I actually take more videos than images. The battery is ok, It lasts long enough but it is not especially long...I would say it has an average battery length. The ...  Read the complete review

I've had a long experience of using Sony Cyber-Shot cameras over the years and found them excellent, this camera falls into the same category. With the picture quality extremely good overall compared to similar cameras in a similar price range. The large screen is clear and has a nice design to it which gives the camera its own personal look. I haven't asssessed the printed quality of photos although I expect that it to be a high quality. The viewfinder is option feature and for me I find it very useful better than my previous cameras. It is sometimes tricky to navigate through the many featues on the device to find what you want, but this is a minor criticism to the ...  Read the complete review

The Sony W170 digital camera has to be one of the best value for money cameras. The quality which would be expected from Sony is still there, and also it shoots great photos. There are various features on the camera, for example the smile shutter, which is great for pin pointing faces when taking photos, and the megapixels on the camera is high too, 10.1 to be exact. I've had the camera a few weeks now, and I'm very impressed, the camera tends to be better in more lit areas, however the flash helps with the picture quality in dark areas, which can sometimes be a little poor. The camera has a lithium ion battery, which lasts for long periods of time, the charger is great, ...  Read the complete review

Have this camera since last Christmas as it was a gift from my husband. We had before another Sony Cybershot but it was time for a new one as the digital cameras market moves so fast. So I had enough opportunity to test it with so many parties and also with a 1 year old nephew which proved that the "Smile Shutter" option in this camera is brilliant and a really fun feature. What it does is it detects a smile on the person and then it takes the pictures automatically until you disable it. So I got some great, natural looking pictures. The 10.1 mega pixels resolution is a plus but not really necessary for day-to-day pictures. I am currently using the 5 ...  Read the complete review
