Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 ... Duo - silver / This one's got it all. The Cyber-shot DSC-W220 combines point-and-shoot ease-of-use with advanced features in a sophisticated, compact body. Smile Shutter technology allows you to capture a smile the moment it happens, and the Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens, optical SteadyShot image stabilization, and 12.1-megapixel resolution deliver crisp, clear images.

A powerful 12.1-megapixel super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 12.1-megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

Although it is 12 mega pixels the fact that the processor cannot handle the picture properly pretty much devalues the amount of pixels, this bundled with the fact that the lenses aren't that good either resulted in some decent and bad pictures. Moving onto the LCD screen which is simply amazing, even in direct sunlight it can be read with no problem and the...more

Crowned Review Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220: Point and shoot the Sony way! (2141 words)
by - written on 04/06/09 (Very useful, 371 readings)
Rating:

The last camera review I wrote was on the fantastic Sony A700 DSLR and at the time I mentioned that Sony are still very new in the DSLR market, they are however very well established in the point and shoot market and the camera I am reviewing today (the Cyber-shot DSC-W220) is the latest in their fabulous Cyber-shot W range. It comes in the usual range of colours (silver, black, blue and red, with a pink version no doubt on the way soon). It was only released in March so it is still relatively new on the market but the price has come down fairly quickly, having been released at over £200 you can now pick one up for around the £140 mark. This is the first ...  Read the complete review

One word - Superb! I bought my last camera 7 years ago, it was a casio with 7.1 megapixels, at that time it was great but recently bought myself a new one. Bought my new camera sony w210 on Wednesday. I love the fact that it can be plugged into your tv so that you can watch your pictures and movies on your television. The quality of pictures is absoloutley fantastic, 12.1 megapixel. The screen is large enough so that you can see your pictures clearly. The smile shutter is the best feature on it, it takes a few times to get used to but you hold the shutter down and it remembers your face so that when you look at the person again it takes ...  Read the complete review

I have owned this camera for over a few months and to be honest I wasn't overly impressed by it. Starting on design the camera looks very slick and sweet in the silver colour although all other colours apart from black should be avoided at all costs as it starts looking more like a toy camera than a £150 real one. Next onto picture quality, the camera does produce decent shots that can be easily blown up pretty big which is always good for posters although don't expect it to be impressive. Although it is 12 mega pixels the fact that the processor cannot handle the picture properly pretty much devalues the amount of pixels, this bundled with the fact that the lenses ...  Read the complete review

I recently received the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 as a birthday present. I have the pink version and it is a very stylish compact design and the brushed aluminium finish does not seem to scratch easily. The zoom is fast and does not seem to have as much of a drain on the battery life as I have found with precious cameras and at 4x optical zoom is more than adequate for general use. The lithuim battery may provide a disadvantage for some as it has to be mains charged, however it is possible to purchase extra batteries and this is recommended for those who use the advanced features over long peroids of time between charges, though the battery life is longer than with other ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220: TIme for an upgrade? (169 words)

Yes yes yes! I was given one of these for my birthday and to be honest i was initially disappointed. I already had a digital camera (a Nikon 7.2 mega pixel compact) and I thought "What do I want a new camera for?". ANd then I took it out of the box! This Sony is a thing of beauty. It is vibrantly coloured (I have the blue one) and the body is finished with stunning brushed aluminium. THe edges are rounded nicely, so that the whole camera feels great in your hands. And it doesn't feel flimsy - it has a quality feel to it (although I wouldn't want to drop it hehe!). The zoom is fast and powerful (not like my old camera which ...  Read the complete review
