I looked and researched the cheap digital camera market quite thoroughly and came to the decision of buying the Cyber-shot DSC-W510. At first I was hesitant as I thought the cheapness will defiantly affect the build and picture quality. Turns out I was totally wrong!!!!
The camera has great picture and video quality. The picture quality is slightly disappointing when in poor lighting conditions but the flash deals with this quite nicely.
I was also impressed with the ease of use as all the features are easily accessible with just a few steps. My favourite feature is the face recognition as it is very accurate and focuses the image very nicely. I found the screen size which is 2.7 inches big enough to easily look at the photos. The photo quality seems to be quite poor when viewing from the camera screen but when I use the computer the pictures become very clear due to the better screen.
The battery life is quite impressive for average use as it lasts through 3 to 4 occasions. However, if you are a keener photographer then having two batteries would be ideal.
The camera has I very robust build as it hasn't sustained a single scratch on the screen or elsewhere.
