Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80

I needed a digital camera to take pictures just around the house, so I didn't opt to buy an expensive SLR. This Cybershot DSC-W80 by Sony is a great point and shoot, and it's loaded with features to enhance your photos as well. This camera is sturdy and can take a beating. The casing is made of metal, aluminum most likely, and I do believe there is a titanium version of this camera if you're willing to spend the extra $100. I have accidentally dropped this camera countless times and it always works just fine afterwards. My only complaint with it is the battery-compartment door, it's made of PLASTIC which has been chromed to match the other real metal accents ...  Read the complete review

I have been a Sony fan for many years now and with each Sony item I buy, I am pleasantly surprised at just how good they are. It started with the first version of the Playstation and the latest item I have got is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 7.2 Mega Pixel digital camera.

I decided to look at the Sony cameras as this is a brand I trust as my TV and laptop are both ...  Read the complete review

My partner and I take an obscene amount of photos and it was really important to us that we got a camera that was good quality, easy to use and good value for money. We had a sony cyber shot before this model which was a cheaper one which eventually broke on us and we spent a LONG time deciding this was the camera for us! I am more than impressed with every aspect of this camera. The images are super clear and there are a group of useful settings for taking images in snow, around water, in the dark, portrait pictures etc. This basically means you put it on the setting and it does the rest for you. There is also a setting that allows you to programme the ...  Read the complete review
