Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5 ... classic design meets modern technology in the Cyber-shot W5 digital camera from Sony. It combines a traditional rangefinder camera layout with high-end features such as a huge 2.5" LCD screen, 5.1 Megapixel image capture, and high speed performance thanks to the Real Imaging Processor chip.

The W5's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens provides crisp, clear visuals and a 3X optical zoom without compromising the camera's amazingly compact design. Image quality is further enhanced with such features 5 area multi-point auto focus, auto focus illuminator and multi-pattern measuring.

The W5 includes 32 Megabytes of built-in flash memory, so you'll have room for additional photographs if you are ever without a Memory Stick media. With a classic build, easy control, and numerous advanced features, the Cyber-shot W5 has something for everyone.

I was given this camera as a present some time ago and have been really pleased with its ease of use. I am the type of photographer who likes to point and press and let the camera do the rest, so have been really happy with the results. The camera comes with two manuals. The smaller manual is really just a double sided sheet of paper called "Read this First" and includes the following on how to get you started fairly easily - Prepare the battery Turn the camera on Set the clock Insert a memory stick Select image size Shoot images easily Shoot still images View and delete images The other ...  Read the complete review

I've owned this digital camera for 8 months and have used it regularly over that time frame. The camera is a sturdy piece of kit, solid and reassuringly heavy.

The camera has tons of features allowing the hobbyist to experiment both with photographic settings as well as image processing settings. Unfortunately the manual wasn't that ...  Read the complete review

This is my third digital camera, and it is fantastic. I cannot enthuse enough about this camera. The processor is lightning fast and the the picture quality is as good as 35mm film. I recently attended a wedding, and with a 512mb stick got 250 brilliant pictures. Thats over 10 films worth! The software that comes with it is also very good. You get 2 sets of rechargeable batterries with is more than enough for a full days snapping. The video capture is also surprisingly good Buy one of ...  Read the complete review
