Customer Reviews Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 12 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Silver)From Sony

W230 Okay, so if you've read the reviews on other websites; yes, in flash mode the images can get blurry if you don't hold the camera absolutely still. But in every other setting, the camera does deliver. The quality is crystal clear - even in the 8MP mode, though, of course not as good as the 12MP mode. Another thing, videos are not high def but are not grainy either at best quality and zoom is respectable for a digicam. All in all, for this price I don't think there is a better camera on the market.

Customer Reviews Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 12 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Bronze)From Sony

Sony DSC-T900 camera Excellent!! Great HD video. Very good pictures. We also purchased the 4 GB memory stick (I recommend it). Touch screen on the camera makes life very easy. Light weight camera, stick it in your shirt pocket and go!! The charger is small and user friendly. All in All I love it!! I want to find some cons for you.....maybe picture quality (When blowing up) loses some quality (Not that much). I would buy it again if needed.
Fantastic Camera Recently got this camera after my wife lost our Samsung TL34HD (which still isn't a bad camera) however this one is light years above anything I have seen! For a point and shoot (literally) it takes amazing pictures. The iSCN feature does a perfect job adjusting to your environment. I just took some pictures today using the High Speed shutter mode and it really looks like you are not only there but can envision what will happen next. You can't forget the video ... amazing also. I do wish it had a pause recording option (the Samsung did). Takes video in HD quality - I don't have an HD TV but the video is clear and crisp both on the camera and on my PC. Definitely get a spare battery (does drain quickly since the LCD is your view finder) and a High Speed memory card.

Customer Reviews Sony Cybershot DSCW120/P 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Pink)From Sony

Great pocket camera Specifically wanted a camera that would 1) fit in my pocket 2)have image stabilization 3) could take pictures, movies in a darkened environment. Could not be happier with the Sony Cybershot DSCW120! My intent was to take the camera to a concert, and (hopefully) get pictures with the band. So, concealment (pocketsized) was an issue, as was blurring and dark environment. Pictures were a complete success. And the camera itself is extremely easy to use- point and shoot settings. So easy, even a lead singer can use it (to take my picture with the drummer). Another fun feature is the smile shutter. In this setting, a picture is automatically taken when a subject smiles. Video quality is great (again, mainly used in concert setting), and battery lasts a long time, and is easily recharged. I would completely recommend this camera.
Excellent!! I've had it for a little less than a year and it's the best camera i've had ... hands down! I've had HP cameras before and there's NO comparison Great pictures, fast and easy download to computer, great zoom, good video! You can even use it to transfer data from one computer to another (like a memory stick)...
Satisfied with camera As much as I'd like to be a talented photographer, I have collected cameras that are too much work to learn how to use and require more expertise than I'm willing to invest. This camera is easy to use, takes great pictures, is compact, and is a good buy!
