Sony Cybershot DSCHX90V/BCE32 Point & Shoot Camera Reviews

Small & handsome camera but poor performance
Nov 18, 2008 05:27 PM 3141 Views

Small, simple, and easy to use, the Sony S750 is handsome and has an attractive price. Measuring 3.6 x 2.2 x 1.0 inches (91 x 56 x 27 millimeters) and weighing only 5 ounces (143 grams), the DSC-S750 is meant for travel.The camera has a 7.2-megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom lens, and a bright 2.5-inch color LCD display.


Look and feel. Though trim and compact, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 was comfortable to hold in my medium-sized hands. Likewise, one-handed shooting was also easy to manage, though I did notice a tendency for my thumb to slide over (and thus smudge) the LCD monitor. The lack of a thumb rest on the rear panel means your thumb has to rest on the Zoom lever or Mode dial most of the time. This typically wasn't a problem, as the Mode dial wasn't easily turned, and the Zoom lever was just firm enough that it wasn't accidentally pressed either. On the upside, all of the Sony S750's external controls are clustered along the right side of the rear panel, which makes one-handed shooting less of a problem.The large, bright, 2.5-inch color LCD monitor covers practically all of the camera's rear panel, leaving just enough room for the small selection of controls clustered along the right side.


Though its surface is highly reflective (and easily smudged and scratched), the Sony S750's LCD is still easy to see under bright sunlight. There is no fine LCD brightness adjustment, but the Display button on the rear panel does offer a slightly brighter display mode for outdoor shooting. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 offers a standard 3x optical zoom lens, equivalent to a 35-105mm zoom on a 35mm camera. In addition to its optical zoom range, the Cyber-shot DSC-S750 offers Sony's 2x Precision Digital Zoom, which does an nice job of preserving image resolution and detail despite digital enlargement. We always like to remind readers that digital zoom often results in lower resolution and detail, because the camera is simply cropping the center of the frame and enlarging it, but the DSC-S750's digital zoom should yield good results if print sizes are kept small, or images used for online purposes. Sony also included their Smart Zoom technology, which you can enable through a Settings menu. Smart Zoom limits the amount of digital enlargement based on the resolution setting, also in an effort to hold onto detail and reduce artifacts. The Cyber-shot DSC-S750 is equipped for normal shooting conditions, featuring a handful of preset Scene modes, Face Detection technology, and tools like ISO, white balance, sharpness, and color mode adjustments. Straightforward and easy to operate, the DSC-S750 is a comfortable travel companion.


Interface. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750's interface is easy to navigate, with few external controls and a limited record menu. You can literally just point and shoot the majority of the time without needing the LCD menu system. The main menu layout is logical and straightforward, and similar to preceding Cyber-shot models with a set of tabs lining the bottom of the LCD display, whose menus fly up into the image area. The arrow keys of the Multi-controller navigate menu options, while the center button confirms selections. The Sony S750's external controls are also quite straightforward. The Power and Shutter buttons are the only controls on the top panel, and both remain flush with the camera for a sleek profile. The remaining controls are all tucked along the right side of the LCD monitor. The Mode dial on the rear panel controls the main exposure mode, and the four-way Multi-controller immediately below not only navigates through menu settings, but also accesses Display, Macro, Flash, and Self-Timer modes.


Modes. The Mode dial on the rear panel controls the Sony S750's main shooting mode. Choices include Auto, Program, Movie, Snow, Beach, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Soft Snap, and High Sensitivity modes. The Auto option is more like a traditional fully automatic exposure mode, keeping most exposure variables under automatic control, while Program mode expands user control to include white balance, metering, ISO, sharpness and color options. The preset scene options are fairly self-explanatory, each optimizing the camera for common-yet-tricky shooting conditions. Sony's Face Detection technology automatically enables in many of the camera's shooting modes, adjusting focus and exposure for better portraits.The Cyber-shot S750 provides a useful selection of exposure tools in many of its shooting modes, including the ability to choose ISO (from 100 to 1, 250), metering, color mode, white balance, exposure compensation, and sharpness. Through its Record menu, the Sony S750 offers a Burst photography mode, which Sony rates as fast as 3 frames in 1.2 seconds for large/fine JPEGs, which matched our test findings. The Sony S750 is also equipped for capturing 320 x 240-pixel movies with sound, at frame rates as high as 30 frames per second.We noticed significant blurring in the corners of the frame at full wide angle, with ISO slightly less blurring at telephoto. The effect was noticeable in many of the DSC-S750's images.


Appraisal. The Sony Cyber-shot S750 has a few issues. Overall exposure is adequate in many cases, but image quality and color accuracy need improvement. Image noise is on the high side, and there's a good deal of blurring from the camera's effort to suppress that noise. The Sony S750 is inexpensive, easy to use, very portable, and results aren't entirely terrible. Our printed results do show that it's more of a 4x6-only camera, only capable of producing truly sharp 5x7-inch prints at ISO 100; raise the ISO any higher, you're better sticking to 4x6-inch prints. Most 7-megapixel digital cameras are at least capable of printing sharp 11x14-inch prints, but the Sony S750's output is too soft at that size.


Spend more time learning about your cameras

To start things off, please. Do not listen to the reviewers who said that the lens is poor. The lens on this camera, when compared to the lens on the Canon Sd790IS, Sd1100IS, and SD770IS, simply trumps them in every way - from middle to the extreme corners of the image. The canon, however, becomes very blurry toward the edges giving a kind of "motion" feeling - not the sony. Some say the canon shots look for colorful and eye-popping. To achieve shots like this, simply go into program mode, adjust the image sharpness to "+" and the color mode to "vivid" and the pictures are the same, if not better. The sony outdoes canon here by adding in a Dynamic range optimization in three steps: off, normal, or extra. With this, the camera can achieve a great range of colors in both the highlights and shadows of a shot.


Where as the sony doesn't have the "color-swap" wiz-bang functions, it does have more useful settings like the Extra High Speed Burst setting, which can take 5 Frames per second! I tested this with my dog rolling around in the yard, and at each frame the camera had shot at such a high shutter speed my dog was stopped in time with out any blur. These pictures are only at 3MP, but are still very respectable for a camera that can fit in your shirt pocket. Also, the camera has program settings to bring out different colors in an image to achieve a certain look. Either Blue, Red, Green, or your can change the image to warmer or color depending on the shot you want to take. The green mode is very useful for macro nature shots.


Also - 13.6 megapixels may be to big for some people (roughly 5-5.5 MB's per image), however when you turn the notch down to 8M, Bayer Interpolation goes away on the sensor, and the picture quality, in good light, starts to approach starter level SLR's, when the noise reduction is set right. Simple do a search on Flickr for "W300" to see what I mean. One small gripe though - you cannot zoom while recording video. You CAN zoom before starting the video, but once the camera starts recording you cannot zoom in or out any further. I also purchased Soft Carrying Case (Genuine Leather) LCS-TWB for DSC-T100, T75 T70, T25, T20, W90, W85, W80, W55, W35 black with this camera, and although the case doesn't even mention this camera in the compatibility list (I believe this camera came out AFTER this case) the case works wonderfully with the camera, and makes the already exuding quality of this product feel even more classy. P.S. -> Nikon Is going to use the Sony developed sensor in this camera on their upcoming "P6000" flagship advanced P&S, adding to the credibility of this camera.


The Hybrid Video/Digital Camera is here with the S
Nov 14, 2008 06:27 PM 3889 Views

I, like many, have been searching for a device that successfully combines the camera with the camcorder. We have an older point and shoot Sony camera, and a Canon MiniDV Camcorder and I've noticed over the last year the camcorder has been spending more time left at home, while the number of short clips from the still camera was growing. The new Sony T500 was delivered last week and it's exceeding many of my expectations.


The large touch screen on the back allows the design to be simple and intuitive. I thought I would miss control buttons on the back, but don't. There are smaller form factors out there, but the T500 easily fits in a pocket and is definitely on the sleek and compact side of things. Camera feels solid and well built. HD Video Recording: Simply toggle the switch to the right and you're in movie mode. Outdoor shooting in good light produces some very impressive video. Displayed on a flat screen, I'd have to say this little camera easily out performs my non HD camcorder. Low light shooting was not as sharp and a camcorder probably does better in low light.


That said, I would still not hesitate in buying this camera. Zoom during video moves at one speed(unlike a camcorder where you can control the speed that you zoom in and out), but it's a good, moderately slow speed. Audio is crisp and clean. Shooting video may take a little getting used to. Because the T500 is so much smaller and lighter then a camcorder, extra thought must go into keeping the camera still and keeping your motions smooth during panning. I haven't come close to the 10 minute video limit. I know some will argue you need unlimited shooting time for weddings, birthdays, etc. but when I put movies together with iMovie, I've found that any clips over a couple minutes make the movie REALLY boring.


For those special occasions, I have no problem lugging around my camcorder, but for daily life and times you don't want to shove a camcorder in people's faces, the Sony T500 excels. Still Photos: Like video recording, outdoor and good lighting produce some beautiful photos. Indoor and low light are not as good but I've found the "Twilight Portrait" scene mode produces some decent photos. We primarily view our photos on a flat screen, and the 16:9 picture mode is great for landscapes and scenery shots. Even though it's not an Ultra Wide 28mm lens, the wide angle is still wider then our previous camera(3-4 year old Sony). Sure a larger zoom would be nice, but considering the slim design, 5X is pretty good, and you better have a tripod if you're shooting video above 5-10X. Not surprisingly, the still camera is a noticeable upgrade to our old 5 mega pixel camera. Battery life does seem a little short, but I've been shooting a lot of video and spending a lot of time reviewing on the large touchscreen.


Definitely need a back up, and I like the US version of the battery charger. Prongs fold out and you simply plug it in the wall(No Cord Mess). Overall, I'm very satisfied with our purchase. The video and photo quality are impressive. I'm not quite sure I'm ready to sell off the camcorder, but I know it will be spending even more time stored at home.

Error C:13:01 "Format Error"
Nov 14, 2008 02:52 AM 4892 Views

I bought Sony DCS T5 camera 2 years back by paying 22k. I decided to buy this after reading  the reviews @ CNET website and consulted some of the photographers.It looks very professional and very easy to use.Picture quality is good but not as of professional cameras.


Last month we planned to go for holiday and take out this camera and copied all the photos from Memory stick Pro Duo to my Sony VAIO. Then I inserted the Memory card in the camera slot. Here came the trouble! Display showing Error C:13:01 "Format Error"  "Re inser Memory stick". I tried several times reinserting the stick.No way, still continued to show the error with beep sound.I was disappointed.It has got only 32MB of internal memory space which is not sufficient.


I called sony helpline and explained the problem.Then I had to take it to the nearest sony service centre.explained the problem and handover the camera.I was told that they will call me in a day or two.They didn't call. After few days, I called them to check the status.They told It can not be repaired! This time I was very much dissappointed.I ask them is there any way to fix the issue and they told it cost another camera.It is better to buy a new one instead of repair.


I collected my camera back and thought of dumping it. And on the way back to home I was thinking  which camera to buy. I was feeling very bad. I had invested 22k and in vain just two years.


I started looking for the camers on Sony, Cannon, Nikon website.It just happened that I typed the Keyword "C:13:01" in google.I got hundred of results especially from FIXYA.COM.I read all the solutions and came to know that this is because of the memory stick which is not connecting properly.I cleaned the contact pins of both Memory stick and Camera.No use! I tried all the suggestions given in the website.Reisterted the Memory stick 20-30 times.Problem was not fixed.


During this process once I tried to insert stick slowly, wonderful! Camera start accessing the card! It was showing the memory stick on the LCD and not error. When insert the stick to lock it, error appeared again! I pushed the stck slowly again. Camera detects the card.Now I took some photos by holding the stick in the same position.It worked!But I can not push the stck further to lock it.If I do, error appears.Then I decided to keep the stick in that position by inserting a piece of paper to hold it in the position, then I closed the lid.


Now it is working fine without any erros.Only problem is whenever open the lid to charge the battery the memory stick get misplaced.I have to position this properly.


Now I wonder why the Sony engineers were unable to fix this issue?

Very nice & easy to use digital camera
Nov 13, 2008 04:35 PM 3335 Views

This was my 1st purchase in digital camera series, and I am still very satisfied with this model. Though afterwards, I have used olympus, canon & kodak models also, but still for some reasons, I love this handy camera.


The highlights of this digital camera is that it is very light-weighted, compact in size - can even fit in a small ladies purse or even in gents upper shirt pocket. Moreover being compact in size, they are very user friendly cameras. Even the latest versions of this model like DSC-650, DSC-700, etc are a good buy for your money. This 'cybershot' series is specially made for new users & photography lovers. This camera is very simple in use, as well as it also has all the complex features which you can configure according to your need. There are many inbuilt mode for various types of photography. The best thing is that this model has a very powerful flash, which is rare in such kind of small & light-weighted digital cameras. Also the wide-view capturing of this model is one of the best, which is available only in higher price range cameras of other brands. This model has the capacity to use 100-ASA to 1000-ASA modes, which is very useful when you want to capture speed object photographs like racing cars, running animals etc.


One more thing is that this model has many modes to capture & store the photos - from VGA mode to 6 megapixel mode. The only drawback is that its optical zoom is not that much - only 3x, but is quite enough for hobby photography. And the internal memory in this camera is just 32MB, which is quite less, so you have to purchase a external memory card(which comes cheap now a days).


Hence overall to say, this is considered as a best buy for your money & recently the prices have also come down for these series models. I would recommend this to new users who want to shift from their colour-film camera to a digital one.


Amazing lens, Spectacular photos, easy to use
Nov 10, 2008 10:07 AM 12245 Views

The Sony DSC-H50 Cybershot camera has generated significant interest in the photographic community for a number of reasons. First, there is the ever-present hope that this new model may move us closer to that "gold standard" camera of our imagination, the point-and-shoot camera that rivals DSLR performance in terms of picture quality, containing a single lens that spans all the way from a true wide-angle to high telephoto range, with good overall performance, customizable features, and low weight. Then, there is the large, bright, and articulated screen that so many photographers desire, yet is strikingly absent from most recent models. And, of course, there is the interest always garnered in the technology upgrades that new models typically possess, such as support for ever-larger memory cards, more sophisticated processor algorithms, and improved photographic features that help make everyday photo-taking easier and more successful.


After owning this camera for a few days, I can report that from the usability standpoint, the DSC-H50 is a gem. The camera is lightweight, easy to hold, and has a comfortable grip. Sony's implementation of a bright, clear, articulating 3-inch LCD screen makes the camera particularly easy to use, and only a short time using the camera is required to find that the camera's shape "works." Controls are laid out in clear, easy to understand manner, and users of previous Cybershot models will recognize the trademark Sony approach to controls on point and shoot cameras. A new, self-explanatory menu system explains each menu option, and the system is mastered in short time. The camera feels solid and well-built in spite of its light 15-oz. weight. Beyond the normal rotary knob that places the camera in its various modes, a number of dedicated buttons control image playback, burst mode, slideshow mode, and "night shot" mode.


Picture quality also appears to be generally good. The DSC-H50 may be of interest to more demanding photographers who are looking for a secondary camera when not wishing to lug around a full set of lenses and a DSLR, albeit with a necessary amount of post processing to remove sensor noise and the chromatic aberration that appears in some shots. Macro performance is excellent, and the "Steady Shot" technology appears to work well. It is important to remember that this camera, though having a full 15x telephoto lens, is not a "true" wide-angle lens, with the wide end only reaching 31mm. Nevertheless, this is wider than most point and shoot cameras, with only a very few select models reaching the 28mm width so usefulfor landscape and close-up group shots. The DSC-H50 is a coated Zeiss Vario-Tessar, and seems well suited to take high-quality shots, as long as one understands the limitations of the unit.


The camera is designed to make general point and shoot photography very easy, and the camera certainly meets those goals. There is automatic scene detection, face detection, ISO detection, and many other features that will appeal to the typical home user. When shooting in automatic mode, the camera produces good quality images that will satisfy the average user. From my preliminary results, it looks as though the DSC-H50 will make happy a large number of users who are looking for this type of a camera.


There are also a few other unusual "plusses" for this camera. First, the camera comes standard with a wireless remote control, which is almost unheard of. And the remote control is not a simple shutter release control: you can do almost anything you can do by holding the camera, including using the menus, with this remote. Next, the camera comes standard with a lens adapter, which in the past has been a$30 or$40 accessory necessary if you wish to use add-on lenses. Further, both a wide-angle and an additional telephoto lens are available for the camera. And last, but certainly not least, Sony has finally adopted a small and lightweight battery charger that does not use the cable-and-brick approach, but rather, plugs directly into a wall socket. All of these are welcome additions to the camera.


PROS




  • Very good optical lens range, from somewhat-wide(31mm) to 15x zoom(465mm)




  • Generally good image quality




  • Excellent macro performance




  • Effective image stabilization




  • Outstanding, pivoting 3" LCD screen




  • Feels solid and well-built




  • Lightweight




  • Good ergonomics




  • Full set of customizable photographic settings




  • Extrememly bright flash(strongest I've seen on a point-and-shoot)




  • Intuitive, redesigned user interface/menu system with descriptions




  • Can use up to 16Gb Memory Stick Duo




  • Very easy to use, even for novice users




  • Comes with remote control and other accessories




  • Both super zoom lens and wide-angle lens are available accessories






CONS




  • Not quite wide-enough short end(only 31mm, not 28mm)




  • Small sensor makes noise both inevitable and present, even at low ISO levels(noise reduction can be adjusted in-camera)




  • Chromatic aberration/purple fringing under certain conditions




  • No true HD video(compare Panasonic DMC-TZ5)




  • No RAW mode(but commonly missing now in "bridge" cameras)




  • Camera carrying case not included




  • Can turn camera on with lens cap in place, allowing lens to push into lens cap; lens cap also pops off occasioanlly






Main issue:


What really bothers me about this camera is that Sony made the accompanying ring/hood in a non-standard size(74mm). The newer flared end design of the filter ring is an improvement over the old ring, since it means no lens vignetting at wider angles, but it seriously irritates me that Sony couldn't have made the opening to fit a standard 72mm filter. This means that the reasonably priced Hoya or Tiffen filters will not fit, and that you must buy the costly Sony brand if you want a filter on your camera. I tried the inferior quality 74mm Opteka filters(apparently hastily made just for Sony), and the polarizer came apart while I was cleaning it to put on the camera. Faced with the prospect of buying pricey, odd-sized Sony filters for a point and shoot camera, especially when indications are they may not fit future models, I managed to find a off-brand 74-72mm step down ring(made by Bower for Sony products), which is supposed to fit the Hoya filters I just ordered . The$120(6000 INR) Sony telephoto extension I bought for my DSC-H2 camera a year and a half ago is completely useless for the DSC-H50, which is a further irritation.


In spie of some minor issues this lightweight camera with loads of features, generally good picture quality, and aggressive pricing makes the DSC-H50 appear to have hit all the major marks quite well, particularly for the average user who wants to shoot decent pictures with little effort.

My search for prosumer camera ended with this
Nov 09, 2008 03:33 PM 5892 Views

I bought this camera 4 months back & I am completely satisfied about its results & proud of my right choice of the device.


Its almost professional device with 15 x digital zoom and 9.1 mega pixel quality. It has 35mm equivalent 31 - 465 mm, Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens and is provided with adapter for additional lens hoisting. Its great feature, which other devices don't possess, include rotating digital display. The camera is handy and easy to carry. There are several digital features like anti blur technique, image stabilisation, smile detection, night photography etc which enhances the quality of the picture.


Only problem with this device, I feel, is its flash whose location is above lense. Its location is such that if additional lense is put to it then flash lihgt may be obstructed.


Results in outdoor n indoor are such that snaps appear to be taken from SLR. I give full marks to Sony for making this almost professional camera.


Cheers.

Get excellency of your unforgettable moments
Nov 08, 2008 09:26 PM 4496 Views

This product is nothing but gives you amazing quality scene of your unforgettable moments. I had a some snaps taken from this camera are true scenary pictures as what they are at the time of clicking. Photos taken at the picnic time will remembers you all the enjoyment that you have enjoyed in the picnic.However, all of the other results (chromatic aberration, distortion, and falloff) should be directly comparable regardless of the camera body used, and I’d stress that these are equally as important as sharpness in evaluating the overall performance of a lens.


I really see the difference between lenses if I don’t print large or pixel peep. We can measure the sharpness across the four diagonals of the frame, before averaging the results for the final data. This shows us whether there is any significant asymmetry, which is a good predictor for whether we have a 'good' or 'bad' copy.


Great zoom with this Camera
Nov 06, 2008 12:53 PM 4912 Views

Sony H10 Digital Camera has a 10X optical zoom which is its best feature and is Approx 9M Pixels.


The price is rightly set, however the battery life is annoyingly low, so try an get an extra battery. It can take great pictures even at night, and is great for people who would want to have some basic features of DSLR , even if its not for being a professional photographer.


Its affordable as compared to the DSLR's and you could still get some great features.


Look out for promotions from SONY to buy this camera to get free SWD Course, and get the basic traing to make the best use of your camera.


Its a little heavier and biggest than the other compact cameras, however its due to its DSAL look and feel, as well as for the big zoom. You can also take long videos without cutting in screens with its features.

Good Quality PICS
Nov 04, 2008 09:11 PM 4271 Views

Sony W70 is a very responsive-feeling camera: Pressing the Power button on top of the body produces a swift reaction: The LCD comes on, the camera chimes, and the lens assembly bursts out of its silo quickly, letting the camera snap its first picture only 1.7 seconds after being turned on. A half-press on the shutter begins the focus operation. In low light, a bright orange LED illuminates the scene when necessary, so low-light focus isn't a worry (at least on nearby objects that can be illuminated by the AF-assist light).


The fast Multi-point AF determines the closest object and focuses quickly, showing brackets around the areas that will be in focus. Shutter lag (the delay between pressing the shutter button and the camera taking the picture) is lower than that of most cameras on the market, with a range of 0.28-0.55 second. Everything about the camera feels like quality and performs competently. Included with the camera is a Sony LiIon rechargeable battery pack and charger, which has a pretty good battery life.


I still suggest purchasing a backup battery pack, and keeping it freshly charged and on-hand for extended outings, but the W70's battery life is very good by any standard. The camera's internal 58 megabytes of memory will hold a few shots, but here again, I'd recommend picking up at least a 128-megabyte Memory Stick Duo card, or a Memory Stick PRO Duo card for the Fine quality movie recording mode.

I love it
Nov 02, 2008 09:05 AM 2523 Views

Very good digital cam to have. I bought this 6 months back, and no complains


Its very stylish, sexy and slim in looking and more better in quality. Flash(both power and range) is also very powerful + so many functions to play with. Has very good zoom + very small so we can keep it in pocket, no need to carry extra bag for this)


I have black color of this model. There are more colors like pink, gray but I like the black most so opted for this. One problem I face sometimes is that sometimes photo comes blur. I think that is becoz of wrong handling of cam and I have got memory stick of 256 mb for free. So I just take the snaps and tranfers to my system. I think its enough for me..


While video recording it has good resolution, but one cons is that we cant zoom while recording is going on. we can adjust this before starting, but not in the middle, I think this is the option that should be corrected. But as a digital cam, for still photos its the best.


Otherwise, all is best.

This device is the part & parcel of my life after I purchased this. The pics taken by this digicam are awesome & no words in the dictionary can describe its quality. What really I like is its simple user interface despite its internal complicated mechanism which a layman like me can't comprehend.


I highly recommend this obsolete-proof camera to everyone.

I gave it a 9 rating b/c I found it to be better than expected. when I


saw lori grunin's rating I had to try it out at the store. First off,


the viewfinder is fairly centered when you use it for snap shots, and


it's great when you want to lengthen the life of your battery by at


least 4x. I do admit the zoom controls were a bit awkward, however,


after using them so much I found that they were placed in the right


spot and after zoom, taking a pic was a cinch. the lcd is great(only


two settings, normal and bright) in the room, but on a bright day with


sun reflection, it's a bit difficult to see, but what camera lcd isnt


hard to see unless it's actually a viewfinder lcd? the auto shoot mode


is great as well as its active subject tracking(focus area folows the


subject you plan to picture). the beach and landscape modes seem to be


fairly similar, when I was on a plane, both seemed to be the same(the


beach mode is supposed to give more depth at blue colors). I had a


chance to use the manual aperture mode. as some would say that it is


insufficient- well i'd agree if I were a professional. however, since


i'm an enthusiast and a crazed tehcie, I find that the iso settings are


exceptional for the price that I paid(~$310@bestbuy) my proof is found


within fireworks pictures from 4th of july. they turned out fantastic


with little to no noise in the'black' area of the picture. in the


cnet.com review it was mentioned that the small buttons on the back of


the camera were too small and that you couldn't press the settings or


mode that you wanted with precision- that is seriously not an issue b/c


it is an ultra compact model and the canon elphs, casio's and nikons


(which i've been able to try as well) have similar setups. if you


really feel that buttons pressing precision is your thing, go buy a


disposable 35mm camera: 2 buttons, picture capture and flash


I found that if you are a sony consumer, this is one toy that you'll


enjoy having. due to it's duo memory stick, its compatible with many


other sony products, psp, laptops, tvs, etc. the casing is fairly


sturdy, however there are two things that may become a problem in about


5 years of constant use: the battery cover(can easily open) and the ac


power slot cover may break off(due to the small rubber piece holding


it to the camera). power up and power down of the lens . I believe


it's 1.5 sec or faster.and camera is quick. having the ability to see


your pics via slideshow is great when you want to delete pics for quick


space, or show friends when they bug you for a glimpse, or to pick out


the picture among hundreds you've already taken(with a 2gb duo stick)


and alter it right on the camera. sony is a great choice for those who


like easy menus and great quality products. the menu is nearly the same


as one of the early sony cameras I used to use, sony p5. to give you a


backgroun d on the cameras i've owned and used here they are. sony:


p5, p9, p150, v1 and w100. minolta dimage f100, canon powershot g2, and


currently checking out nikon 7900 and the L series. as you can see I


like my cameras to last and if you get this w100, the 8.1mp sensor will


last for several years to come and you won't have to replace it for a


newer digicam. btw, this is a phenomenal camera for what it was worth

Review of sony cybershot camera
Oct 31, 2008 10:28 AM 1617 Views

I am not a professional photographer but I was always interested to buy a good cam which is worth enough to be used for atleast 5 yrs without any upgrades.If u really want an out n out camera that can do u whatever u want , I would suggest you to purchase this one.it has got the perfect value fr the value and leavin thst it got a very good brand name behind it. Just go out for it.


This is indeed a very good camera. The picture quality is mind blowing. So go ahead grab this camera. The features are excellent. Even a first time user can use it with ease & click good snaps.


A whopping 8.1 MP gives wonderful pictures with amzaing clarity and colour contrast.Though its a well known fact that any Cam above 5.1 - 10.1 MP gives almost same clarity, but I differ in this.I have tried 5.1 and 8.1. I loved 8.1.It can help you take prints upto B3 size without compromising the clarity.

Sony is best
Oct 31, 2008 10:21 AM 1670 Views

I have a Sonny cybershot DSC-W100.1mega pixels and I am having a terrible time taking action pictures. Moving animals ect. When I set it to take moving pics the amt of light is very low. I had much better pic results with my hp and this sony is supposed to be a better camera. What am I doing wrong. Ziggy.I am always the sony fan , I am using in this company products like camera , mobile, TV, washing machine. This is very nice to using and handle simply and this most better than other.


My family are like sony products. Most of my friends are using like this company product.. Its good performing product and long life worth to using. We want more different type of compact product...Sony includes their brand new Cyber-shot Viewer software with the DSC-W100. This software replaces the not-so-great picturepackage software, and it's about time.


Unfortunately, Cyber-shot Viewer isn't as powerful as Olympus Master and similar products, and there's still no Mac version to be found.*

Well, I bought the Sony w55 before a couple of years, I found it good with the 7.1 mp and well suitable for the family pics and all , but could not capture the nature nicely in it, as the zoom is less and at times blurred images with the red eye at nice is for sure , although now I m thinking to upgrade to fujifilm about which I have got just the amazing reviews with the super zoom and not much costly than this.


I recommend this for jus the home or family use . one can say a good buy but now many other products of kodak and nikon which are far better than this are avaliable at the price much lesser.


In the night the pictures are not much clear as I was expecting but in good light its good , moreover the shutter speed is nice but battery is the problem cant go much more shots in 1 go. The flash is also a bit low , which cant make the possible things done.


Almost professional camera
Oct 30, 2008 02:11 PM 7101 Views

This is almost as good as a DSLR, but has the advantage of a compact camera viz. easier to carry and take to functions. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. I like to take some unusual kinds of pictures, and have found that this is a great camera for that. You can take pictures with subjects as close as 1 cm in macro mode.


The lens is also great. It has farily good aperture bracket for this camera class. You can see a bluish tinge when you take pictures in bright sunlight, but probably a sky light filter like the VF-74MP might fix it(I haven't tried it yet). The zoom level and quality at telephoto is also pleasing. Plus you have good anti-stabilization.


The viewfinder is large, and you can tilt it up or down. That's great too! That has helped me take some great shots in crowded places, when I had to hold the camera high. The colour and brightness are also good. And you have many preview modes. The histogram mode helps you analyze the brightness levels of the scene if you have control over the lighting conditions.


The startup time of 2 second lets you take photos almost as soon as you turn the camera on. If you see something interesting, and you've taken the camera out of the bag, within 2.5 seconds, you have a picture! Great for candid pictures. The controls are also quite easy to use, with most used features accessible easily. The "easy" shooting mode is good for beginners and in times when you just want a quick picture. There is nothing in the screen cluttering the image(except the number of remaining shots). Now if you want your grandma to take a picture, just give it to her, and ask her to point and shoot. No getting confused, no explaining the controls(except of course, the shutter button).


Other candidates I were considering were Olympus SP 560 UZ, which is cheaper than this and has 18x zoom. Comparing them, Olympus uses AA cells(which are easily available in case of emergencies), has more zoom, has ISO upto 6400(this has 3200), 8.1Mpix. But DHC H50 wins because it has faster shutter speed(1/4000 against Olympus' 1/2000) and aperture upto f/8(against f/4.5 of Olympus') and remote!


That takes me to the remote control - Its good for taking pictures of a group with you included. Put the cam in timer mode, press the shutter button on the remote, keep the remote in your pocket and wait.


Haven't used the in-camera retouch yet, because I use The GIMP to edit photos.


The only drawback I've felt is that I cannot attach an extra flash unit. I would really like to attach a bigger flash to take better party pictures at night. Other than that, I've never felt any problem with the camera.


Overall, great for beginners as well as experts. Almost a DSLR(but not), and a great buy.
