Sony Cybershot DSCW300 13.6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot: Customer Reviews & Product Details

We test drove the camera on a trip to New York the pictures came out really well. Only problem is the LCD at the back gets grubby with finger prints but what camera these days doesn't.
My favorite feature is that any of the menu options come with a short blurb as you change them, no need to memorize the symbol or the manual.

After a lot of research on portable cameras, I decided to go with the W300. Had considered the W290 due to 5x zoom versus 3x for the W300. However, the W300 has a larger sessor and is much thinner with a Titanium coated shell. Picture quality is better on the W300 than the W290 based on shots I've seen but you lose the wide angle ability which can be a plus. Net net I went with the higher priced W300. The only problem I have is the battery/memory door cover seems a little loose. Had checked out three other W300's and they are all loose. Morover, on some of the W300's the top chrome bar is loose on one side. I rate this camera a 4 instead of a 5 due to build quality. If you hold the camera using the bottom edge, the door can even open up while shooting if you are not consious of that possibility. Is yours also loose?

This camera is everything I thought it would be from reading the reviews. It's sturdy, which is a plus for me because I broke the last camera I had. It's great for amateurs and professionals alike. The in camera editing is great, I recently went to a wedding and was able to edit my pictures right inside the camera with great results. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a higher end camera that won't break the bank.

I had a dsc-90 stolen, so I thought I would upgrade a bit. This camera is much better than my old one! Just be careful when ordering a memory card. I ordered a 8G card online, and found out it didn't fit. You can only buy SONY cards! Nice pics...nice camera

great image camera is a good comfortable size and weight. excellent features
