My son and I love this camera so much that I went out and bought him his own so that we don't fight over the use of this one. His will be a Christmas present, as was mine, his will be the DSC W330 model. Can't wait to play with that one!

I've had this product for at least 6 months and can honestly say I have taken thousands of pictures. Possibly as many as 5,000 photos. I gave up a perfectly good Sony 7.2 MP Cybershot with clear...CLEAR pictures and now have a 12.3 that takes 50% well photos and about 25% crystal clear photos and 25% just flat out horrible photos. Yes, the photos are LARGE but thank you Photoshop for fixing most of the well photos into some very fine looking keepers. I also purchased another battery at a Sony store due to the short life of the original one. I wish Sony could also figure out how to attach a macro lens so that I might try longer distance shots. Now, I'm in the process of getting a Sony DSLR-A330 for the close ups I want to take with blurred backgrounds vice blurred entire photos. Not operator error, either. The photo attached has been Photoshopped because the original color and clarity was flat.

I simply fall in love for this camera. I don't want to name any brand, but I had quite a bad experience with many brands. While buying this camera, I had couple of doubts. But now I am soooooooo happy with it. I am not a professional photographer, but the pictures taken with this camera make me feel so. What an amazing experience, my long-time desire to take great quality picture has now become the reality. I am truly happy. Believe me, I am not promoting anything, or not any way related to Sony, but giving you my neutral feedback. Just go for it, you will fall in love again and again. BTW, I bought the camera yesterday only, so hoping to discover more and more great features about it. Cheers.

This, personally, meets all my expectations. I recommend that, if you want a nice, great camera, that you buy this camera! Don't waste your money buying non-Sony cameras. Don't even spend to much on later models of the DSC series. This one is perfect! It takes wonderful pictures, has a big LCD screen, is the perfect size, and has amazing features. I really suggest that you buy this camera. Even though I am new to whoever is reading this (you), TRUST ME!

Takes great pictures and has a amazing, bright, and easy to see screen. The zoom is great and the pictures come out very clear and show up good on a T.V. The picture software is outstanding and the pictures have great resloution on the computer. Overall the camera is outstanding and takes great and very clear photos and has good video recording.

The Sony W230's 1/2.3" SuperHAD CCD image sensor with 12.1 megapixel resolution coupled to a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar branded 4x optical zoom lens offers equivalent focal lengths, range from 30 to 120mm, while the maximum aperture varies from f/2.8 to f/5.8 across the zoom range. Macro focusing will be possible down to a minimum of four centimeters. The W230 will forgo any optical viewfinder in favor of a 3.0" LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution - just a little bigger than the 2.7" LCD of the W220, although the dot count is identical.
The Sony Cyber-Shot W230 will offer ISO sensitivity ranging from 100 to 3,200 equivalent and will include both true mechanical image stabilization, as well as Digital Image Stabilization which functions by raising the camera's sensitivity (and along with it, the noise levels) so as to achieve a higher shutter speed and reduce motion blurring. The Sony W230 will also include face detection capable of differentiating between children and adults and will take into account the locations of detected faces when calculating autoexposure and autofocus variables.
The Sony Cyber-Shot W230 will feature in-camera retouching capabilities, with soft focus, fish eye effect, cross filter, partial color, retro, radiation, red-eye correction, trimming, unsharp masking and smile effects being on offer.
