FEATURED REVIEWS
DEFINATELY WONDERFUL!!!!!
First i had a kodak v1003 but the screen blacked out. then i went right back to kodak, with a kodak v1073. it was great but the zoom control button broke twice within a year!!:( well, i figured i'd try something else...thank you sony!!! i luv my camera so far! the only things are with the partial color feature, i was expecting it to outline the subject better, but for some things it still works. also, the screen is a little bit too glossy which makes it get dirty so much easier and with me......

Great camera
I bought this camera because it was a cheap and the best digital camera I can find. I also bought this because all the camcoders are like $700, and I'm not paying that kind of money, that's insane. Definetly not as good as I thought it was going to be. So I would definetly recommend this to everyone!!!
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.
