Out door superb pictures.Flash is located in right place and no disturbance while taking pictures. Very speedy in capturing photos. I can observe the significant difference in capture in speed with cyber-shot w560 camera which is my old camera.

Good Camera - I would recommend it

The manual should have more instructions on its usage. Although the CD contains more info, however, everyone is not computer savvy. New photographers need some time to understand its controls and their use. A good camera for those who are familiar with cameras. Over all I am happy and would recommend this camera to others.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-WX9 16.2 Megapixel Digital Camera, 5x Optical Zoom, 3D Sweep Panorama, Black Features

  • The DSC-WX9 features a 16.2 megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain
  • Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities4. Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way
  • Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best elements of each into a single image for more natural looking shots
  • Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality
  • The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports and travel photos and Close Focus shoots close-ups up to just under 1/2" from the subject
  • A wide angle of 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces
  • Sony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends
  • In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD
  • The high definition, AVCHD, video captured with the DSC-WX9 can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software1 for PC and iMovie (sold separately) for Mac systems
  • 3.0" (920K) XtraFine technology gives you brilliant-quality still images and movies with easy focus
  • With iSweep Panorama just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a panoramic image. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion
  • Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot
  • Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot
  • HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc player, a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV)
  • Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces
  • When set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-WX9 captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of traditional cameras
  • Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort and view your video and still images on your compatible PC
  • Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD . This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV
  • DSLR photographs are beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Sony's point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes 2 shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear
  • Capturing the right shot at the right moment has never been so easy. Digital zoom brings the action up close to get that perfect shot, every time
  • Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images
  • Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity
  • When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot
  • TransferJet technology allows you to transfer up to ten files between two TransferJet enabled devices just by touching their TransferJet logos together, without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of pairing
  • With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software the DSC-WX9 makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites without the need for any additional software or install
