Rated 2 out of 5

Too difficult to hold

I was hoping this camera would work as a lightweight camera when I didn't want to carry around my large digital camera and lenses. I found it very difficult to shoot a clear photo. Also, the shutter release is too small and not like other point and shoot digitals that I have looked at.

Best choice in point n shoot

Had this cam for a week, the screen size is great and it takes wonderful shots. One of the best feature is that Sony added the choice of Memory Stick and SDHC. I can now use an SD card then place it right into my laptop without using a usb card reader. Love the ability to use manual options like ISO, WB .... great camera.

Take impressive, 14.1-megapixel photos with this compact digital camera. The DSC-W370 captures amazingly detailed images with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 34mm equivalent wide angle 7x zoom lens. Reviewing your shots is easy on the 3.0" LCD (diag.) and advanced features including Easy mode, iAuto and SteadyShot image stabilization eliminate the guesswork in tricky lighting environments. There's also awe-inspiring 243-degree Sweep Panorama mode and 720p HD movies. For displaying pics in breathtaking HD, use the built-in HDMI output (cable sold separately).
