 An outstanding pocket camera November 26, 2008

I bought the Sony DSC-W80 on clearance from Compusa 9 months ago. I had went in hoping to score a Canon SD-1000, but the DSC-W80 was on of the alternates I was considering and the price was right. Right after I bought, I found out my sister in law went into labor and my niece was going to be born that evening. Needless to say the camera got a work out right then. First off, in low light situations, especially without the flash, the images will get really grainy. My understanding is that this is because to make these cameras so small, the photosensor is very small as well, which means it won't work as well in a low light environment, if this concerns you, step up to a slightly large point and shoot digital camera, it won't be pocket sized, but you'll get better low light images.
I was able to get great photo's and videos of my nieces birth with a 1gb memory stick installed, but I did notice the low light issue, again, that's the trade off for a camera this small, so I can live with it. Since then, I carry this camera with me all of the time, and it works great, I can usually get by with charging the battery once a week, and downloading the photos off at the same time. The thing takes outstanding photo's, I use it at the highest resolution for photo's and they are very sharp. When I'm shooting movies, I use standard quality, and get a decent balance between image quality and file size, the built in mike does a remarkable job picking up audio while shooting videos.
Considering this camera was my second choice it has been a welcome surprise that has done a remarkably good job as a constant carry camera. Now I just need a DSLR....
Another Great Sony Digital Camera! November 24, 2008
The Taminator (The Other Side of the Mirror)
I've had this camera for a year, and all I can say is WOW. This is my third Sony digital camera, and I have never been disappointed with any of them. If you're an amatuer photographer, just looking for something to take pictures for the web, or you want to get good family shots, this is a fantastic little workhorse at a price that will fit almost any budget.
My biggest reason for loving this camera is the double anti-blur technology. The drawback of these newer, lighter cameras is that they are more diffcult to hold steady, and I have always had trouble getting a good, clear shot without shaking a bit anyway. How many times have you taken a dozen shots of the same thing in the hopes of getting one decent, clear picture? You'll never have to take more than one shot again with this camera-- you get crystal clear results *every single time*, even if you purposely wave it around. The 7.1 megapixel images are MORE than plenty to get great printed images (and the video is nothing to sneeze at either!).
Don't be thrown off by images of the camera itself. It's actually very small and lightweight. The battery lasts a long time, but takes a long time to charge (one of my only complaints), and you can get a single memory stick PRO duo in a 1 or 2 gig size at a low price, which will hold LOTS of pictures. I do wish it took a standard SD card. That, and the long battery charging time make this a four star product instead of five for me.
If you're shopping for a digital camera, this is a great choice even though it's been out for at least over a year. However, be sure you also check out the updated model, Sony Cybershot DSCW150 8.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Silver), and compare the features. Overall I still highly recommend this camera!
