I have an older Cannon that uses 4 AA batteries, it's heavy. This Sony is so light it fits in a shirt pocket and I forget it's there. It has lots of features that one can access digitally, the Cannon has a dial that has to be pre-set. Only drawback is that the On/Off switch is slightly recessed and is a bit difficult to operate, the shutter control must be pressed in just the right way or it will not work. I placed a small piece of plastic on the shutter control to raise the surface and that has been a big help. The pictures, both still and video, are excellent. Suggestions: Get a piece of special plastic to cover the screen and protect it from scratches. Also only use the official Sony battery!
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330 is a quick and good camera for stationary objects. The power on to first shot time is 1.8 seconds. The shot-to-shot time is 2.6 seconds and 3.6 seconds with flash. The continuous shooting speed is 1.1fps (frames per second). The shutter lag is 0.4 second for bright light and 0.7 second in dim light. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330 delivers passable photo quality; however, still it depends upon your choice. At all ISO levels, the graininess and noise is visible while viewing the images at full size. The photo quality is good at ISO 200. However, there is a loss in fine details and definition lacks at higher ISO levels. The photos are usable in small sizes up to ISO 800. The colors are shifting with combined noise and its reduction on high ISO levels that result in poor photo quality. ISO 1600 or 3200 will give you really poor quality photos. The images captured by 14-megapixel camera cannot be cropped too much for large printouts. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330 delivers soft images that has lacks in fine detail while viewing at full size. The digital camera can create 45×60 inches photographs; still Sony recommends print outs up to 13×19 inches. Sony keeps barrel distortion in check for wide-angle lens. There is no pin-cushioning even at fully extended lens. However, there is passable amount of purple fringe but that is not unexpected in cameras of this class. The center sharpness is relatively good on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330, but subjects on the side corners are visibly softer.Read full review
I really like this camera. It has great quality pictures, the interface is very user friendly and easy to use, and the screen is pretty big so it's easy to see what's being captured. I love the smile detection technology in the camera and it manages to get great pictures almost every time. If you are trying to take someone's picture that doesn't really like to smile, this camera can definitely capture the moment that they do smile. It's also great for scenic pictures too. It does have a video camera, but it's main purpose is to take pictures. The only downside to taking videos is that you cannot zoom. The battery life is pretty good and it uses memory cards in SD or the Pro Duo kind as well i believe. If you are looking for a great digital camera, you won't be dissapointed.
I bought this camera, because the price was right ($120 gently used with all accessories except for a memory card) and we are expecting a new baby soon. I had a small cybershot a couple of years ago, and it was a great pocket cam that took wonderful pictures. I am not a professional photographer, so I don't need all the extra features, and from the reviews that I read online before purchasing, some might find it lacking in features. But for me, the biggest concern was picture quality. I was very impressed with it in that regard, as well as the smile and face detector. The clarity of the pictures is impeccable, and the camera itself is sleek! I also like the huge LCD screen and the ease of use. After a day or 2, I am completely familiar with camera options. Overall it is a good camera, if you are just taking candid pics or even pics for a job (like ebay or appraisal) and don't need a lot of different features. It gets the job done with finesse.Read full review
The camera is extremely light weight and practical, it can fit easily into a pocket or purse. The picture quality is unmatched by any camera in the same price range. It has lots of easy to use features and clear instructions. I highly recommend this product and the insurance that goes along with it, 3 years full coverage for around $30. You just can't beat it.
