This camera is overall one of the best values out there right now. It is a fast focusing camera that has great automatic features such as face detection and the smile shutter mode which takes a picture when a person smiles. This camera is very compact, light, and includes a big LCD screen with a nice optical viewfinder for those moments when its hard to use the LCD due to the light it emits or Sun. The picture and video quality is stunning, with a 5x zoom allowing you to get real close and vivid colors making photos look vibrant and clean even for those who don't aren't the best at taking photos. I would say that this is a very nice camera but I don't like that Sony didn't include Manual mode for this camera but does include it for the higher end model. Canon allows great controls on their budget cameras and so should Sony. Although the capabilities of this Camera do include plenty of customizable options so it isn't too bad. Bottom line. For around $100 you can have a camera that will be small and take great pictures. What's not to like?Read full review
This is a good camera for snapshots, trips, vacations - but it takes some getting used to. If you're new to digital, and you're not a patient person, you need to take a deep breath before you open the manual. If you're using this camera for snapshots, trips, vacations - it's great. You can just set it on Auto, and not worry about it, then as you get more used to it, work into some of those special settings, like the smile settings or scene selections, etc... It's not the best camera for ebay auction photography...(which is why I bought it...) For me, this was a mistake - I should have bought an SLR. That being said, I've found that I can still make it work pretty good for the auction shots. And, I'll take the Zeiss lens any day.
Pros: Good looking, durable, nice screen, it has a viewfinder (rare for a compact camera these days) and the viewfinder is not bad at all (!!), quick shooting & flash recharge times (with high speed card at least), decent low-light performance (probably helps they didn't cram 14 megapixels into the sensor, 8 mp is just about right for most purposes without getting TOO noisy(6mp is probably perfect), ISO 800 produces printable shots in many cases, ISO 80-200 produce sharp pictures (in good lighting) Cons: Fatter than other compact cameras (i.e., Canon Powershot SD series, Panasonic FX series, several others), no max ISO setting (like on newer Panasonics), low-light performance not as good as that of Panasonic models I've used (FZ7, FX35) yet better than most Canons I've used (SD630, SD600), noise reduction system a little too aggressive at times, flash is either too bright or too dim (you can change the power level for the flash but it doesn't seem to help - when it's too powerful in normal mode, it's too weak in low output mode), High ISO mode is practically useless unless you absolutely NEED to get a shot - shots are very noisy and details wiped out in this mode, EASY and AUTO modes are TOO automatic and have a hard time analyzing a scene (Panasonic and Canon are MUCH better at analyzing and metering scenes in general), high price (280 bucks for this thing?? i got mine off of ebay for 50 bucks with a minor lens retracting issue, but i would never want to spend even 140 for this)Read full review
The sony DSC-W150 is a very good camara, resolution is great and it has a 5X optical zoom, it also takes video. It doesnt come with USB or similar connection in order to connect it directly to the computer (you need to pull of the memory card), it does come with an AV cord and battery charger (it sucks that you have to pull off the battery in order to charge it). It has many capture options (you can use the flash in all of the though). For the price and funtionality i would say its a very good deal, i doubt you will find something better for a lower price (i paid 165 for it).
The W150 camera features a new intelligent scene recognition (iSCN) technology, which allows the camera to automatically select the optimal scene mode for a variety shooting situations. In advanced iSCN mode, the camera will take a photo based on the user’s settings. If the camera determines that another setting would yield better exposure, it will automatically take a second photo with that setting. The user ultimately has two images to choose from
