Sony Cybershot W50 - Reviewed
The new Sony Cybershot W50 digital camera combines high-resolution 6.0 MP performance & a compact design with the appeal of traditional rangefinder shooting. Both first time buyers & step-up photography enthusiasts will have a camera that's equally adept at saving their memories & capturing their photographical vision.
The Sony Cybershot W50 combines a sleek metal body and compact design with new high-tech features for image quality and operating convenience. Super-sharp 6.0-megapixel resolution delivers more detail when you're cropping or making larger prints. Boasting a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) which combines to produce sharp images even in low-light conditions. Sony's Clear RAW NR processing also minimizes the noise distortion of high-sensitivity shots.
The extra-large 2.5-inch LCD screen of the W50 not only gives you a big, bright image for setting up shots and checking results, it also displays a convenient camera Function Guide, with text and icons for easy-to-operate features like color and brightness adjustments, image size, flash & self-timer modes and more. The Sony Cybershot W50 even provides an eye-level viewfinder for traditional shooting. You won’t find this in many modern digital compacts. Despite its compact size, the W50 incorporates shooting features every digital photographer wants. It has a 32 MB Internal Memory for capturing images without a flash memory card and a built in slot for optional Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO Duo media.
As seems to be the case with most Sony digital cameras, the user-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text & icon display help you set up camera functions for your shots with ease. In our opinion, one of the best features on Sony’s cameras is the powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries, the DSC-W50 can capture up to 390 images, which is easily enough for a whole vacation without the worry of having to change to a fresh set! The compact BC-CSG battery charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.
As far as Sony digital cameras go, the Sony CyberShot DSC-W50 sports many of the features found throughout the Sony range, however, Sony have really put effort into finding a balance between the internal features that photographers benefit from without over complicating things too much. A job well done with this model!
