Editorial Review:
The best technologies are packed into the elegantly compact and sturdy titanium casing of Sony's DSC-W300, to give you perfect photography results wherever you are. It has a 13.9 megapixel CCD sensor with a high sensitivity of 3200 ISO, as well as a BIONZ processor for extremely fast response times. In fact, thanks to the EX burst mode function, you can take 5 shots in just 1 second, so you don't need to miss a thing! This CyberShot also has a 3x optical zoom so you can do close ups of distant scenes, and a Super SteadyShot optical stabiliser to compensate for the effects of blur caused by camera shake. You can monitor all your shots on its 2.7-inch LCD screen, which makes focusing even easier. This camera even has a an automatic scene recognition mode, so you don't need to fiddle around with settings to capture that perfect shot of the beach, for example the DSC-W300 will do it for you! The automatic face and smile detection features bring out the best in your portrait and group shots, so everyone will look fabulous in your photos! The concentration of technologies in the Cyber-shot DSC-W300 from Sony will guarantee the best results, time after time.

Superb piece of kit, simple yet amazing I've been testing the camera around for few days since I've had it and its amazing! The camera is built very well, it is light, and very easy to navigate around the features. The quality of the screen is excellent, and the pixels are VERY detailed. The bttery runs out ater around 300 images which is simply AMAZING durability! I am not a camera techno but I know a camera when I use one and this is the best I've held.
Great camera but will it be reliable? I've bought Sony cameras because I believed they had a reputation for reliability, however both this and my previous Sony have both gone faulty within the guarantee period. This camera let me down on a once in a lifetime holiday. Sony are repairing but the memories are lost for ever. My personal experience therefore is that Sony do not make reliable cameras and I would not buy another Sony camera based on this.
Impressive + unbeatable when reunited with its accessories All features work well and very easy to use. Think of a Rolex submariner watch. Elegant enough for boardrooms, parties and tough enough for adventures. (But for diving, make sure it's in its underwater-case). Expect decent quality both from the camera and the pictures it will take. Make sure to use protective stickers on the LCD, so it could last considerably long with its titanium coating. The only negative words should go to the impractical viewfinder. It's just way too tiny to be of any use. The... more info
Great point and shoot compact! This is a great compact camera. It just sits on your palm snugly. The camera looks and feels solid but not too heavy in the pocket. It is also fast and responsive when taking pictures. The quality of the picture is beyond expectation from a point and shoot compact. If you are the regular SLR user but get fed up with the bulky camera then this compact camera would be the great alternative. The viewing LCD is big without the touch screen which is great as the touch screen would eventually get 'tired' and... more info
