Sony DSCW800B.CEH Digital Compact Camera (20.1 MP, 5x Zoom, 2.7 LCD, 720p HD, 26 mm Sony G Lens) - Black

I bought this camera a little over a year ago (not through Amazon, but for no particular reason). I wanted a lightweight camera that takes good photos and this is it! I love that I don't have to remove the battery in order to charge it. I'm usually surprised with how good the quality of the photos is. The battery lasts a really long time for me. I hardly ever have to charge it, even if I leave the camera to sit for long periods of time.Everything about the controls are fairly self-explanatory. I feel lucky to have such a good little camera at the price (~$80 when I purchased it).I have a pricier camera for paid work and my own art work. This one is great though for having along on a fun day with friends and being able to relax that I'm not going to destroy or lose my expensive camera.The only thing that bugs me sometimes but isn't enough to lose a star from my review is that I find it rather easy to -almost- accidentally delete photos when scrolling through them. Luckily the camera does ask first to confirm, and the button to confirm the delete isn't easy to press by accident.Thanks, Sony, for a great product!!!

My last cheap digital camera was a Sony and it lasted for years. This has a larger screen, which is slightly grainy, but once loaded on the computer the photos are superb. There are a number of options on the menu to increase quality to maximum. For me, it is ideal for general shots for keeping in touch with family and friends on Facebook. Very lightweight. The macro function is automatic. Had no trouble in low lighting, and the flash seems well distributed giving a nice overall shot. You have to disconnect a lead from the charger to download onto your computer, and you must also download Sony's own downloading programme (which is a bit basic) as per the instructions given. The video aspect is fairly good for general purposes. Does not come with a memory card or protective bag. I used the old memory card from my previous camera. A quality pocket camera which delivers what you'd expect for the price.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my mother, who was previously using her iPad to take photographs (much to the annoyance of fellow human beings across the planet). She was becoming increasingly irate with the poor quality of her iPad photographs and complaining about the mysterious red line that appeared on every single photo (this was her red leather iPad cover partially obscuring the lens). Anyway, all iPad based woes are now long forgotten as she has this handy little camera instead. She required assistance to set the time, date and language though my mother requires assistance in telling the difference between a telephone and a TV remote so I wouldn't worry too much about that. The photo quality is good, it's stylish, lightweight, sturdy and easy to use.

I was looking for a new digital camera to take with me on journeys, and this seemed to fit the bill!Pros:Great for outdoors, photos are very crisp and vibrant.Small and compact, easy to take out and about.Easy to function, and no complicated menus/buttons to worry about, just press and go.Easy to transfer images from the camera to my PC.Cons:The battery life could be better, I find myself charging it a lot after not using it for a while.The camera quality isn't as great indoors/with artificial light.I find myself not using the zoom function a lot as it diminishes the quality of the photo.All in all, it's a good camera for the price you pay.You are not going to get a better camera unless you up your price range a lot.

Delivery took less than 24 hours. An ideal camera for the technophobe you just point and click for excellent results and the high resolution 20Mb means that you can blow up small portions without losing definition. Although when I installed one SD card the camera had difficulty recognising it but was OK with a new 8G card bought separately but then after only a few hours when it was turned on it tried to focus and was unable to close the lens and jammed !! but I contacted Amazon and they've arranged a replacement - I hope the new one will be trouble free and the original was a one-off faulty camera. The service from Amazon was first class - the replacement arrived within 24 hours and so far it's working perfectly.Update 4th Dec 2016 : No problems at all so the initial glitch with the faulty camera was a one off problem. The replacement has been perfect.
