I needed a small, excellent digital camera to take on international trips, as I didn't want to pack something heavy or large. I couldn't imagine carrying something large on airplanes, buses and trains. I also needed a camera that takes great pictures. With the Sony Cybershot W330 I get it all. It takes great pictures and it's small. The cool thing is that I don't have to pack a separate video camera. This Sony records very nice videos. Image Quality The pictures are very clear. This Sony has a great zoom on it so I can get the very shot I want. It also has various picture taking settings for a variety of environments. I've taken many pictures in museums that don't allow flash. All of those pictures come out great. Some, I have framed on my walls. Performance Since this is a digital camera, I take multiple pictures just in case I don't get the shot I want. However, most shots turn out wonderfully. With the variety of settings, I can choose how I want my picture to turn out. Plus, there's an in picture editing mode as well. Ease of Use It's a point and shoot camera at its best. It takes great pictures easily. Just choose your setting and press the button! Durability My camera has been lugged around thousands of miles. It's been in freezing weather, heavy humidity and rain, but never gave up. Battery Life The battery lasts all day when taking pictures. When taking videos, it will last about 45 minutes. I always carry an extra just in case. Portability It's a very small camera that fits into most pockets.

I love my Sony Cybershot W330 Digital Camera! I purchased this several years ago to replace another previous model of the same series. I chose the pink color which was so pretty. It's a hot pink which is super cute. I love that this is super small so you can pop it in a pocket or your purse and it doesn't weigh you down or take up a large amount of space. The controls are very simple to use and all the buttons are big enough to use comfortably. The battery/SD card compartment is easy to open and both the battery and SD card are easy to remove. The battery is rechargeable and very small so it doesn't weigh down your camera like AA batteries do. I bought a second battery so I always have one ready in the charger so I can switch them out as soon as the one in the camera gets low. I like that this does pictures and video. It is great to be able to switch from one to the other with just a flick of a switch. The video quality is very good as well. Overall, this is a great little camera and video recorder and I highly recommend it.

I needed a new camera for my honeymoon almost 3 years ago and out of all the cameras this one stood out the most. It was exactly the size I was looking for and I was pleasantly surprised that not only did it come in pink, it was a decent megapixel and even better good price. It has several different picture modes, such as night, landscapes, food, and snow. Offers a blur reduction setting to stabilize if you are shaky when taking photos. White balance options for different light settings. Some other great features are video and my favorite sweep panorama, you press the shutter then sweep across the scene. It's light weight and compact, so easy for traveling. This is a perfect camera, if you are looking for something easy to use, compact, good quality, and best of all fairly priced. I still love using it to this day, especially now that I am a mom. Image Quality Better quality image cameras out there but for the price this is not bad. Durability Seems pretty durable. I have dropped it several times and it holds up ok. I would not want to go making a habit out of it though. Battery Life Battery life could be a little better. I think over time batteries just natural loose their charge.

I received this camera as a gift and could not have asked for more in a lightweight, compact, easy to use camera; I am still learning so I look forward to discovering any special features. Image Quality I have always been happy with the results of my pictures. I hope to do some enlargements soon and I look forward to updating this after doing so. Performance I have used it indoors and outdoors and I have noticed no problems in any settings I have taken pictures. Ease of Use Because it is so easy to use, I have not yet taken time to read the manual. Durability This camera seems to be well constructed. Battery Life The camera has always been ready to use when needed but I always keep a backup battery just in case. Portability This handy little camera is very lightweight and compact; it fits almost anywhere, around your neck on a lanyard, on your wrist with a strap, in a purse, even in a pocket.... but I usually keep mine in a soft case just for added protection.

This is a nice, basic, very affordable little camera to invest in. It takes really nice photos and is very easy to use. The display on this camera is nice and larger than usual. I only wish that you could zoom in and out while taking videos. Image Quality The screen is really nice for taking photos, and the quality of the photos it takes is really amazing. Performance One main thing I love about the picture taking is that it turns on and responds remarkably quick, which is great when capturing photos "in the moment" and not having to say "wait, hold that pose"! Ease of Use This is a camera that is very easy to operate, even for someone who does not know a lot about cameras or photography in general. Battery Life Battery life is great, but I am not happy about the way you have to charge. I really wish that there was a chord to charge with instead of having to remove the battery and charge. Portability It is super light and compact, easy enough to fit into your pocket, I like that!

This is the perfect point and shoot camera. It's small and portable, but takes amazing pictures. It's zoom is effective, and shutter speed is great. It's has a great screen for viewing shots before taking them, and it's easy to delete undesired shots. Image Quality Picture quality is great for a point and shoot camera. The shutter speed is more than adiquate, and the flash works great in low lit areas. It also has several scene settings to help add to the quality of your photo. Performance It takes great photos, let's you adjustthe settings according to your location and lighting. Ease of Use All you have to do is point and press a button to get great shots! It's has a few advanced settings that are also easy to use to enhance your picture taking skills. Durability I have dropped, bumped, and occasionally accidentally tossed this camera. It has proven itself to be durable and hard to break! Battery Life When used/left on for long periods of time, the battery does deplete. I usually keep an extra battery in hand when I know I will be taking pictures over the course of an entire day. Portability It's small and compact. It fits easily in my picket or purse.

I received this camera two years ago as a graduation gift from my mother and father. I loved it when I first received it and I still love it. It is so sleek and thin, easy to carry in a purse or a wristlet wallet, as I often do. It is not bulky at all measures about 3 inches by 2 so it is easy to carry around, plus it is not heavy. I am kind of paranoid about breaking it so I make sure to carry it in a camera sleeve/case, the fact that it is so light feels like it will break easily. It is a 14.1 megapixels and it takes great pictures, very clear and I like the extra features it has. It has auto smile detection for faces, which is nice since it gives you a prettier picture plus it reduces red eye. The flash is amazingly bright. The volume on the video playback sucks, it is VERY low so it is best to play back videos on a computer rather than on the camera itself. The camera battery is not the best though. But considering that I have had it for two years now and is still going strong I think it is a great camera. I just make sure to have an extra battery with me at all times just in case. Overall a good buy. Image Quality Clear pictures, no red eye.

Its easy to carry around without packing a suit case, the price is affordable so you dont have to take out a second mortgage for it. take it to the game, the park, to your best friends party, come home and load your pictures on to any computer. Make photography fun Image Quality a very sharp clear shot that keeps those memorys bright Performance captures moments you dont have time to miss, little bobbie might not score like that again Ease of Use It doesnt take a rocket sientist to figure this one out Durability i have dropped this camera more times than not and it still takes sharp pictures. strong enough to with stand my crazy life Battery Life not bad at all compared to some digital cameras, you don't need to purchase stock in the batteries company Portability lens is auto covered so you don't need a case, convenient pocket size for easy carrying any where you go. slip it right into your back pocket because you never know when your gonna want to snap that next picture

I am a photography inthusiast, and I love this camera. I generally shot with a DSLR and am certainly a fan. That said last christmas my husband decided I needed a point and shoot in my collection, and he choose the sony-Cybershot. I was amased at the image quality-it is actually very compairable to me DSLR's. I would recomend this for anyone looking for a great point and shoot at a great price! Image Quality Most of the images are crisp and clear, the only time I have found this to be untrue is in low light. If the light is bad the images tend to be grainy. That said I have taken photo's with this and enlarged them to 16x20 size with awsome results. As far as point and shoots go-this is a champion. Performance This camera has many fun settings and is always ready to shoot with. It has not disapointed me. Ease of Use All of the settings are very cut and dry making so easy to use that kids can even get nice results. Durability Amazing! This camera has been dropped many times, steped on at least once, and used by my seven year old without ill effects. Not that I would recomend any of that! It is built to last. Battery Life This is my only true complaint, my battery dose not seem to last to long. Infact I find myself charging it after only a couple of uses. Generaly every four days or so. Mind you I take pictures daily. Portability This is so light and compact you can even cary it in your pocket!

This is the best camera I have ever owned. Image Quality Once a person learns how to manipulate all the different settings, it is very good with imaging. Performance The camera is a good performer, and always taken good pictures. Ease of Use Older people not familiar with modern cameras may have to rely on a younger person to show them how to use their camera. Once done, the camera is very easy to use. Durability I accidentally dropped my camera and it came out of it fine. Battery Life Once, the camera sat unused for at least six months, yet the battery still had enough power for the camera to work! Portability Very portable, and small enough to put in a purse or larger pocket (with a cover of course).
