atogator13's Full Review: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W5 Digital Camera
This is my first digital camera i have owned. I use ebay alot and wanted something that was easy to use on my pc, but had some good features with it. I am a loyal sony user so i wanted a sony camera so that the memory stick would work with my other sony items.
The price was high for me. I originaly set a $250 limit when i was researching my purchase. I looked at the DCS-S90 first. Then i saw this one and liked the style alot more.
The first feature that got my attention was the huge 2.5" lcd display. This is a big display and very bright for easy viewing. The next thing i noticed was that the case wasn't plastic like alot of digital cameras, but metal. To me this made it a very strong camera. the picture quality is great and it's a breeze to hook it up to the pc. it has a movie mode that i haven't messed with yet, but would be fun, but not a needed feature.
For the money i paid i am happy with it. I sure i could of got just the same amount of features with another brand, but i'm a sony user.
