NOVICE CAMERA CHICK MEETS THE SONY DSC-W7

by glittergirl777 , Sep 18 '05
Pros: LCD Screen, High Mega pixels, Easy to Focus, Multi burst Function,Modes for Different Situations.
Cons: Takes some effort to understand the Manual in full, Needs Memory Stick, Extra Batteries.
"OH MY GOD..IT'S SO BIG!!!" If you plan on owning a Sony dsc-w7 anytime in the near future, believe me,those words will be echoed back at you each and every time you allow a non dsc-w7 user to snap a photo with your camera. I'm referring of course to ...

Fantastic pics and so small, hey where did it go?!

by pache , Jun 07 '07
Pros: Bright colors, fast shots, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
Cons: Could have used greater than 3X zoom
I bought this camera, because I killed my last SONY digital point and shoot (DSC-P72 3.2 megapixel). Prior to that I shot with a CANON Rebel SLR (film ewww!), but the point is I know "something" about taking pictures, but I could probably fit that ...

Great pocket camera

by mx5 , Feb 05 '06
Pros: Size, not too small, pocketable yet big enough to hold steady, well built.
Cons: A little heavy, red eye reduction slows photo taking.
Purchased used for $400.00 Cdn. with a 256 card to supplement my Nikon D70 SLR. new prices with taxes would have been double in Sept 2005! Sturdy body, quick on, has a view finder and large 2.5 in. LCD display. Lens subtracts into body and has a built ...

Worst experience about Sony Digital Camera
by eopinions6000 ,Nov 17 '06
Pros: Black Spot on the LCD screen
Cons: no more sony products for me and anyone I know.
I paid 380$ at Compusa 2005 thanksgiving. A month ago, the LCD screen showed black spot. I sent for repair, at first, they said they can fixed it and it is under warranty. Later they called me and saying it is not under warranty and I need to pay 180 $ to fix it. They are saying that a sand was in it and was blocking the lens. And they can't open the lens, need to change the new lens. So how does the sand get into the lens if they can't even open it? To me, that is the quality issue. How could the sand get into it? For paying that money for that? I will not recomend any of my friends to buy any more sony products any more.

A Worthwhile Upgrade!
by db999 ,Sep 03 '05
Pros: Speed, Large LCD screen, Video mode at 30fps and 640x480
Cons: Small eyepiece; Memory Stick Pro required; Limited AE Modes
I've recently upgraded from the DSCW5, following some exposure issues and a return / upgrade. The DSCW7 has performed flawlessly and I would highly recommend the camera. The DSCW7 is almost identical to the DSCW5. My complete review, for both the DSCW5 and DSCW7, can be found at the following URL:

http://www.epinions.com/content_186188533380

My 4-Star overall rating is moreso related to the exposure issues with the previous DSCW5 and a potential systematic problem with the camera .... my previous rating was a full 5-Star! My experience with the DSCW7 is a full 5-Star as well!

Love me camera!
by jennlock2003 ,Jan 02 '06
Pros: Clearness in the photos, accuracy of LCD to print
Cons: Red eye reducer forces photos to take longer to snap
2 months ago I received this camera as a gift from my family and friends. Wow! I am impressed!!! I had been upgraded from a Sony Cybershot 3.2 to this camera and am amazed at the clarity in these photos. The photos do not lose any sharpness when zooming in on a subject and the photos print out beautifully. I also love the fact that I have such a huge LCD screen. The biggest drawback to the previous camera is when the photos were printed, details that you thought would be in the photos were lost since the LCD was so small. The only downside is using the red eye reducer photos take a few seconds longer to snap then without the red eye reducer. Overall though, this camera is perfect. I had wanted a good camera before my baby was born and now I have one.

Great beginner/advanced camera!
by ultrascope ,Aug 29 '05
Pros: AA alkaline/rechargeable capable, excellent lens system, great LCD screen as well as manual view finder.
Cons: A tad bit heavy. May be cumbersome for larger hands.
It's difficult to to provide enough praise for this digital camera. It has plenty of operational features without being overbearing and complicated. Sony uses one of the best lenses on the market. And with the use of one of their high-capacity, high-speed Memory Stick memory cards, you can enjoy care-free picture taking for a very long time.

Nifty Little Camera Takes WOW Photos
by joybelle3 ,Jun 04 '05
Pros: Solid, comfortable to hold, easy to use, great photos, faster shutter speed than earlier Sonys.
Cons: Software
This little camera is easily held in the palm of your hand. It has a large LCD of 2.5" which is a great improvement over previous cameras. The controls are easier to operate than those in the "P" series because there is a little dial on the top of the camera to quickly select the photo options. The photos are fantastic. I have photographed an ant on a strawberry blossom, sharp clear landscapes and a great one of my son laughing. I am very happy with this camera except for one thing. The software does not work with Windows 2000 Pro. You have to download a different "Install Sheild" before the software can load properly without application errors. No problems so far on Windows XP though. One thing I miss is the selectable upload software that was available with the "P" series. With this software you have to be able to load the whole thing or nothing.

Excellent Digital Camera
by ramos27 ,Apr 07 '06
Pros: Such a great camera to work with and allot of fun.
Cons: It uses AAA batteries but can take rechargeable ones.
This camera is by far the best I have ever used! Although it may seem that it has allot of features they are very handy. I have had the camera for over a year never had a problem with it and the pictures come out great. The prize is descent and there are probably many other cheaper cameras out in the market, the quality that you get is greater than anything.

Great camera, great value, Ideal for those looking for a quality snappy camera.
by maxieboy ,Nov 21 '05
Pros: Fast start up Battery life Quality of image Cheap at £240!
Cons: A little slippy in the hand. Sexy looking.
All you need to know about this camera is:

It starts up quickly - you are less likely to lose a picture.
A 2100 pair of batteries last for over a days FULL shooting.
The picture quality is amazing - you'll have buy a proper SLR to ask more.
7.2 Mpixels is the next logical step upwards - don't be fooled by ludicrous comments about "not much better than a 5 Mpxl" image - to increase quality, increased Mpxls is basic.
The largish display is really good.
Memory stick, memory schnick, you have a USB lead, get over it. Card readers in photo systems read them and they aren't expensive.
You can upgrade this camera by adding macro and tele lenses for not a huge amount. If you want these features, they aren't expensive when combined with this body.
