Wanted to buy a compact Slim D camera. Those with a big zoom are pretty bulky, you can't carry them around all the time. I think a thin camera is the best choice. I reach into my bag, wander around, stumble upon something nice and snap a picture. You can't do that with a huge camera. After deciding on a thin camera, my choice fell on either the Casio Exilim or the Sony DSCW series. Casio Exilim are very sexy. You have a lot of regime scenes. They also work as a voice recorder. You can take photos of book pages etc. They have an anti-shake feature that is supposed to reduce image blur. I almost bought a Casio Exilim. As a hardworking person, I always wanted to search for more. I found the so-called anti-shake feature to be a farce. Many found it useless. It was a good reason to choose Casio. Then I found that the image quality of Exilim is not very good. I found some photos taken with Exilim. They were soft, not clear colors. Search the web for photographer reviews. Casio Exilim is rated significantly worse than Sony in terms of image quality. At ISO 200, noise was still detected in most tests. However, the same reviewers found the Sony DSCW to perform better. At ISO 400 there was no noise, meaning the Sony performs better even in low light (less detail in low-light shots). Big difference! One feature of Sony that made it very appealing was its strong macro photography. That's 0.74 inches, meaning you can get the camera up to 0.74 inches (2mm) from an object (e.g. a bug) and still get a brilliant shot. Fake) Thin Low macro (2.5") Lower image quality (Noise is noticeable at ISO 200) Many scene modes Fast shutter Sony DSCW series Slim (actually thinner) Higher macro (0.74") Higher image quality (No noise at ISO 400) Not many scene modes Quick Shutter Sun. Bought Sony DSCW 7 MP. I took a lot of pictures. They are all brilliant, detailed and crisp, with true colors. I tried macro and photographed the beetles. You can see the hairs on the bugs' legs. Absolutely no noise, no blur. This is a marvel of technology. I photographed fireworks on July 4th with high ISO settings. They came out brilliant, like professional photographs. It also uses a different type of battery that you can't buy in stores, which could leave you vulnerable. So you can buy a spare part (about 40 dollars). But you can always recharge it. And it lasts much longer than AAA or Nimh batteries. It was the perfect choice. I highly recommend it.
