Review on 📷 Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W530 14.1 MP Digital Camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 2.7-inch LCD (Blue) by Gregory Shorunov

I just love this camera. I bought a really great Sony Cybershot in 2009 but it was stolen from me in February 2011. I wanted to replace it for a trip to Ireland in the summer but didn't want to buy the same top of the line model. I went with this one and I'm so glad I did. First, the price really can't be beat. The amount of megapixels you can get for just over $100 is incredible. I took this camera to Ireland for three months. It was fantastic because the battery lasted a whole weekend of hiking and lots of photography. There's no bulky dock either, I like that only one USB cable was needed. This camera requires the battery to be charged on the wall unit. It's not ideal for a trip to Europe, but I haven't had any issues with the voltage converter, it never overheated or reduced battery life. If you're looking for something that won't break the bank but is really high quality, I think this is a great option. I like blue because I thought black looked dated. It's pretty bright, if you're conservative go for silver or black. It's really very blue. Update: About a year later, this product is still of great value. Of course I don't think there's a new generation out there, but it's nice that I can go to Target and not see a camera from the same manufacturer that's twice as good for the same price. Image quality is good for the price and with a little editing some of my photos are print and frame quality from Ireland. I also like that it comes with a cable instead of a dock + cable like some other Cybershots. It's the perfect travel solution, much lighter to pack and allows you to import photos without a hard flat surface (e.g. from a dorm bed). The dock on my old Cybershot was not needed.
