Sony Cybershot DSC W 230 digital camera

Bought this camera to replace the previous model for my wife Sony who has been taking a bath!. She loves this one. Bigger ad. The only downside is the lack of an optical viewfinder, but the LCD is good enough that it's not a problem. I really recommend this camera to everyone. Great buy and usually great Revain service.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Not a bad camera but maybe not worth it

This camera compares favorably to most others we've used in its price range. As with many of them, the shutter speed is slow at times and the red-eye filter isn't as good as they say. However, I have to say that the main reason not to buy one is the same as with any regular non-professional camera these days. This is something you might as well use with your phone. Yes, the quality is not that good, but what do you always have with you, a cell phone or a camera? As I kept trying to carry the…

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Expandable

Great camera: camera & photo

comments from john's wife love this camera for the person who loves good pictures with easy controls this is for you. Not a single blurry picture in auto mode. You just have to remember to press the shutter button halfway and wait for the beep. My husband drained the battery in about an hour but he doesn't like reading and learning instructions. try firsthand. He must have tried all scaling options and combinations in 100 shots. All without turning off the camera once. An hour later, he…

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled

Excellent camera suitable for DSLRs

After reading the reviews I was hesitant to buy this camera but having had good experiences with the older model Sony Cybershots I bought this camera for a trip to Washington , Columbia region. I was very satisfied with all aspects of the camera. You need to buy a memory card which I bought from Amazon for around $12. The memory card holds 800 high quality photos so I have no complaints about buying a memory card. Of the 300 shots I took last week in a variety of conditions, I found five were…

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Was damaged

Camera worked, battery didn't work,

The supplied Sony brand battery was empty and could not be charged. I spent $15 on a spare battery and charger and had to buy a Sony memory stick as this camera doesn't use standard camera SD cards so the prices for parts, chargers, batteries, cards and bodies for those old Cybershot cameras are more It's sensible to just buy a newer camera but damn nostalgia I have 3 cybershot cameras now that work, this one and an older one that uses AA batteries and the same weird memory card tech if you…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Film on digital - digital cameras

Well, here's an update. I like the camera but I'm looking for a new one! I'm tired of taking photos and trying to keep my hand perfectly still! Sometimes I can move the camera really fast and get a great sharp picture, other times when I stand still and the subject is barely moving I get a blurry picture! My sister-in-law also stopped using the same camera out of the same frustration! I did not pay the price advertised here! It costs less than $200. It's fun to play with all the manipulations…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No achievement
