This is a great cam if you do not care for manual control or custom WB.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Really great detailed image , very zippy and nice movie mode.
Cons: no custom white balance.
Opinion:
I basically got satisfied with this , was almost buying Panasonic FX-01 , but that one was more expensive than this Sony ,which was 8mp and having 1250 ISO with very low noise .

Also I tried this and compared this with the Panaosonic , and I realized this one is much faster to extend the lens than Panasonic or Canon SD630.

I think this time , I have to give a lot of respect to Sony 's effort to set new W series so cheap .

But to be honest , the body of Panasonic was better built and looked much more sophisticated than this Sony .

This Sony look much nicer than the smaller version of this called W50, though .

This is my very first time to use Sony and MS duo , they are both very well designed and functional.

But if you care about long exposure or custom white balance , this is not the best one for you , though this is cheap and well balanced, very, very poweful Camera .

The image quality is obviously better than my Canon Sd600, though the color of Sony camera seems to me is just too bright or sharp .

Ok , finally , the Video mode is great , last 45munites because of Mpeg4 format .

I took my playing tennis with my sister for about an hour .
