User Review for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170
It is not what I expected from a sony
Aug 31, 2008Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Easy to handle, nice look, good functions for a point & shoot
Cons: Extremely grainy pictures, didn't find IS working well, ghostly images in lesser light, s/w intervention even in broad daylight
Opinion:
I have seen other cybershots and was quite impressed. I went to the booth to check it out. Immediately upon zooming I could see the grainy pictures. I asked the guy and he confirmed that the camera does "digital zoom" and hence it would not be like that when you download. But after I download the pics, I was right about grainy quality pictures. The features etc., are ok. I felt the camera is not capable of capturing colour properly. It can be seen if camera is used in colour and tinted mode. I don't think lot of features and 10 MP name should deliver such an output.
