Good

The good: Compact; easy operation; decent image quality.

The bad: Feels flimsy; noisy at high ISO; few scene modes or manual controls.

The bottom line: It's not very flexible, and it's not for low light shots, but the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W50 is still a solid compact camera.

Affordable with good features

Dec 21, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Slim, easy to use and clear day shots
Cons: Not as good for night shots
Opinion:
Got this cam from Sony Gallery around end Nov. Paid a bit more to obtain an additional 512MB MS Pro Duo on top of the supplied 256MB card. The batt life is prettry decent & the video quality is good too. I like its intuitive menu which summarises the various shooting modes. If possible, go for the classy black over the quite conventional silver body.
