CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.8

View score

The good: High 13.6-megapixel resolution; titanium-coated body; responsive face detection and Smile Shutter; optical image stabilization; low noise level even at high ISO.

The bad: Lack of wide-angle lens; average time-to-first-shot; uses only Memory Stick Duo storage media; relatively pricey for a point-and-shoot.

The bottom line: Although we like the features and image quality of the W300, it lacks a wide-angle lens which has become a must-have for a premium shooter. While other alternatives in the market may not offer as high a capture resolution as the Sony, they do make up with other features.

Jan 3, 2009

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)

The best point and shoot camera in the market...

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Lens Retracting is a very good feature
Cons: There should be a shutter to close the Lens after retraction
Opinion:
I had a chance to handle this camera and Love this resolution. But since it is sleek and easy to shoot type of camera, I would like to put it in my pocket just like I would do to a mobile phone. If the lens cover would automatically close, then it would be very safe inside the pocket and it would be like a cowboy retracting his gun out and shoot game. ... Just take it out of your pocket and shoot immediately without loosing the precious moment.

Pros: 13,6 Mpixel, double technology anti flou,IS, face detection and smile shutter, titanium coating, Full HD, and many more
Cons: minus wide angel
Opinion:
The first impression is satisfy and impressive.
This thing can capture great quality picture in low light density without flash.
Sony W 300 video, is also impressive, hard to say.
The minus can be support by " add support conversion lens "
so the minus, isn;t big problem.
Face detection, smile shutter and Image stabilizing ( In Sony W 300 Super Ready Stock).
The ISO can be up into 6400.

Compare between canon 860 and lumix FX 520,Sony w300 is much more better than all of them.
