This camera takes very good pics. I'm a little disappointed at how easy it is to take blurry pictures (if you just move your hand just a little bit). Plus, it would be nice to have a flash or light when taking video. But overall, I'm very happy. Just a couple of seconds between each picture, which is rare for a digital camera. And it only takes about 10 seconds to turn it on and have it ready to start taking pictures.

I bought this camera becuase it was a great camera and not too expensive. I'm happy with it for the most part. great pictures and video. Not too many effects on it though and i still havnt figured out how to make the pictures black and white. It's not a really simple camera...but besides all of that, the thing i didn't like about it is that you can't zoom while videotaping. Why in the world would you make a camera that dosn't zoom?? i can't figure it out. but whatever. it's a cool camera! :)

This is a very fine camera and is ver resonable in cost. It is 7.2 mega pixels and is very easy to use. This is my 3rd digital camera in 4 years ( I keep droping them) But this is by far the best one and it has a great night option which is wonderful. I suggest this to anyone who needs a wonderful camera.

When I first started looking at buying a digital camera, I'll admit it: I was shaking in my wee little boots. I mean, cameras are scary! They have all these... words and abbreviations and little buttons, oh the buttons!
But, I finally managed to calm myself, to breathe deeply, and to break out my handy Amazon searching skills. When I came across the Cybershot W55, I was mainly intrigued by the reviews. It had consistent, decent reviews, and the price wasn't so bad. (I myself bought a refurbished one from Amazon.)
So, I bought it. Bit the bullet. Bought a case and a memory card. When I finally got the camera, I was amazed at how light and flimsy it felt. Surely, I got over this, and now think of our very old, outdated camera as clunky and overweight.
This camera has a very nice design, is pleasing the eye, small enough to carry in a somewhat large pocket, but big enough to feel like you're actually holding a camera.
And the best part? It's pretty easy to use. I was really intimidated by the buttons, and hey, I'm a child of technology. But I'd never played with a camera before. But after a day or two of taking an obscene amount of pictures of flowers and family members, I got used to it. Didn't even have to refer to the manual; I was pretty pleased with myself.
I was further content with my purchase when I loaned it to my mother. Mind you, she's the type who when a pop up window appears on the computer, she squirms and calls for the nearest person to help her. So when she easily learned how to change the colour setting, turn the flash on and off, and use the zoom, I was content. She took some great pictures, and is now currently convincing her husband to buy her one!
And just today, my little sister (she's 3) decided she needed to take pictures. While she was very responsible, and took some strangely decent ones, I do now have a very massive collection of pictures of the mall floor. But it was fun, and she greatly enjoyed it.
All in all, this is a good choice. The picture quality is good, it's easy to use, the LCD screen is a good size, the battery system is okay (though the charge is nifty, it's kind of large), and overall, I'm very happy that I finally bought one!
Enjoy, and good picture hunting for you!
(As another note, if you're short on cash, my friend got the other sony cybershot -- the one that's about 130 -- and he's very pleased with it as well!)

Beautiful product, very nicely made and very easy to use. My favorite feature is when you change the settings a brief description is displayed on the screen so you aren't left guessing if you are using the right mode or not.
The only possible drawback I have discovered is that the buttons are made for small hands, it would be very difficult for my husband to use this camera easily, but its not a problem for me, I couldn't be happier with it.

I've taken several hundred pics already and love it. Its pretty sinmple to use and switching from auto to the multiple preset modes is easy. I love the fact that you can see the speed and f.stop when the shutter button is partially depressed. This tells me what sort of focusing (f.stop function) I can expect and I can decide if the f.stop need to be adjusted a little. The battery life is great too. It survived several road trips. I haven't taken very many flash pics, so not sure what to expect here, but so far, great camera. Big screen is nice too, pics are sharp on it.

If you are looking for a camera that turns on immediately and is ready to take awesome photos, then this is your camera. It is good at taking video too. But its strength really is the photo ability. The camera has a very small lag time from button push to snap of photo. It fits in your pocket and the photo quality rivals my MUCH more expensive digital camera.

This is a fantastic little camera - especially for point and shoot users who just want a camera to take snapshots and is not interested in becoming a rocket scientist in order to learn how to operate the camera. A 7.2 MP and fast shutter with reasonable flash for its size, its hard to mess up pictures.

First of all, I would just like to say that the camera feels cheap.. the buttons are made of cheap breakable plastic. BAD SONY.. (SAYS A LOT ON THE STATUS OF THE COMPANY) which you have to take extra care for.. I bought the W55 pink with case for my girlfriend for our anniversary. I was really expecting a lot from the camera. but just after 2 ... I REPEAT 2 HOURS of total use.. the camera's LCD STARTED SHOWING LINES ON THE SCREEN.. I mean what the... it was never dropped or broken whatsover. I gave the gift late at night so she wasnt able to use it that much. The next morning, she turns on the camera and there.. lines started showing up whenever you take photos.. Amazon I would like a refund or a replacement for this pls.. DONT BUY THIS CAMERA BEWARE.. SONY IM VERY DISSAPOINTED..

Nice trim designing, fitting easily in your pocket. I'm no camera buff, but this has a simple to understand interface, the menu is self-explanatory, and the pictures are quite simply crisp and at time stunning. Nice big screen, it has a ton of gadgets that buffs may like, but I'll never use. I bought the card and rechargeable batteries of course. The photo modes are very handy if you want to fool with the tools. Auto mode keeps the shakes out, and I love the video capabilities.

This was my firt digital camera. I got it for a trip and it worked out great. The optics are amazing and the price is really worth it.
Though it doesn't work to perfection when it comes to shooting movement, still it has settings for pretty much every situation. The only thing is that these settings are not intuitive, and it took me some trial-and-error to figure in which situation I should use some of them. Having done that, it was really easy.
The "P" setting is especially nice, since you can use it to set the camera anyway you want, even the flash (which has three levels of strength).
The videos it makes aren't the best quality ever, but they're good enough. And the steadycam works fine.
All in all, I'm loving my camera.

we have only had this camera for a week or so but it has done really well so far. we are upgrading from an earlier version of the sony cybershot and love the new size and options. it does take pictures a little different than our old one so learning which options (low light, landscape, twilight etc) work best is a little different. seems to have great battery life like all other cypershots. sony has now come out with digitals that have an anti shake feature that would probably be very nice since it is easy to move the camera when taking a picture now that the cameras are so small.

This is our third digital camera since we had a baby, but it is the first one that allows us to take nearly perfect pictures of our son (15 months old). The reason is simple: a very small shutter lag. All digital cameras (except the very expensive SRL ones) have a noticeable shutter lag (the time it takes from pressing the button to actually taking a picture). Our previous Minolta and Pentax were wonderful for still/nature pictures, but their 1+ sec shutter lag made it impossible to take pictures of a moving baby or to capture a nice smile. Now, this Sony has a shutter lag that is almost inexistent (without flash), and we can finally capture nice pictures of our son. We don't care about MP, but the 7.2MP is also a plus. The camera is also very fast to turn on, taking about 1+ sec, a very important feature for capturing those special moments. Overall, an excellent camera for our main purpose: to take family pictures.
Pros: very short shutter lag, fast turn on/off, good picture quality, easy to use intuitive interface, easy to carry, very high resolution, good bang for the bucks.
Cons: uses memory sticks (pricier than SD cards), proprietary (and more expensive to replace) cables, very noisy in very low light conditions.
Bottom line: wonderful for family pictures.

I have never owned (or even used) a digital camera until I puchased the DSCW55. I am very pleased with the ease of use and reasonable price. I purchased the camera solely because of its high Consumer Report rating. I do advise that one read the user manual first to become familiar with all the settings. I especially like the rechargeable battery and charger. I also purchased at 2GB memory stick pro duo which holds hundreds of pictures. Very pleased. Highly recommended.

First of all the pictures do not have a high quality. I don't really care since I am just having fun with it. But what really bothers me is that the videos are super blurry. It takes a long time to focus and that's difficult to work with when you are trying to record.

I was looking for a decent camera that was thin enough to put in my purse or pocket. This is what I got! I love this little camera. The menus and functions are easy to use and the LCD screen is huge compared to other cameras. When I was comparing other slim cameras with comparable mega bytes I decided to go to the store to see them all for myself before I bought them online. Once I could see, touch, and feel them I was immediately sold on the SONY. The other brands felt like they were made of very cheap materials and the buttons wiggled around too much. The Sony is a solid camera and appears to be manufactured well. The pictures I have taken have had great lighting and quality. I am very happy with this purchase. I have been surprised how long the battery lasts and with a 1Gig card I can take an endless amount of pictures.

I would say that this camera does everything that every other camera does and it is almost the same as any other point and shoot camera. I also have an Olympus Stylus 7.1 meg camera. This is just the same as that. I noticed little pauses with video recording mode. Maybe it was just due to memory stick as I was bought a cheaper quality memory card by my friend. Else, this camera is perfect. I had heard that it has a cheap plastic feel to it. But honestly, tell me who cares so much abt it. From a distance it looks and feels great. ANOTHER MINUS..

But it does open fast. Don't be fooled by the big memory, you will still need a larger card. Depending on the size pic you want, you can take about 30 to 50 pics on the memory alone.

I am just an average guy when it comes to using a camera. Probably below average. I started trying to use 100% Sony electronic products because my computer was a Sony and Sony-Sony linkages make for easy use. Given that, here is what I think of the product:
1. It is amazing how much camera you can get for the money. Compared to just 6 months ago, or a year ago, this is a lot of camera for the money. It is very small, fits easily in your pocket, but takes great pictures. Also, it is very easy to use and recharge.
2. A visit to the Sony website, suggests that Sony has new cameras coming out constantly -- new cameras that are very similar. This makes it hard to compare cameras, even within the Sony brand, and makes you feel as if your camera is obsolete the minute you buy it.
3. A problem with this camera, given it is so small -- do not shake. Your pictures will be blurry. I am a typical guy, with very little fine motor control. My hands have trouble holding small objects. Holding this camera in one hand and taking a picture -- well the results are not pleasant.
4. I tend to be disappointed by the telephoto capabilities of these small cameras. I guess if you really want to zoom in, then you have to go to a big camera. But it still seems like the small cameras could offer more.
5. Having said all of that, in the end, this camera is small and easy to carry, light weight, durable, and it is also easy to use. When you look at it, it looks well made. I ended up giving the camera to my in-laws, because they lost theirs. My in-laws tend to be technologically challenged. I said to them, just leave the dial set to the little green camera, and snap away. I have to say - they love this camera.
Overall. For the money, a great purchase, technology is amazing. Just grab it with two hands or develop a steadier aim than I have.

It is not an enthusiasts camera: too hard to get into the menus. The screen is easy to turn off(this sucks battery power). and it even has an optical viewfinder(a rare finding lately) the optical viewfinder helps to get steady pictures for those of us with the shakes. The pictures are clear and the colors are excellent. The drawback is the that sony batteries cost an arm and a leg. The wire for downloading pix is multifunctional and very proprietary(read that as expensive if you lose it)

Overall, the camera is packed with features and seems to be taking good pictures. I have found a bluish halo around white-framed shots that I need to investigate. The big fault I have with the camera is that it feels cheap and plastic! My last digital camera was a Casio Slim Shot (?) that was metal and withstood wear and tear. The Sony Cybershot is fragile, light and seemingly made of plastic which makes me wonder about the quality of the "carl zeiss" lens and whether it will be able to withstand living in my backpack or jacket pocket, ready for use.
I dont think I would recommend this camera to everyday users and would definitely have shopped around with cameras in person before purchasing.

The Sony W55 is the followup to the successful and popular W50. It's a very good compact camera, easy to carry and easy to use, and reasonably priced - so most people will be happy with it.
Not much has changed from the W50, which in this case is a good thing!
One change is that the W55 is a 7 MP camera, rather than the W50's 6MP. Honestly, that's not a big plus, as they haven't made the sensor that catches the light any larger. Same (good) lenses, same size sensor = the same (good) pictures, but not better. (Though it might help a little on features like Smart Zoom.)
The obvious change is of course the colors. Don't make too much fun of that! There are 4 DSC-W series cameras in our family, colors would have kept my mother-in-law from taking my sister's camera home with her. A little personalization is a good thing.
The internal memory has been expanded (to 56MB), but I've never used the internal memory on the cameras that have had it, so I'm not sure that matters much. It might be worth knowing how to use as a backup, for another dozen or two shots if your card is full, or you have some other problem.
The controls, menus and interface on the W55 are reasonably easy to use. For example, the W55 has easy access to the various scene modes (twilight, etc), with some explanation on the screen of what those mysterious little icons mean (so you might actually use them, since it tells you what they do!). If you're new to digital photography, there will be a learning curve. But if you've used other cameras much, especially Sonys, you can pick this up and use many of the features right away.
Read the short introductory guide that comes with the camera, though!
The rechargeable battery should easily last you for a full day of shooting - hundreds of shots - with no problem. (Be a little wise about turning it off when you're not using it!) So you probably don't need a second battery, unless you're going into the woods for a while. It's nice not to have to mess with bulky AA rechargeables. Also, lithium ion batteries don't have a memory effect, so don't worry about partial recharging. Just charge the battery each night. So - before getting a second battery, try it for a while and see if you need it.
But get a case - something to protect the screen, at least. A fully closed one might help resist rain and splashes a little, too.
You'll also want to get a Memory Stick Pro Duo card - Pro cards are faster, and you need the smaller Duo size with this camera. Get a 1-2GB card so you don't have to think about running out of memory too much - if you shop carefully, you can find them for so little these days that it's well worth avoiding running out of memory. You might want a spare card if you plan to travel for more than a week, or use the video mode often - which is surprisingly good (though a bit dark) if set to fine, but uses enormous amounts of storage at that setting.
You can stretch your memory, and your hard drive space, by using one of the lower-resolution settings to take snapshots. You don't really need 7MP for all your photos!
The W55 will take better photos than those credit-card type cameras that have a tiny lens system - optics will always make a difference in a camera. Any reasonable person will be very happy with the pictures from the W55, given the size of it.
The camera will be a little slow and often take disappointing pictures in low light and dark situations. Try the High ISO mode in low light no-flash situations - the picture quality suffers some, but most people will find it useful. Realistically, no ultra-compact camera will work really well in that situation - if you need that often, think about something with a bigger lens and bigger sensor. Good light always gives the best pictures with any camera. There are limits to what you can currently expect from any ultracompact camera.
The W55 offers enough controls (through the scene modes and the Program mode) to allow a fair amount of control over the pictures, for an automatic camera.
The charger is fairly compact and rated 100-240V, so while you'll need a plug adapter overseas you won't need a voltage converter. The battery charger is a little slow, though probably OK.
Keep this camera charged and handy, and you'll find you take a lot of pictures because it's easy to carry and easy to use!

I really love my first digital camera! I searched and I searched and I finally found what I wanted. The pictures are crystal clear, the movie playback is exceptional - you only hear what you're supposed to, no loud background noise or static, no muffled noise. The pictures come out so clear that after you take the picture you can zoom in 5X and count the pores on your face! I love it! I don't think I could ask for a better camera. I hope this camera will last me atleast 4 years or more or until I graduate from college. If one is in the market and can afford it, get this camera! There are cheaper cameras but if you want to get a camera, get a good one, that doesn't mean it has to be expensive, but in my opinion you get what you pay for. Thanks for reading. Happy buying.

I have been to the store to test out a few Sony Digital Cameras. This is the new model that just came out a month ago. I picked one up last night and it is terrific. The images are extremely clear. I was playing around last night, turned off the lights and only using my flash, I took a picture of my kitten and the picture came out as clear as day. The camera also has many settings to meet all your needs, from taking pictures outside, in the snow, or at the beach. I highly reccomend this camera and it is very easy to use.

I've had this camera for a few days, I can say that I'm really satisfied with the pictures taken. I've had to play around with the settings to get the right shots indoors. Outdoors and Macro shots are great, crystal clear shots. My last camera was the bulkier Canon s450 5mp, and I really like this camera better with the exception that I had more manual controls on my canon. Overall it's a great value for those of us who just want to capture family gatherings and vacations. Oh, I almost forgot, Sony has there own cable connection you need to use, don't like that either

This camera takes very good pics. I'm a little disappointed at how easy it is to take blurry pictures (if you just move your hand just a little bit). Plus, it would be nice to have a flash or light when taking video. But overall, I'm very happy. Just a couple of seconds between each picture, which is rare for a digital camera. And it only takes about 10 seconds to turn it on and have it ready to start taking pictures.

I bought this camera becuase it was a great camera and not too expensive. I'm happy with it for the most part. great pictures and video. Not too many effects on it though and i still havnt figured out how to make the pictures black and white. It's not a really simple camera...but besides all of that, the thing i didn't like about it is that you can't zoom while videotaping. Why in the world would you make a camera that dosn't zoom?? i can't figure it out. but whatever. it's a cool camera! :)

This is a very fine camera and is ver resonable in cost. It is 7.2 mega pixels and is very easy to use. This is my 3rd digital camera in 4 years ( I keep droping them) But this is by far the best one and it has a great night option which is wonderful. I suggest this to anyone who needs a wonderful camera.

When I first started looking at buying a digital camera, I'll admit it: I was shaking in my wee little boots. I mean, cameras are scary! They have all these... words and abbreviations and little buttons, oh the buttons!
But, I finally managed to calm myself, to breathe deeply, and to break out my handy Amazon searching skills. When I came across the Cybershot W55, I was mainly intrigued by the reviews. It had consistent, decent reviews, and the price wasn't so bad. (I myself bought a refurbished one from Amazon.)
So, I bought it. Bit the bullet. Bought a case and a memory card. When I finally got the camera, I was amazed at how light and flimsy it felt. Surely, I got over this, and now think of our very old, outdated camera as clunky and overweight.
This camera has a very nice design, is pleasing the eye, small enough to carry in a somewhat large pocket, but big enough to feel like you're actually holding a camera.
And the best part? It's pretty easy to use. I was really intimidated by the buttons, and hey, I'm a child of technology. But I'd never played with a camera before. But after a day or two of taking an obscene amount of pictures of flowers and family members, I got used to it. Didn't even have to refer to the manual; I was pretty pleased with myself.
I was further content with my purchase when I loaned it to my mother. Mind you, she's the type who when a pop up window appears on the computer, she squirms and calls for the nearest person to help her. So when she easily learned how to change the colour setting, turn the flash on and off, and use the zoom, I was content. She took some great pictures, and is now currently convincing her husband to buy her one!
And just today, my little sister (she's 3) decided she needed to take pictures. While she was very responsible, and took some strangely decent ones, I do now have a very massive collection of pictures of the mall floor. But it was fun, and she greatly enjoyed it.
All in all, this is a good choice. The picture quality is good, it's easy to use, the LCD screen is a good size, the battery system is okay (though the charge is nifty, it's kind of large), and overall, I'm very happy that I finally bought one!
Enjoy, and good picture hunting for you!
(As another note, if you're short on cash, my friend got the other sony cybershot -- the one that's about 130 -- and he's very pleased with it as well!)

I've taken several hundred pics already and love it. Its pretty sinmple to use and switching from auto to the multiple preset modes is easy. I love the fact that you can see the speed and f.stop when the shutter button is partially depressed. This tells me what sort of focusing (f.stop function) I can expect and I can decide if the f.stop need to be adjusted a little. The battery life is great too. It survived several road trips. I haven't taken very many flash pics, so not sure what to expect here, but so far, great camera. Big screen is nice too, pics are sharp on it.

If you are looking for a camera that turns on immediately and is ready to take awesome photos, then this is your camera. It is good at taking video too. But its strength really is the photo ability. The camera has a very small lag time from button push to snap of photo. It fits in your pocket and the photo quality rivals my MUCH more expensive digital camera.

First of all, I would just like to say that the camera feels cheap.. the buttons are made of cheap breakable plastic. BAD SONY.. (SAYS A LOT ON THE STATUS OF THE COMPANY) which you have to take extra care for.. I bought the W55 pink with case for my girlfriend for our anniversary. I was really expecting a lot from the camera. but just after 2 ... I REPEAT 2 HOURS of total use.. the camera's LCD STARTED SHOWING LINES ON THE SCREEN.. I mean what the... it was never dropped or broken whatsover. I gave the gift late at night so she wasnt able to use it that much. The next morning, she turns on the camera and there.. lines started showing up whenever you take photos.. Amazon I would like a refund or a replacement for this pls.. DONT BUY THIS CAMERA BEWARE..

Nice trim designing, fitting easily in your pocket. I'm no camera buff, but this has a simple to understand interface, the menu is self-explanatory, and the pictures are quite simply crisp and at time stunning. Nice big screen, it has a ton of gadgets that buffs may like, but I'll never use. I bought the card and rechargeable batteries of course. The photo modes are very handy if you want to fool with the tools. Auto mode keeps the shakes out, and I love the video capabilities.

This was my firt digital camera. I got it for a trip and it worked out great. The optics are amazing and the price is really worth it.
Though it doesn't work to perfection when it comes to shooting movement, still it has settings for pretty much every situation. The only thing is that these settings are not intuitive, and it took me some trial-and-error to figure in which situation I should use some of them. Having done that, it was really easy.
The "P" setting is especially nice, since you can use it to set the camera anyway you want, even the flash (which has three levels of strength).
The videos it makes aren't the best quality ever, but they're good enough. And the steadycam works fine.
All in all, I'm loving my camera.

we have only had this camera for a week or so but it has done really well so far. we are upgrading from an earlier version of the sony cybershot and love the new size and options. it does take pictures a little different than our old one so learning which options (low light, landscape, twilight etc) work best is a little different. seems to have great battery life like all other cypershots. sony has now come out with digitals that have an anti shake feature that would probably be very nice since it is easy to move the camera when taking a picture now that the cameras are so small.

This is our third digital camera since we had a baby, but it is the first one that allows us to take nearly perfect pictures of our son (15 months old). The reason is simple: a very small shutter lag. All digital cameras (except the very expensive SRL ones) have a noticeable shutter lag (the time it takes from pressing the button to actually taking a picture). Our previous Minolta and Pentax were wonderful for still/nature pictures, but their 1+ sec shutter lag made it impossible to take pictures of a moving baby or to capture a nice smile. Now, this Sony has a shutter lag that is almost inexistent (without flash), and we can finally capture nice pictures of our son. We don't care about MP, but the 7.2MP is also a plus. The camera is also very fast to turn on, taking about 1+ sec, a very important feature for capturing those special moments. Overall, an excellent camera for our main purpose: to take family pictures.
Pros: very short shutter lag, fast turn on/off, good picture quality, easy to use intuitive interface, easy to carry, very high resolution, good bang for the bucks.
Cons: uses memory sticks (pricier than SD cards), proprietary (and more expensive to replace) cables, very noisy in very low light conditions.
Bottom line: wonderful for family pictures.

I have never owned (or even used) a digital camera until I puchased the DSCW55. I am very pleased with the ease of use and reasonable price. I purchased the camera solely because of its high Consumer Report rating. I do advise that one read the user manual first to become familiar with all the settings. I especially like the rechargeable battery and charger. I also purchased at 2GB memory stick pro duo which holds hundreds of pictures. Very pleased. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a decent camera that was thin enough to put in my purse or pocket. This is what I got! I love this little camera. The menus and functions are easy to use and the LCD screen is huge compared to other cameras. When I was comparing other slim cameras with comparable mega bytes I decided to go to the store to see them all for myself before I bought them online. Once I could see, touch, and feel them I was immediately sold on the SONY. The other brands felt like they were made of very cheap materials and the buttons wiggled around too much. The Sony is a solid camera and appears to be manufactured well. The pictures I have taken have had great lighting and quality. I am very happy with this purchase. I have been surprised how long the battery lasts and with a 1Gig card I can take an endless amount of pictures.

I would say that this camera does everything that every other camera does and it is almost the same as any other point and shoot camera. I also have an Olympus Stylus 7.1 meg camera. This is just the same as that. I noticed little pauses with video recording mode. Maybe it was just due to memory stick as I was bought a cheaper quality memory card by my friend. Else, this camera is perfect. I had heard that it has a cheap plastic feel to it. But honestly, tell me who cares so much abt it. From a distance it looks and feels great. ANOTHER MINUS..

I am just an average guy when it comes to using a camera. Probably below average. I started trying to use 100% Sony electronic products because my computer was a Sony and Sony-Sony linkages make for easy use. Given that, here is what I think of the product:
1. It is amazing how much camera you can get for the money. Compared to just 6 months ago, or a year ago, this is a lot of camera for the money. It is very small, fits easily in your pocket, but takes great pictures. Also, it is very easy to use and recharge.
2. A visit to the Sony website, suggests that Sony has new cameras coming out constantly -- new cameras that are very similar. This makes it hard to compare cameras, even within the Sony brand, and makes you feel as if your camera is obsolete the minute you buy it.
3. A problem with this camera, given it is so small -- do not shake. Your pictures will be blurry. I am a typical guy, with very little fine motor control. My hands have trouble holding small objects. Holding this camera in one hand and taking a picture -- well the results are not pleasant.
4. I tend to be disappointed by the telephoto capabilities of these small cameras. I guess if you really want to zoom in, then you have to go to a big camera. But it still seems like the small cameras could offer more.
5. Having said all of that, in the end, this camera is small and easy to carry, light weight, durable, and it is also easy to use. When you look at it, it looks well made. I ended up giving the camera to my in-laws, because they lost theirs. My in-laws tend to be technologically challenged. I said to them, just leave the dial set to the little green camera, and snap away. I have to say - they love this camera.
Overall. For the money, a great purchase, technology is amazing. Just grab it with two hands or develop a steadier aim than I have.

I bought this as a present for my wife. I was looking for something that she could carry in her purse. the automatic functions are easy and functional. It is not an enthusiasts camera: too hard to get into the menus. The screen is easy to turn off(this sucks battery power). and it even has an optical viewfinder(a rare finding lately) the optical viewfinder helps to get steady pictures for those of us with the shakes. The pictures are clear and the colors are excellent. The drawback is the that sony batteries cost an arm and a leg. The wire for downloading pix is multifunctional and very proprietary(read that as expensive if you lose it)

Overall, the camera is packed with features and seems to be taking good pictures. I have found a bluish halo around white-framed shots that I need to investigate. The big fault I have with the camera is that it feels cheap and plastic! My last digital camera was a Casio Slim Shot (?) that was metal and withstood wear and tear. The Sony Cybershot is fragile, light and seemingly made of plastic which makes me wonder about the quality of the "carl zeiss" lens and whether it will be able to withstand living in my backpack or jacket pocket, ready for use.
I dont think I would recommend this camera to everyday users and would definitely have shopped around with cameras in person before purchasing.

The Sony W55 is the followup to the successful and popular W50. It's a very good compact camera, easy to carry and easy to use, and reasonably priced - so most people will be happy with it.
Not much has changed from the W50, which in this case is a good thing!
One change is that the W55 is a 7 MP camera, rather than the W50's 6MP. Honestly, that's not a big plus, as they haven't made the sensor that catches the light any larger. Same (good) lenses, same size sensor = the same (good) pictures, but not better. (Though it might help a little on features like Smart Zoom.)
The obvious change is of course the colors. Don't make too much fun of that! There are 4 DSC-W series cameras in our family, colors would have kept my mother-in-law from taking my sister's camera home with her. A little personalization is a good thing.
The internal memory has been expanded (to 56MB), but I've never used the internal memory on the cameras that have had it, so I'm not sure that matters much. It might be worth knowing how to use as a backup, for another dozen or two shots if your card is full, or you have some other problem.
The controls, menus and interface on the W55 are reasonably easy to use. For example, the W55 has easy access to the various scene modes (twilight, etc), with some explanation on the screen of what those mysterious little icons mean (so you might actually use them, since it tells you what they do!). If you're new to digital photography, there will be a learning curve. But if you've used other cameras much, especially Sonys, you can pick this up and use many of the features right away.
Read the short introductory guide that comes with the camera, though!
The rechargeable battery should easily last you for a full day of shooting - hundreds of shots - with no problem. (Be a little wise about turning it off when you're not using it!) So you probably don't need a second battery, unless you're going into the woods for a while. It's nice not to have to mess with bulky AA rechargeables. Also, lithium ion batteries don't have a memory effect, so don't worry about partial recharging. Just charge the battery each night. So - before getting a second battery, try it for a while and see if you need it.
But get a case - something to protect the screen, at least. A fully closed one might help resist rain and splashes a little, too.
You'll also want to get a Memory Stick Pro Duo card - Pro cards are faster, and you need the smaller Duo size with this camera. Get a 1-2GB card so you don't have to think about running out of memory too much - if you shop carefully, you can find them for so little these days that it's well worth avoiding running out of memory. You might want a spare card if you plan to travel for more than a week, or use the video mode often - which is surprisingly good (though a bit dark) if set to fine, but uses enormous amounts of storage at that setting.
You can stretch your memory, and your hard drive space, by using one of the lower-resolution settings to take snapshots. You don't really need 7MP for all your photos!
The W55 will take better photos than those credit-card type cameras that have a tiny lens system - optics will always make a difference in a camera. Any reasonable person will be very happy with the pictures from the W55, given the size of it.
The camera will be a little slow and often take disappointing pictures in low light and dark situations. Try the High ISO mode in low light no-flash situations - the picture quality suffers some, but most people will find it useful. Realistically, no ultra-compact camera will work really well in that situation - if you need that often, think about something with a bigger lens and bigger sensor. Good light always gives the best pictures with any camera. There are limits to what you can currently expect from any ultracompact camera.
The W55 offers enough controls (through the scene modes and the Program mode) to allow a fair amount of control over the pictures, for an automatic camera.
The charger is fairly compact and rated 100-240V, so while you'll need a plug adapter overseas you won't need a voltage converter. The battery charger is a little slow, though probably OK.
Keep this camera charged and handy, and you'll find you take a lot of pictures because it's easy to carry and easy to use!
->Comparison Sony Cybershot DSCW55 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Blue)
I really love my first digital camera! I searched and I searched and I finally found what I wanted. The pictures are crystal clear, the movie playback is exceptional - you only hear what you're supposed to, no loud background noise or static, no muffled noise. The pictures come out so clear that after you take the picture you can zoom in 5X and count the pores on your face! I love it! I don't think I could ask for a better camera. I hope this camera will last me atleast 4 years or more or until I graduate from college. If one is in the market and can afford it, get this camera! There are cheaper cameras but if you want to get a camera, get a good one, that doesn't mean it has to be expensive, but in my opinion you get what you pay for. Thanks for reading. Happy buying.

I have been to the store to test out a few Sony Digital Cameras. This is the new model that just came out a month ago. I picked one up last night and it is terrific. The images are extremely clear. I was playing around last night, turned off the lights and only using my flash, I took a picture of my kitten and the picture came out as clear as day. The camera also has many settings to meet all your needs, from taking pictures outside, in the snow, or at the beach. I highly reccomend this camera and it is very easy to use.

I've had this camera for a few days, I can say that I'm really satisfied with the pictures taken. I've had to play around with the settings to get the right shots indoors. Outdoors and Macro shots are great, crystal clear shots. My last camera was the bulkier Canon s450 5mp, and I really like this camera better with the exception that I had more manual controls on my canon. Overall it's a great value for those of us who just want to capture family gatherings and vacations. Oh, I almost forgot, Sony has there own cable connection you need to use, don't like that either
