I brought a sony dscw85 several years ago and I love it so much. So this time when I think about buy a new digital camera, I just want DSC W series. But i have to say, I didn’t see much approvements for the W230…

Bought this camera for my wife for Christmas. She loves it! Picture quality is excellent, and she is still dicovering new features. I know I saved at least $40 on the price over regular retail. Very pleased.

This is a good value. Easy to use, good features, fair battery life, excellent pictures. Fit easily in a shirt pocket. Use an Sony FGI battery because this shows the actual time left on the charge and this will improve the management of the battery life.
There is some next picture delay when using the red eye feature, however if this feature is turned off the delay is minimal.
The smile shutter, although not perfect, works surprisingly well.
I would buy this camera again.

best camera ever except if you want to take more than one picture you will need a memory card. Why do companies like to screw us. My opinion is that it should come with a memory card, one nobody wants to pay that much just to take one picture. Otherwise you wont find a better camera.
