Great for the price, but not as good as the older cybershots.. [Posted on 2008-09-30]
I bought this camera to replace my older Cyber-Shot (DSC-W5). I was very excited when I received it because I really loved my old camera - wore it out in fact! But after trying for a month to adjust to it, I am really disappointed. Pictures in low light are grainy no matter what MP setting I use. Auto-focus doesn't work so well. Bright colors are super saturated. Response time for pushing function buttons seems slow (like review, menu, changing from auto to landscape, etc.).
It is a great price for a cheap, decent camera. I guess I just got spoiled with the older version? The newer one is not nearly as good. I wish I would have spent the money on getting the old one repaired instead of wasting it on this one.
A great little camera [Posted on 2008-10-01]
I spent a great deal of time on Steve's Digicams website reading reviews and looking at sample pictures. Primarily I use my camera for blogging and not for prints, so the way the pictures look on the web is what I used for a guideline. Specs-wise I had actually one-click-ordered the new Nikon Coolpix S610 from Amazon before panicking (because there were no reviews or sample pics for that anywhere yet) and cancelling the order. It was then down to this model. I went to a local electronics store and checked it out (as well as looking at the competition in case there was something I missed) and ended up taking this nice red one home.
The only two things I see "wrong" with this camera are that you need to use the Memory Stick (so I had to buy one, whereas we have 3-4 SD cards already) and that you can't operate it with one hand. My old 2.3 megapixel Canon was set up in such a way that you could hold and shoot with your right hand (assuming your hand was steady enough). With this one, the pressure of my palm presses the menu buttons accidentally. I'm still not sure I'm keeping this one, but I am thinking about it.
So easy to use [Posted on 2008-10-03]
I purchased this item for my boss. He's technically challenged but this camera was so easy to use that he picked it up and started using it right away. I absolutely recommend this camera.
Excellent point and shoot [Posted on 2008-10-04]
I had the 7.2 MP cybershot and this is an excellent upgrade. I am still able to use my base memory sticks and the quality of images have been great.
Sony Cybershot DSCW170/R 10 with 5X Optical Zoom [Posted on 2008-10-04]
I researched and compared cameras for a couple of months before deciding on this one. I also have a Sony Cypershot 15Xzoom DSC-H7. We bought a Nikon Coolpix L18 for our son, which I would NOT recommend. To me Sony's are the best! My little red Cypershot is GREAT! To this day, I still haven't sat down and looked at the manuel, but it's so easy to use, takes great pictures and it fits in my pocket or purse. I'm sure once I really check out what all the features of this camera, I'll find it even better! Thanks!
