Now, what do people expect from "point and shoot"? You are not going to get a super clear zoom from far away. At least not if you are looking to highlight a specific object. The DSCW800 is fantastic for capturing photos in the moment. Landscapes are beautifully rendered and the panorama feature, which is my favorite way of shooting the outdoors, is seamless. Highly recommend this item.
The menus on this thing are all over the place, and they look severely dated. Options are hidden within multiple layers of menu options and finding what you want quickly without using the "easy mode" is puzzling at best. The tracking options are outright confusing and none of them seem to work as intended at all. The screen on the device is also super grainy and it makes the pictures look even worse than they actually are.
If I had to say one positive thing about this camera it would be that this thing is tiny and light. It fit comfortably in my pocket along with my cell phone and I definitely didn't feel burdened by carrying an extra device.
