Only as good as the user

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2013

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I've had this camera for over 3 years and have never had a problem with it. I've taken a few thousand photos with it!
I also have a Nikon D-500 and a Panasonic Lumix Mega Zoom. Each has it's own unique features / abilities so I also have a good point of reference.
You do need to spend some time learning how to take advantage of it's features. The image stabilization can be turned on or off.
You need to make sure when you take a picture that you have the dial in the correct position. If you have hit the Macro button for close ups, you won't get a great photo of objects at a distance. On the manual mode you can do a lot of programing but, you need to understand how that will
affect your picture. The visual aids on this camera are wonderful. I would suggest you leave them on to help in getting the right settings.
I most recently took this camera to Scotland and used it while sailing on a grey day with wind and rain and it took some great photos with no blurring.
Don't go cheap on the Memory Stick Duo/PRO Duo which you have to purchase separately and make sure it matches your camera.
As I said, this camera has performed well for 3 years and I have no complaints and highly recommend it.

Not what I expected.

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2010

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I bought this camera with hopes that it would exceed my expectations. I previously had a Sony Cybershot DSC-W30 6MP and I loved it! It honestly was the best camera I had ever owned and lasted YEARS with perfect quality photos EVERY SINGLE TIME. Thus I decided to purchase another Sony Cybershot when the gear wheel stopped working (due to overuse) on my older camera.

I looked at tons of reviews for all sorts of Sony Cybershot cameras to be able to pick the best suitable one for me (it did not have to be the lastest). I finally settled on the Sony Cybershot DSC-W230. The features looked great, it was similar to my old camera (generally same look, same lens, etc.), plus as a bonus, I got it in my favourite colour... red!!! Please note that the actual red of the camera is slightly darker to what is pictured here (at least on my screen). I was extremely excited about my purchase and coudn't wait for the camera to arrive. It arrived in great condition.

Thinking it would have the ease of use as my old Sony Cybershot DSC-W30, I figured that I could take just take it out the box, pop in the battery and memory card (memory card not included btw) and start snapping photos. I was wrong.

You see, I am the type of person who snaps photos for everything. Anytime I go out I snap photos. When people arrive at my home I snap photos. When my dog does something cute I snap photos. I'm accustommed snapping photos until I have pictures coming out my ears and other people tire of it (I don't care though, I would still snap photos all the same). I found myself having to read the manual in order to understand the camera (something I have never done out of force, but out of interest). As said before, the camera has some really cool features that you can play with, such as the smile detection (which, I discovered, does not really necessary work with a smile but works if you squinge your eyes alone to simulate a possible smile) but it feels as though some of the main essentials were taken out.

The flash, on its highest setting, is no match for my previous camera. That flash was able to light up a pitch black room with the photo coming out as though it was broad daylight. This one doesn't. I suppose they designed it to save on energy or something, but this was the most (if only) worry that I had when purchasing this camera, so I was disappointed.

If I want to take a photo on the automatic setting, the photo does not come out great. In my last camera, an older version I remind you, it worked perfectly. In this one, it isn't so great. I suppose if you really adjust all the settings EVERY TIME you need to take a photo then it may come out great. I am no professional photographer (they may probably really like this camera): I am just an ordinary user who was looking for a camera that can snap everyday pictures with ease and clarity. Even in the EASY mode (made for grandparents, etc.) the photo does not come out good. Photos come out blurry if the flash is not on, so I need to have it on all the time (I don't mind this since my older camera had the same problem). The camera also NEEDS to be adjusted for the lighting in every setting otherwise the photos do not come out good.

I hardly use the camera at all. When people inquire as to the reason, I simply shrug and say "it's too much hassle". And it's not for lack of trying as I have my camera permanently attached to my purse with the purple Shock-Absorbing Durable Active Camera Case (purchased here), so I don't have the excuse of "I left it home". Since my purchase in December 2009, I have only taken one photo album worth of photos, and that in itself is disappointing.

So here's my recommendation: If you want a fantastic camera with great features that you don't mind adjusting for every photo that you take, then this is perfect for you. Otherwise, you may not appreciate the camera. But I'll still recommend that you purchase it because it probably is the best on the market (for Sony anyway) :)

Absolutely Fabulous!

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2009

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I needed a second still image camera for business since we share a single one in the office, which often results in delays. I was so happy with the Sony Cybershot DSCW80 that I bought about two or three years ago, that it was a no-brainer to upgrade to this newer, higher megapixel version. This is my fourth Sony digital camera, and I'm loving it.

I can't stress enough how wonderful the anti-blur technology on the camera is. While these newer, lightweight cameras are much more portable than their predecessors, it's also hard to hold them steady without a little of that extra weight. I don't have Parkinson's, but I don't have a steady surgical hand either, and this camera totally makes up for it. I don't like using the zoom feature without a tripod, but the more you zoom in on any camera, the shakier you get if you don't have it on a steady surface. It just goes with the territory.

I am an amateur photographer--I use this for just regular photographs of everyday things. I need something simple to point and shoot. It has the same basic controls that my other Sonys have had, with the bonus of a slightly larger screen on the back. Most users will probably have little trouble using the dials and menu on the back to try different settings and to view the pictures you've already taken. I doubt if you'll have to consult the manual if you've had any experience with digital cameras before.

I have video cameras and image editing software, so I didn't use the video function and did not install or use Sony's software on my computer, so I can't comment on either of those functions. The battery charges more quickly than previous models, and seems to have longer life for my still image shooting. The images are just fantastic--I could wave it around while taking a shot and still get a crisp, clean picture.

Some people don't like the fact that the lens extends out when you turn it on, but I think it's a small price to pay for such quality images. My only other gripe about this camera, as with all Sony cameras, is the fact that it does not take a standard SD card and you must use Sony's Memory Stick Pro Duo. This isn't necessary, it is slightly irritating, and if it took a standard SD card I would have given it 5 stars.

If you can get past the fact that you'll need to purchase a special memory card for this camera (and it's such a great camera that it's not hard to make that leap), you'll be very happy with this for years to come. I highly recommend this camera for anyone, advanced users and beginners alike. It's a fantastic value that will preserve your memories and take great pictures for your business for years to come.
