Sony Cybershot Dsc-w1 Digital Camera Review
By Gary Hendricks, Fri Dec 9th
Are you looking for a good point-and-shoot digital camera? Ifyou are, one camera to consider is the Sony Cybershot DSC-W1.This little compact camera is currently flying off the shelves.With good optics and a large 2.5 inch LCD screen, in addition togreat looking pictures, the DSC-W1 is one of the more popularcameras around. Design and Construction The Sony Cybershot DSC-W1 is one stylishlooking camera. A direct competitor to the Canon PowerShot S500,the DSC-W1 has been constructed to be a compact, travel readycamera that you can use to take quick snaps. Its dimensions are3.5 inches by inches by 1.25 inches (weight-height-depth) and itweighs only 7.0 ounces. One aspect of the camera I found especially impressive was thelarge 2.5 inch LCD screen. Most compact cameras have small LCDsso much so that you have to quick to look at the postage stampsized images. Well, not in the Sony DSC-W1. The large screenmakes it a joy to do on camera image editing or to show off yourpictures to friends and family. Optics and Resolution The Sony Cybershot DSC-W1 comes with a 5.1megapixel resolution, as well as 3x optical zoom and 2x digitalzoom. There’s a built-in Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to allowquick focusing in a wide variety of photo environments. The optics in this camera are also superb. There arecomprehensive focusing options available if you’re moreadventurous and want to play around with advanced manual cameraoptions. If you want to customize the camera to take photos at night, forexample, you can change the shutter speed or play with the sizeof the aperture quite easily. If you need to take a quick shotin the middle of a vacation, you can switch back to auto focusand exposure so that the camera does everything for you. Inshort, the Sony DSC-W1 has features which give you extremeflexibility in taking photos. User Controls The user controls inthe Sony Cybershot DSC-W1 are found next to the LCD and on amode dial at the top surface of the camera. I found the controlseasy to use. Whether you want to zoom in on an image, or changeto a different scene mode or focus setting, the controls arealways within easy reach. Movie Mode I also like theavailability of a movie mode in the DSC-W1. You

Digital Technology Considerations To Ponder On
By Florie Lyn Masarate, Fri Dec 9th
With the world going into digital technologies, it is no wonderthat people all want to use digital equipments into anythingthat they use digital tools on. The digital camera is one of thehigh-tech Read more...
know, sometimeswhen you’re out in the park or on a vacation, you get thosemoments when you know a video will be more appropriate insteadof a photo. That’s where the movie mode is useful. You cancapture video at 30 frames per second (fps) at VGA size 640 x480 – that roughly translates to 90 seconds of video on theincluded 32 MB memory card. Direct Printing As with many newdigital cameras, the Sony DSC-W1 supports PictBridge directprinting. This is tremendously useful if you want to quicklyprint out photos without having to import them to a computerfirst. Of course, you will need a printer that is PictBridgecompatible as well – the Canon Pixma iP4000 is my personalchoice. Storage and Transfer The Sony Cybershot DSC-W1 comeswith a 32MB Sony Memory Stick – which is hardly enough forserious photo taking, since each image is potentially 5MB insize. I’d recommend getting at least a 128MB Memory Stick tocomplement the camera. In terms of image transfer, the camerasupports USB 2.0 ports. This means that you’ll experiencelightning transfer of data between the camera and your computer. Battery Life One thing I love about the Sony Cybershot DSC-W1 isthe battery system. The camera supports standard AA batterieslike those from Energizer. This is pretty rare in digitalcameras – most cameras need to use a proprietary battery. Theability to support AA batteries is great because you need notworry about the batteries running out – AA batteries are easilyfound in any convenience store. Shortcomings There are somequirks I noticed in the Sony DSC-W1. Though not seriousproblems, they did serve to mar my experience with this camerasomewhat. What are these quirks? They include: * Lack of a panorama-assist mode * Lock of white-balancecalibration options * No way to adjust the camera's automaticpower-down time. * Lack of a good photo editor in the bundledsoftware Conclusion I do hope this review of the Sony CybershotDSC-W1 has been of help to you. If you’re looking for a goodtravel camera to take fun shots with, this Sony model is toughto beat. I personally own a Canon PowerShot S500, but I’d alsorecommend this Sony because many of my friends have been ravingabout it.
