Sony Cybershot DSCW170/B 10.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Black)xToo low to display

(68 reviews)

Best Price: Too low to display

The Sony DSC-W170 features an enviable 10.1-Megapixel resolution, Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens, and Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution for crisp, clear images with a sophisticated, compact body. A large, bright 2.7" Clear Photo LCD display includes an anti-reflective coating that provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight. In addition, Face Detection technology, Smile Shutter, and Intelligent Scene Recognition elicit stunning detail from special moments. High-resolution images can be enjoyed in 16:9 High-Resolution Mode simply by connecting the camera directly to a Sony BRAVIA HDTV or other compatible HDTV with an optional cradle for optimal HD playback. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto-focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 for a greater creative freedom to compose your image. Super SteadyShot(R) Optical Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens.

  • Way To Go Sony!


    By A2EHFYSRLY45Z3 on 2008-05-23
    I just got my Sony Cybershot today to replace my horrible Casio Exilm, that I was so disappointed in. I took this out of the box, and I immediately loved it before even putting the battery in. It is the perfect size. I myself don't like the extremely thin cameras. I find them more difficult to get a good grip on to take a good photo. This is very comfortable to use, and I love how easy the controls are and the handy dial to change the photo settings. It is still small enough to fit in your pocket. The color is so nice. Just so you now it is not really red, it is more of a magenta or deep pink color. So, if you want a deep red color, you might be disappointed. I took some test photos of my cats, and I loved them. They were ten times clearer then they would have been on my Casio camera. The color came out so nice. The video is nice too. I like also you just pop the battery out to charge, and the charger is not big and bulky with a long cord. You just plug the battery in, and the whole charger just plugs into the wall. I have a mac so I didn't need to use the software or install anything for it, so I cannot comment on installation, but I am sure it is not a big deal if you have a PC. It works great with iPhoto. The only thing I was disappointed in, is that you cannot adjust the zoom when filming in video mode. I am so happy with my choice, and I am selling Casio camera on Ebay. Highly recommend!

  • Seems like a good camera


    By A1HMF1F9GRQYJE on 2008-05-20
    I don't actually own this camera, but I was looking at buying either this one or the W150, which is slightly cheaper. I went with the W150, but I tried this one out while I was comparing the two, and since I don't see any reviews for this product yet, thought I could help out with what I know about this product.

    This camera has a slightly wider lens (28mm) than the W150 (30mm). Another difference is that the W170's battery power is marked on its retail box as slightly less efficient than the W150's.

    Obviously the main reason this camera is more expensive than the W150 is because it goes up to 10.1 megapixels, while the W150 only goes up to 8.1. More megapixels in the 8-10 scale shouldn't be a big concern, because unless you are taking large scale poster pictures you don't necessarily need a camera with a megapixel rate of over 5 megapixels. I tend to keep my megapixel setting low because when the photos are uploaded to a computer, I don't like dealing with large file sizes. However, I suppose having the option for that extra megapixel setting can be good to have, in case you would like to take a large cropped picture.

    Overall, when I was testing out the camera I didn't find it to be really any different than its counterpart, the W150. Besides what I mentioned above, it's virtually the same; 5x optical zoom, optical viewfinder, 2.7" screen, same camera settings. Pretty much it comes down to how many megapixels you want, and contrary to the popular belief, the average camera user doesn't need double digit megapixels. I bought the W150 simply because I didn't think the 2mm additional lens width and 2 extra megapixels that came with the W170 were enough to shell out an extra 50 bucks. Still, if you feel you want those slight upgrades, then by all means I'd say buy this camera. I enjoyed using it, I just didn't see the need for those slight upgrades when the W150 suited me fine.

  • poor image quality


    By A3UC0BWU7CSVZT on 2008-08-17
    I bought this camera because the consumer reviews were excellent, and my first impression of the camera was very good also, based on size, handling characteristics, and the way photos displayed on the 2.7" screen on the back of the camera. However I had business distractions and didn't display my photos on a full-size screen until after the Amazon return time expired. The image quality of my camera (perhaps I have a lemon) is very poor when compared to my three year old Olympus point-and-shoot. I was shocked at how "soft" the images were when viewed on a 15" computer screen. I took identical comparison shots using a tripod and self-timer to verify that I wasn't seeing motion, but in sunlight or low light, the images are visibly and objectionably soft. Around bright patches, such as sky showing through the leaves a tree in the foreground, there is heavy blue fringing, and some sections of the photos are "foggy" as though a fingerprint was on the lens, but there were no fingerprints or debris on the lens. There are noticeable blotches of off-color (like "noise," but bigger) in shadow areas, even at low ISO. I should have tested the camera better, sooner, and I blame myself and my schedule for not doing that. Here is the lesson: (1) Don't buy a camera unless you can thoroughly test it immediately, including judging the image quality on a large screen, not the screen on the camera. (2) Order the correct memory chip the first time, so you don't get delayed waiting for the correct chip to arrive. This Sony is not compatible with all SD memory chips. (3) Compare the camera against another camera of known qualities, but do in time to take advantage of Amazon's return option. I've shipped my camera to the repair center in Texas and it hasn't returned yet. If they fix it satisfactorily, I'll amend this evaluation to say so.

    OCTOBER 17, 2008 UPDATE: The camera was promptly returned from Sony service in Texas with no notation or explanation regarding what repair, if any, was done. The post-return images seem very much like the former ones I complained about. However, I have softened my criticism a bit because I think my original expectations were too high. This is a quite small, light, easily carried and concealed camera with intuitive controls and it has a reasonable optical viewfinder. For it's size, it does the job well enough, so, in retrospect, I think I was expecting a bigger camera's performance from an instrument I purchased on account of it's very small size. That expectation might have been unreasonable in some degree. I also have a Canon G10, which costs twice as much and is two and a half times heavier. The Canon takes lovely pictures, but I find myself carrying around the Sony most often because it is so small and so light (6 oz. with battery), which is a compelling argument in its favor.



  • Very Good Camera in Low Light


    By A3N25KCGWAKN5 on 2008-06-13
    This is a great little camera. It takes very good pictures in all light situations, but is especially good in low light when compared to other digital cameras. I brought this along on a recent outing to New York City and didn't use the flash at all. As with all cameras, not every picture taken in low light is perfect, but this camera does a better job than any other camera I have owned which includes other Sonys. It is about the size of a deck of cards, so although it is larger than some cameras in Sony's lineup, it is still small enough to fit into your jeans pocket without feeling like the whole world knows what you are carrying.

  • Read reviews- tested- disappointed


    By A1OAVXY2X6CBHB on 2008-06-16
    Thought I am a pro after years of photography and wanted to replace my old Canon Ixus 40 now. The new camera was supposed the ONE for snapshots, outdoors, indoors, everywhere! Nothing big to carry and always in reach. Did research the internet, read all the reviews of you guys and made decision to order the Sony DSC-W170 camera. I did like very much all the design stuff, fancy functions, the wide angle and zoom BUT....when it came to moving targets (like my 2-year old) and in addition to that it was indoors- then sorry folks, but this was very much unsatisfying! To resolve the issue with the trick of going up to ISO400- sometimes it works, sometimes it does not! The high ISO already starts to demand ist contribution and as a matter of fact its more a matter of luck than something you have control over. Wish the camera would allow me to fix the shutter time and would adjust the rest automaticly- without exceeding useful ISO- values. I would still have the flash- option to make sure I am not demanding too much. To summarize: besides all the great features, nice design etc. I have to send it back. Because Amazon has outsourced that part to an alternative provider I am loosing 15% of the value in the first week already by opening the package- bit of a shame! Have to test next time the camera of my fortune at Best Buy and then order it at Amazon, if its worth. Lessons learned!

  • Outrageously awesome!
    By A3CV7RVCZT5E00 on 2008-05-31
    Outstandingly sharp and clear pictures! Movie mode very clear as well even when my niece was jumping on the bed, it was not blurry thanks to the optical image stabilizer. Solidly built, well-made. 5X zoom is more than adequate. Sony didn't goof on this one!

  • Amazing - another great Sony!
    By A23PCEL26412R1 on 2008-07-27
    This is the 6th Sony camera of camcorder that we've owned. My wife wanted a slim camera to carry in her purse for shots of the children at outings and such. We already own the Memory Stick media and NP-BG1 batteries and chargers so a Sony that uses these was our first choice. No one, NO ONE, else had the new DSC-W150 or W170s on discount other than Amazon when we bought ours. The Smile technology and child first choice are AMAZING. The quality of the pictures is terrific but the ease of point and shoot with presets or all auto is great for pull it out on the spur of the moment, turn it on (fast), point and shoot! The quality of the Very Fine movies is also really amazing. I know that its still 640x480 video but 30fps and the speed of the new Mark 2 cards makes this usable footage - its not the same as our Sony DVCs but its good enough and its with us ALL THE TIME! Wow. Great 5x optics, wider angle than the W150 (which is nice as many slim cameras make it hard to do photos of groups unless you are way back), and it uses the NP-BG1 and newer NP-FG1 battery packs so its compatible with our DSC-H7 and its support materials!!

    UPDATE: Nov 12, 2008:
    Well, we've had it for several months and two big trips. We took over 2000 photos with it during our week at Walt Disney World. I also had my Sony DSC-H7 with us. After the first day and comparing the two sets of photos that evening, I carried the W170 for the rest of the trip. Its SO much smaller, took great photos, and was easier to use (also was easier on the battery) that I took more photos than I otherwise would have with the bulkier camera. The Videos, when converted with Vista to DVD, are AMAZING! Are they as good as our Digital Video tape Sony? No, but then again this camera is 1/10th the size! Just plain impressed with the performance of this little camera.

  • Very Good Features & Quality, But Oversimplified
    By A1UWKA2VZBSTID on 2008-06-23
    Love this camera. Great low-light capability, zoom of 5x is very useful (and the wide 28mm is good), nice pocketable size, good control layout, fast response for shooting and playback even with the high 10.1 megapixel, good screen clarity, (but wierd slight lag in "focusing" in reviewing - why?). Also selected this because one of the last remaining series with an optical viewfinder for when it is very bright outside or when my reading glasses are not handy, (just wait- it will happen to you too). I think only Canon still has optical viewfinder models available. Viewfinder is only approximate of real view at various zoom levels, but errors on side of giving more than you see, which is good - you can always crop later. But my real beef is that with all of this face and smile detection junk, (come on, do you really need a smile detection with such settings as child vs. adult, etc?), they should have kept some way to choose aperture or shutter priority. As a minimum, there should have been a "sports" or "action" mode and a "near & far focus" mode. Anyway the camera is fast (high EV), so in many cases, action blur is not a huge problem. The shutter button is elongated and you need to be pretty well centered on it for proper actuation - surprising quality design slip for Sony. Like I say, love this thing but I give it 4 instead of 5 stars because of of the drawbacks indicated. One of the best choices out there overall.

  • Motor stopped in 6 weeks, Made in China unlike most Sony
    By A1CGUQEH392EER on 2008-06-25
    Loved the camera from the moment I bought it, great zoom, great functions. I have owned a many cameras and was very happy about the versatility and clarity of the W-170. One sunny day I took a round of 10-15 fotos, pressed the power button to turn it off....the lens failed to retract all the way.
    Now just 5 weeks after purchase I have sent it to the service center.

    One more piece of advice. I used to work at Best Buy, their replacement/repair service is great and on the spot. I regrettably bought this camera at Sonysyle store and when I tried to get a new one just one week after their 30 return policy with my 3 yr service agreement, they said I had to ship it to Laredo, TX and it would be 10 days to 2 weeks to service or replace and I had to pay and ship it myself...Best Buy, Never!

    I have tracked the status of my W-170 that I sent last week. USPS said it was delivered on June 21st, now it's June 25th and they have no record of it.

    It does take incredible shots and the smile function doesn't work well!

  • sony makes the best
    By A2FBJ0HSIBUBVR on 2008-05-30
    i highly recommend this prodct of sony
    dont trust all the reviews.
    some people just dont like one thing about the product and can give low stars.
    this is a great camera if you are not a professional.
    if you are, you can buy these complicated ones...
    i bought it for myself and very glad to use it,
    battery life is great as i read from the reviews.

  • excellent camera
    By A1C7OT389QJ0T5 on 2008-06-05
    I was looking for a camera that would take good pictures and I found it. This camera is amazing! I have taken pictures in well lit areas as well as in doors and have had very nice pictures in both scenarios. I highly recommend this camera. The only thing I am not happy about is not buying is sooner.

  • Excellent Little Camera
    By A3MNY2UW6Q0FLV on 2008-06-13
    I have been using this little camera for a couple of weeks now, taking photos daily. I am very pleased with its compact design, ease of use, crisp clear photos and convenience. I often wear it on a neckstrap and tuck it in my pocket. It fits in a little pocket in my small purse and goes everywhere with me. I am particularly impressed by the quality of the macro shots of flowers that I love to take.

  • Better than Canon
    By A2OLXEMQIWYBKS on 2008-06-28
    This is a great little camera. I especially like the viewfinder, so that in sunlight, you can see your subjects easier. I purchased a Canon Powershot A720 IS, but sent it back, as the viewfinder and actual view were miles out. Unacceptable by Canon's standards I believe. This Sony is more expnsive, but a better performer. Thr viewfinder is not perfect, but more accurate than the Canon. One doesn't expect single lens reflex standards, but the Sony is good. Using the viewfinder, you need to get as much as you can in the view itself though. The camera manual is only on the CD, but there is a brief version in paper. The sensor seems pretty good tp me, and the preview screen has a high refersh rate (I believe that is the correct saying...) Lastly, this fits in your pocket, yet still gives a great performance.

  • Best Camera for Realtors and Appraisers
    By A233BN0QEKG55S on 2008-07-20
    I am a realtor who has spent nearly 5 weeks testing cameras to use that can fit rooms into one shot. I have 4 sony cameras. H3 W70 p10 and the touch screen N1 which is my personal favorite. I am a sony guy, but I needed a 28mm wide angle camera. I tried the Panasonic tz5 and the Panasonic fx35 which is a 25mm wide camera but has no zoom. I went to Best Buy to buy the Tz5 for 350.00. I told the salesgirl that I wish Sony made a wide angle camera and she said "they do!" My descion was that I would try it since I already had 2 extra BG-1 batterys (which work for all the new sony's) and memory sticks so I saved on the extras. I bought the W170 on the spot went home and took some photos of a couple of rooms at my home. WOW!!! I can tell you right now that this will replace my N1 and my H3. Too bad it does not have the touch screen like the N1 but, the 1st 40 pictures printed so nice that I am willing to wait until Sony builds me a wide angle camera with a touch screen.

  • a good choice!
    By A3T42J6E1OLIVF on 2008-06-05
    well, this cam is amazing, the smile shutter is good, a lot! 10 pixels are enought to a afficionated photographer, the 5x optical zoom help a lot when you want to be a little bit more near, the ISO is good too, almost 3200, the slide show with music is the best, no like other, the display its good, if it would be tactil, it will be a better cam, in conclusion, a very good invertion

  • Perfection.
    By A3LCXEHLI90J3C on 2008-07-17
    I recently purchased this Sony Cybershot model. This camera is amazing in every way. The pictures come out crystal clear and bright on the camera and computer. I took a picture of a bee on a flower and set it as my desktop. The picture is so clear and vibrant, even enlarged, that I can't help but stare. Even I, an impatient teenager, have no problems with shutter lag. I snapped pictures of road signs from a moving car on the high way and still managed to get clear and readable signs. I have nothing to complain about. The only thing is, I would suggest purchasing a second battery, as this fun to use camera will have you snapping away. Before you know it the battery is gone. Also the charger that comes with it is untimely sluggish. No complaints about the camera. Sony has made perfection.

  • Great for the price, but not as good as the older cybershots..
    By A3AXK5J8F716D2 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.

  • Yes another sony
    By ABYYDXX9LFI7L on 2008-07-29
    I bought this camera to replace my Canon SD700IS which i was never very happy with. I had a sony 7.1 megapixel before but it was stolen and i replaced it with the Cannon due to all of its "great" reviews. I never liked the dreary picture quality of the Cannon and i compared my old SD700 with my new Sony and OMG I finally have a camera that takes great colorful and vibrant pictures. The picture quality is remarkably better than the Cannon. Although i have yet to use many of the other features on the camera, i am extremely happy with the one feature that matters most and that is PICTURE QUALITY

  • So much better than my old Canon...
    By A2YGFVCGMB8WQL on 2008-08-04
    My last camera was a Canon, and I was never satisfied of indoor shots (usually of my cats). I should also note I have fluorescent lighting, that added to the problem. I reviewed Fuji, Panasonic, Canon, Olympus, and Sony cameras before making this purchase. The first two pictures I took when I got home almost blew me away. The sun was going down, and all the lights were off in the house, and the high ISO setting and Easy setting was still turning out some really nice pictures. You need a tripod for the twilight setting, but other that that, this camera is *awesome* for indoor shots.

  • Fantastic Camera!
    By A3AA55IFIBV71H on 2008-07-01
    Got this a few weeks ago and have been busy trying out my new camera...it is fantastic, takes awesome pictures, is so easy to use, small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, batteries stay charged for a long time (something that was a big feature). I love love love it!

  • Sony Cybershot digital pocket camera
    By A1MMKJTO8UQ3ZD on 2008-08-29
    The Sony model DSCW170 camera is entirely satisfactory, considering its size and cost. It produces very beautiful photos of architectural and landscape subjects; it is harder to use for good photos of people because of the inherent delay of a fraction of a second between composing the picture and actually capturing it. One comes away with more respect for the daguerrotype photographers, whose models had to be still for minutes, not just a fraction of a second. It is annoying that it is not shipped with at least a one GB memory chip; the chip is a separate purchase, from a separate supplier. Unless you are using the full 10 megapixel image quality, the four GB memory chip I purchased is probably overkill - it permits you to store more than 1000 photos at 5 megapixel quality.

  • Sony DSC-W170 its the best choose! 10.1 mp!! do you want more?
    By A8PL2CLB3CWE7 on 2008-06-07
    ok it a 10.1 mp camera, easy to use, the lcd screen its the best!!!, the battery 10 points!!you can take a lot of pictures with no problems!!!

  • great camera, surpased my expectations
    By A1ITIXEIQU7518 on 2008-07-14
    This camera has tons of ingeneous features. My favousite is the smile feature, lots of my friends do not smile for pictures and now I create goofy smiles on them. Also the setting that takes the pictures automatically once the person in the picture smiles is great. I love the huge screen. I was very impressed with the technology.
    Down-side:I am not a gadget/ technology person and did not know I had to purchase a memory card with the camera. It is a little thicker than I thought, but no big problem.
    I love my camera and all the avaiable accessories for it.

  • Great ~ Quality camera!
    By ADETOO6KHRS8B on 2008-08-02
    I'm not a professional but am very picky about my photos and picture-taking. The Super Steady Shot guarantees a great picture EVERY time and with awesome color/clarity. Other great perks about this camera include the red eye reduction, face detection, smile detection, White Balance, awesome REC mode for continuous shooting, Scene Recognition, Underwater mode (you have to buy the special case for this), and editing modes from the viewing menu... the list goes on and on! Both I and my husband are blown away with this camera. We have friends that own other Sony Cyber-shots and they are very happy with them. This is not a touchscreen... if you are looking to buy a touchscreen be very careful with it. I know someone who had it in his pocket and hit something which busted the touchscreen. This was not replaceable and unfortunately ruined a good Sony Cyber-shot. He turned around and bought another one. They are GREAT cameras!

  • Sony Cybershot DSC170/R 10.1 MP
    By ALDLHAGK0QBWI on 2008-08-12
    I love this camera. The pictures are flawless, generally with a size of 1 MB. The screen is big enough so I can see the quality of the picture. Excellent zoom option. The camera size is perfect to keep in my purse. One thing though is that the red of the camera is not pure blood red but rather a very dark pink-red, which I happen to love. I am looking for a gel case to avoid bumping and scratching its surface. I wish a fitting one for this camera was recommended to my when I bought it, so I could buy them together.

    Works perfectly. I especially like the Super Steady Shot feature, none of my shots are blurred.

  • NO ZOOMING DURING RECORDING VIDEOS!
    By A1S28QB8SQKM8H on 2008-09-10
    THIS CAMERA IS ALMOST PERFECT BY A NOTCH. THE REASON I GIVE IT 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5 IS THE FACT THAT YOU CANT ZOOM IN OR OUT WHEN RECORDING VIDEOS. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS CAMERA FROM BEST BUY I NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT ZOOM IN OR OUT DURING RECORDING OF VIDEOS. I CONTACTED SONY CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND AS SOON AS I GAVE THEM THE MODEL OF THE CAMERA AND THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING THEY TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY THAT THIS CAMERA DOES NOT HAVE THE FEATURE OF ZOOMING IN AND OUT WHILE RECORDING VIDEOS. IM THINKING ABOUT TAKING IT BACK AND GETTING ONE THAT HAS THIS FEATURE!

  • Sony Cybershot DSCW170/R 10 with 5X Optical Zoom
    By A1YF6CB39OLNX 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!

    Great item! It has great resolution and its also good to take pictures in motion. The shipping was faster than expected. The battery life is excellent!

  • Perfect-almost
    By A254F4RRG4GDP9 on 2008-09-07
    I purchased this from BestBuy just because I didn't want to wait for shipping and I needed a camera this weekend. Anyway, after going through a few Kodak digital cameras, first a 5 MP and then a 8mp I upgraded to this wonderful Sony 10mp that is just fantastic. I had it out of the box and taking pictures within 5 minutes. I posted a fantastic picture of a butterfly under product images. That was taken impulsively in easy mode.

    I love the smart smile technology, what a spectacular idea that was. To those of you who are unfamiliar with that technology as I was smile shutter will wait for the subject being photographed to smile. It displays a smile meter and when the perfect smile is made it knows just when to take the perfect shot - it's awesome if you learn to use it correctly.

    I also appreciate the fact it has built in slide show feature with music. The single USB & A/V cord makes it easy to connect to a computer or a TV. At first I did not know if I liked the fact that I could not choose the perfect scene mode but I will tell you that this is one smart camera and consistently and flawlessly will choose the best conditions to shoot the picture.

    This also comes with a rechargeable battery with charging station that is a sure winner. The only thing I can think of that I wish this had was a Panoramic mode that "stitched" together multiple photos like my kodak did on board the camera. But thats what photo editing software is for I guess

    I also enjoy messing around with black and white photographs. If you place this in personalized mode and select B&W color mode it will take B&W photos that will blow you away.

    Bottom line: If you are considering a camera that is above a entry level camera but not quite a SLR but is capable of producing "WOW" photographs, go to an electronic store and give this one a try, you probably will not be disappointed.

    ADDED AFTER 3 MONTS OF OWNING:
    Still am happy with this camera. One drawback is although it has a lot of buttons and features which I enjoy, there are stff limits as far as shooting your pictures in a manual mode. Also, I am having trouble in almost any mode of the camera noticing different shades of red. E.g. if shooting a red flower with all red leafs but at different depths, the camera just sees a blob of red. Now having it, I sill like it lots, might drop to 3.5 to 4 out of five on stars. Still worth looking at but I may have bought a SLR camera though more expensive, but I do like this size. I am torn on my review of this. In ways I enjoyed my 8mp Kodak better. Also, no panoramic mode on the sony.
