Product Description:
The best technologies are packed into the elegantly compact and sturdy titanium casing of Sony's DSC-W300, to give you perfect photography results wherever you are. It has a 13.9 megapixel CCD sensor with a high sensitivity of 3200 ISO, as well as a BIONZ processor for extremely fast response times. In fact, thanks to the EX burst mode function, you can take 5 shots in just 1 second, so you don't need to miss a thing! This CyberShot also has a 3x optical zoom so you can do close ups of distant scenes, and a Super SteadyShot optical stabiliser to compensate for the effects of blur caused by camera shake. You can monitor all your shots on its 2.7-inch LCD screen, which makes focusing even easier. This camera even has a an automatic scene recognition mode, so you don't need to fiddle around with settings to capture that perfect shot of the beach, for example the DSC-W300 will do it for you! The automatic face and smile detection features bring out the best in your portrait and group shots, so everyone will look fabulous in your photos! The concentration of technologies in the Cyber-shot DSC-W300 from Sony will guarantee the best results, time after time.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Was almost 5 Stars but .....
What a beautiful well made camera. The DSC-W300 sure has moved on from my old Sony camera (which is still in fine working order). I'm impressed with the large LCD screen and the fairly easy to use menus. The smile recognition actually seems to work in about 95% of the cases. I could go on and on about how good it is, and yes it is good, very good, but it could have been perfect. So why didn't I rate it 5 stars?
A few little minor things that Sony should sort out. As others have already pointed out, it doesn't come with a Memory Stick and it really does need one. The hand strap that you can loop round your wrist, does not have a little toggel on it, and so your hand slips back out the loop easily (why is it not there? surely it can't cost more than 2 pence).
Now the BIG downfall. Unlike my old Sony Cyber-shot, and come to think of it, every other digital camera I've ever used, the W300 does NOT have the ability to Date (and/or Time)stamp the photos! True they do give you some computer software for you to go through each photo you take (one at a time!!) and add the date to your picture, but why? Please Sony, lets have this basic function back, how about a firmware update to fix what otherwise would be a brilliant, fantastic camera




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - No memory stick comes with it so make sure you buy one
This is a great camera - bought it for my mum for Christmas - (a bit jealous that it has a better megapixel quality than my camera)- but i didn't buy a memory stick for it as with my Sony Digital Camera a little 256mb memory stick came with it so i expected a little one with this one.
No such luck. So make sure you buy one to go with it - but don't buy one from the third party sellers online here (only buy from Amazon)as the third party ones sell fake memory sticks - i found out the hard way when i went to buy a bigger memory stick for my camera.
So to round up - Camera fantastic but unfortunately it didn't come with a memory stick. You can also find a Camera holdall online here i highly recommend it - it was so good (for my camera) i bought another one as another Christmas present to go with the Camera.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great camera but will it be reliable?
I've bought Sony cameras because I believed they had a reputation for reliability, however both this and my previous Sony have both gone faulty within the guarantee period. This camera let me down on a once in a lifetime holiday. Sony are repairing but the memories are lost for ever. My personal experience therefore is that Sony do not make reliable cameras and I would not buy another Sony camera based on this.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Impressive + unbeatable when reunited with its accessories
All features work well and very easy to use. Think of a Rolex submariner watch. Elegant enough for boardrooms, parties and tough enough for adventures. (But for diving, make sure it's in its underwater-case). Expect decent quality both from the camera and the pictures it will take. Make sure to use protective stickers on the LCD, so it could last considerably long with its titanium coating. The only negative words should go to the impractical viewfinder. It's just way too tiny to be of any use. The accessories are bit overpriced, but could worth buying.
Sony has just set a new tone for Point-and-Shoots and ad-hoc accessories.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great point and shoot compact!
This is a great compact camera. It just sits on your palm snugly. The camera looks and feels solid but not too heavy in the pocket. It is also fast and responsive when taking pictures. The quality of the picture is beyond expectation from a point and shoot compact. If you are the regular SLR user but get fed up with the bulky camera then this compact camera would be the great alternative. The viewing LCD is big without the touch screen which is great as the touch screen would eventually get 'tired' and unresponsive with use anyway.
All the ISO associated noise etc are all common problems with any compacts anyway but in day to day 5x7 prints and web use, it gives really great pictures.
There is even a histogram too!
After using it a for a while, my wife loves it so much. She wants to add that it sits in the handbag really well without taking too much space among her other things (goodness knows what else she put in her handbags). The slideshow which can be shown on TV is pretty impressive.
