What customers say about "Imaging"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

Great features and image quality for a small pocket camera, that is inexpensive.
This is a great camera for taking pictures of kids and events. Images are crisp and color is vibrant.
This is a nice little camera. I just needed a small camera that is easy to use. It even has image stabilization.
However, I sometimes get very blurry images. There is a long lag between pushing the shutter and the photo actually showing up. It is not instant.
Good camera. Will be great if it have improved image sterilization
Very slow in locking the focus and taking the picture

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800 Digital Camera

Lots of ways to adjust the camera's settings including the ISO speed.
You can use it in easy "auto" mode or adjust ISO levels and color balance.
Aperture speed is fast enough. It takes good pictures. It has a good battery life.
Great little pocket camera with a decent zoom capability.
I tried various camera modes and ISO settings but the pictures didn't improve.

What customers say about "Display"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

Size of screen was decent but wasn't satisfied with picture quality
The screen image is better than most in this price range, with a faster frame rate.
Camera is easy to use and has a nice size viewing screen.
The screen is fuzzy, almost as if it is working on 1 mega pixel
Would recommend. Have a little difficultty seeing screen in bright sunlight
Camera takes nice pictures and easy to use. Just wish it had a larger view screen.

You can see the individual fibers in the fabric at the highest resolution, the weaving of the fabric!
High resolution with plenty of storage options.
The display is pretty low resolution and made me wonder what the quality of the pictures truly were.
Picture quality is great! Only thing bothered me is the really bad display!
The quality on the display screen is difficult to tell, though.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

Camera has many easy to use features. Easy to switch modes a.so
Using in video mode drains the battery super fast. Other than that it performs wonderfully.
Non-expensive device but good pictures and some good functions, easy mode is good for non-expert person
Auto mode worked well allowing for spontaneous shots.
There are many different modes to select for excellent capturing.Not heavy and easy to take anywhere.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800 Digital Camera

It seems perfect for landscape and portraits.
Perhaps it is my own fault, since keeping the camera in continuous shooting mode disables the flash, but indoor pictures at night were a complete no-go.
long delay between ability to take shots. I don't expect to be able to shoot in a burst mode, but it should allow for maybe two shots every 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds.
Tried to adjust white balance and exposure settings on the camera and nothing works. One in every ten pictures comes out decent.
Not the end of the world, except that when it gets the white balance wrong, it generally misses the exposure and/or the focus too.
It has a continuous shooting mode which is supposed to take multiple frames in a short time as long as the shutter button is depressed.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

Great camera that takes great pictures. The only ding on it, is that it takes a special USB cable to plug it into a computer. A standard Micro USB cable will not work.
Also a great perk to this camera is that it comes with a rechargeable cord and also doubles as a USB to plug into your computer!! Takes great pics as well!!
I like the USB battery charge, but you can't use it when the battery is low or dead.
One issue...we were mistakenly led to believe this camera was wi-fi equipped for uploading. It is not. They do provide an easy to use upload s/w tool that worked fine with a USB connection.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800 Digital Camera

Simple enough interface and very easy connecting it to my computer.
Battery recharges quickly after you connect the camera to an outlet but I bought a spare battery for no disappointing surprises.
Photos can be accessed either by using the memory card or connecting the camera to the PC via a USB port.
Connects to laptop and imports pictures with ease. So small it easily fits in a pocket or purse.
It can easily handle a 16 GB memory card, and it also automatically connects to the computer for uploading pictures. It was also very reasonably priced.
