Small and well built, easy to use, manual aperture and shutter control, good low-light performance

Slow and imprecise zoom control, sometimes hard to focus, battery life is a little short, manual aperture only has three stops to select from

The DSC-W300's pictures are clear, vibrant and free of noise and distortion. It performs well in almost any situation and is well-built to handle the rigours of travel.

Attractive, compact design. Fast performance. Vivid and sharp daylight shots.

Inconsistently exposed flash pictures. Tiny menu dial can be tough to operate. Menu system is a bit confusing.

If you like the simple look and feel of a point-and-shoot camera, but love

A great image stabalisation system and offer of full manual overide are useful features on top of the excellent picture quality. It's not without flaws, but overall the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 is a cracking little camera.

High 13.6-megapixel resolution ; Titanium-coated body ; Responsive face detection and Smile Shutter ; Optical image stabilization ; Low noise level even at high ISO

Lack of wide-angle lens ; Average time-to-first-shot ; Uses only Memory Stick Duo storage media ; Relatively pricey for a point-and-shoot

Conclusion We are hesitant to fork out $599 for the W300 because there are other similar options available for less. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX520 and Fujifilm Finepix F100fd cost less than S$600 (US$441.18), and both sport wide-angle lenses with a 5x...

As ever with Sony's Cyber-shot range, the DSC-W300 is as much about style as substance. The metal build quality suggests this is a camera that you'll still be using a few years down the line, a feeling backed up by that whopping 13+ megapixel ...

Menu system with Home and Menu options is confusing ; Only a 3x optical zoom ; HD output but no HD movies ; No HD cable or dock included ; No zoom in Movie mode ; Optical viewfinder is extremely inaccurate ; Sluggish startup and shutdown ; Slow flash...

The Cyber-shot W300 includes Sony's face detection technology, not only capable of detecting up to eight faces simultaneously, but of differentiating between adults and children, and of automatically triggering the shutter when your subject smiles....
