Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W510 12.1 MP Digital Still Camera with 4x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 2.7-inch LCD (Silver)

***Quick Note: This camera does not come with an SD card***When I bought this camera I was looking for a cheaper alternative to my DSLR camera that I could take with me to events where my big camera wasn't allowed or when I just didn't feel like taking the DSLR with me... This camera fits the bill perfectly.The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W510 is very small and the large screen takes up most of the real estate on the back. It's good to look for a physical zoom in a digital camera, which this one has and it works very well.I'm extremely impressed with the flash on this camera, maybe I've been using cellphone cameras for too long but I haven't seen a flash that's as bright and works as well as this one does on a Point and Shoot in a long while. Aside from just taking pictures, the camera can take video(with audio) and the really cool thing that's take panorama pictures in one shot. You simply hold down the button and rotate the camera, it does the rest... Very cool.I use a 4gb sandisk SD card and it seem to have plenty space (especially if you drop the quality down from 12MP). As I mentioned in the note, there was no SD card included with the camera so be sure to pick one up here on Amazon when you buy the camera to save yourself from in-store overpricing.This camera is definitely recommended, its a great price, compact size, good quality image, and comes with a rechargeable battery(and charger). What more could you want from a Point and Shoot?Hope this review helped!

Camera had a little crack at the top corner

This is a very short and simple review. The camera ROCKS! Super easy to use, and navigate. It has many, and even more functions than I will need, but It doesn't overwhelm you! Turn on the camera and your ready to shoot. I love that the camera is a genius. No seriously, this camera detects your surroundings, SMART EH?. If its too dark it will adjust to twilight mode, or maybe there's a view of mountains and fields, the cam will instantly switch to landscape mode. It feels awesome to no longer need to turn any knobs so that the scene focus can change. Aside from this, what really-really made me want this camera was how the panorama shot sounded. Reading the feature before purchase really interested me. After I received the cam and tried it, I was so amazed at the intense wide capture my cam could make. Sure, if you sweep your hand to fast or shaky, you may just get a weird boxy image. However, take your time sweeping your hand and relax, and the image is beautiful enough to make you own home wall art. Lastly, I took video and the quality looked great on cam, I haven't uploaded video yet so I have no further details as to how good of quality video really is, but the pictures all come out stunning. Pfft, funny part is, I even have it on a lower pixel setting to capture a size of around 4x6... Everyone, no regrets... buy this truly cheap camera and forget about going to Walmart for a deal... Clearly the deal of quality and price is right here with this Sony. How I see it, I should scream to ya... GET IT NOW! :D

The camera arrived as expected, and it does what it suppose to do! I did quite a bit of research and review before purchasing this camera! I already have a digital SLR, so I only need one for capturing everyday events like in school, at work, or visiting folks, day to day photography can only be made convenient with portable digital camera such as this one, imaging carry a SLR all day long :) ANyway, so it is however like a toy though, made with cheap plastics, appear super light, thus gives off a "fragile" vibe. Function wise, it is pretty decent, I pick this one especially for its build in "isteady" function, image quality is pretty good too, have an auto scene detection function that select the best image mode for you! Most impressive feature however though is the smile detection function, automatically takes a picture when subject smiles! pretty neat!over all, I am happy with this purchase at this point, now the question would be how long will it last? I will update this review once something come up!

I got this camera as a gift for Christmas. I literally have used it 2x and it is broken. It will not close its lens and will not take pictures. When I went to return the camera, I had missed the window of return by ONE DAY. Now I am stuck with a broken camera. I have talked with others who have also purchased this camera and had the same issue. This camera is NOT a good purchase.

I purchased this when it just came out (was a bit more expensive though) and to date, the camera works great! The pictures were of a great quality. At times even my friends would ask me to use my camera to take pictures because their camera (which was actually more expensive) did not take the pictures as well.The camera is extremely light, with the strap attached to your wrist, you might even forget that its there. That for me is a good feature as I don't like holding bulky things and I don't like heavy cameras. For others this might not be a plus. The material was not what you would initially expect as most cameras tend to made of some type of metal (which also makes it heavier). I'm not sure what it is made of, but it is not metal and it is most likely what makes it so light.Overall, I like and enjoy this camera. So does the rest of my family. (They all wanted to borrow it for their trips)

I've only had this camera a couple of weeks now, but have been using it regularly since that date. The first thing that struck me was how lightweight it was and I was afraid it may be rather cheaply made (that's why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5). But I must admit it is very user-friendly and takes excellent quality pictures. I am no camera expert, so I've put it on the setting where it automatically chooses the best mode in various light conditions and I'm pretty happy with that setting.For the price, I'd definitely recommend this little gem to anyone wanting a good quality digital camera for everyday use.
