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

I bought this camera to my dad for his birthday and I had to try it. I was amazed with the quality and features this camera has and its size. I took some picture in NYC using the HIGH ISO and the photos were with just a few noise. I took pictures of my girlfriend's cats and they were awesome. Also I took it to a big party and the quality in a dark disco was awesome. And finally I used it to take pictures and record the F1 GP the shots quality were good too. Very impressed with the quality of the movie recorded. My only issue is with the smile detection, some time it does not allow me to take pictures but I did not have time to explore the manual. I am wondering to buy another for myself.

Well this camera seemed amazing at first. It took clear pictures most of the time. But as i started to use it more and in different kinds of lighting that you can forget taking a decent picture after sundown. The image stabilization is poor and you have to fight the camera to focus on up close objects clearly.
HOwever it is a good camera and sturdy, takes great pictures during the day time though its focus is still off. or maybe thats just me? Sometimes ive gotten the shot i wanted with a bit of luck. My complaints about this camera are common for newer sony cybershots. You can't get everything you want in one package...

Sony has been around for a long time,and they have a great reputation,all
my stereo components are Sony.This Sony camera is compact,lightweight,and takes great photos.Great zoom,much better than most cameras,the overall performance is awsome!

Love this camera. Its easy to use with great features. The smile button snaps the picture when it detects a smile...wow it actually works. This should make those Christmas pictures perfect. I also love the easy button...great pics no thought to it!! Finally you experts out there there are enough settings available to you to customize your shots.
One thing I forgot to mention the wide angle feature to fit the whole scene in should come in handy on my upcoming trip.
Nothing to not like about this camera.

This is a great camera for all around use. It takes very good pictures and its very easy to use.
