I have been looking for a long time for a camera, as i do with all electrical purchases and im usually dissapointed. but not this time. As a point and click camera it is great, does everything for you all you do is press a button, it even makes the photos look very good with its automatic adjustment. Im not the kind of person to review it from a professional side because i know nothing about setting cameras up, but if i wanted to there are lots of manual adjustments you can make, and they are all simple and very well explained in the instructions. There is a large lcd display which is crystal clear and the batteries last a very very long time, ive had the camera over two weeks now and i havnt charged it once even though i have used it lots. Photo quality is out of this world, i took it to silverstone to take some pics of the formula one cars and i am amazed at what pictures i have got from there, not to mention over half an hour of good quality video with sound. Like the other reviewers i purchased the 512mb MSX512S memory stick, i took over 100 5megapixel photos and 30 minits of fine quality video and still had half the memory left. I could go on and on but will just recomend this camera to anyone who wants super quality photos without any knowledge of cameras.

Amazon Verified Purchase
After much studying of the market for a replacement for my Olympus digital camera, I read an excellent review of this Sony with full camera tests, and identical photos for comparison with the competition. Although tempted by the W7, I chose the W5 because I cannot see any need for printing my pictures any larger than A4. I found downloading of the pics to my computer almost instant, and the quality of the images superb. Zooming in on a head and shoulders portrait, every individual hair, (& the dandruff) was visible with no pixellating. It is not a light camera, being a chunky object, but I feel this makes it less liable to camera shake. Excellent, and good value for money!!

I bought this as a "notebook" compact to carry in the pocket rather than dragging out an SLR for every shot. As a pro photographer with habits, I wanted a camera with an viewfinder, not being keen on composing on an LCD screen, but I have to say, this camera has changed my mind with its crisp, responsive and bright large size LCD.
Camera response times on startup and pressing the shutter are also excellent for this price point. A range of auto modes largely cope well with varied lighting conditions, and so far exposure accuracy seems good, albeit with a tendency to overexpose with flash.
The major reason for choosing this camera over others was the manual exposure options, allowing override of shutter, aperture, white balance and ISO - ideal for forcing slow shutter times and for awkward lighting when auto just doesn't cut it. Image quality is generally very good, the Zeiss lens producing crisp images with good, balanced tones, although it is a little prone to blowing out detail close to bright highlights.
The camera body is well constructed and large enough to hold steady with comfort. Overall, I'd have no hestitation in recommending this camera at the price.
