Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-W100 brings digital imaging to an exciting new realm. It's 8.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD, expanded dynamic range and enhanced ISO sensitivity work together to produce remarkable digital images. With the added convenience of 64Mb internal memory and powerful G-Series Lithium-ion battery, the DSC-W100 lets you capture and preserve more of your precious memories.

8.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD;Sony's Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD captures every minute detail with outstanding clarity. The 8.1 Megapixel imager allows more light to pass each pixel, increasing sensitivity while reducing noise. The Cyber-shot DSC-W100's CCD delivers a spectacular image with every click.

D-Range Expansion;With a dynamic range one and a half times greater than the previous model, the Cyber-shot DSC-W100 utilizes the full output signal of the camera's CCD. D-Range Expansion delivers a vibrant and true-to-life digital image with reduced white-out and enhanced colour reproduction.

360-shot Lithium-ion Battery;Sony's G Series Lithium-ion Battery maximizes the power of the Cyber-shot DSC-W100 for up to 360 shots on a single charge. With its convenient quick-charge feature, you'll spend less time waiting to power-up and more time capturing spectacular still images.

Slim Design, Full Metal Body;The stunning and original Cyber-shot DSC-W100 represents Sony's commitment to style and design. Its smooth finish and durable, full-metal body, always make a bold statement of style and luxury. The elegant and distinctive design of the Cyber-shot digital camera adds sophistication and power to your digital imaging experience.

Enhanced ISO Sensitivity;An improved ISO 1250 sensitivity offers the power and precision to capture realistic images anywhere. The impressively high shutter speed of the Cyber-shot DSC-W100 ensures a blur-free image, captures less light and eliminates distortion caused by shaky hands during shooting.

Clear RAW NR;Using a powerful, new algorithm, Sony's unique Clear RAW NR feature reduces image noise while maintaining crisp, sharp detail. Working with the Cyber-shot DSC-W100's enhanced ISO, Clear RAW NR virtually eliminates light distortion for an ultra-sharp, clearly defined image.

Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens;Designed for the compact and powerful Cyber-shot DSC-W100 digital camera, the Vario-Tessar lens provides sharp focus and smooth zooming. The high-quality, precision-crafted Carl Zeiss optical lens provides rapid auto focus with an appealing zoom range for outstanding images.

Manual Exposure;Ensure your images turn out their best with the Cyber-shot DSC-W100 manual exposure settings. Histogram display and manual controls deliver improved image quality and control. Capture more shots in less time with its impressive shutter speed, and take control of your images with the automatic and manual aperture.

2.5" LCD;Enjoy your digital images instantly and effortlessly with DSC-W100's large LCD and easy-to-read menus. Share pictures with extraordinary detail seconds after capturing them. The 2.5 LCD even gives you the power to adjust brightness settings for a perfect look to your favourite scenes.

10 Photo Modes;Whether at the beach, ski slopes, or out on the town, capture the best-looking picture with ease and flexibility. Choose from ten modes including beach, landscape or high sensitivity to shoot fast-moving scenes clearly, without image distortion, blur, or any ghosting effect.

64Mb Internal Memory;Thanks to the Cyber-shot DSC-W100's outstanding 64MB internal memory, you'll never miss a moment of the action. Even if you forget your Memory Stick Duo media, there's no need to worry. Store your images directly to the Cyber-shot DSC-W100, hold on to more of your favourite scenes and share them with those around you.

Memory Stick Duo Media;Memory Stick Duo media delivers a wider range of shooting possibilities. Designed for smaller digital devices, it offers the speed and portability to capturem, access and enjoy digital images instantly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera, 4 Aug 2006
By M. BOLT "MickB" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just purchased this camera and overall my verdict is excellent; the picture quality is excellent. The large screen is a real bonus and is useable even in strong daylight, a real bonus for people who, like me need to use glasses. With the function guide set to on, Mode selection is a breeze with on screen promps; 64mb built in storage is better than most but having to delete photos one at a time from the built in memory is a bit of a drag, but you can 'format' to clear all the shots at once, saying that you only get about 15 'fine' shots in the built in memeory anyway. Can't fault it so far!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well thought out Sony Camera, 18 May 2006
Just a quick review on this item. Where to start. Firstly if your looking to buy a camera around the £250-275 mark, then this I believe is a brilliant buy for your money. The camera menu system is very user friendly, you can access different photo/video functions at the click of the option wheel, which is much easier in my opinion than using Canon's menu set-up system. The picture quality is outstanding, I tried even night shots in pitch black and the flash and lens picked up everything with exceptional detail. The 64mb internal memory isn't much but is better than a lot of the rival cameras. The only dissadvantage with this camera is the Sony memory stick duo, these memory cards compared to SD Cards are very expensive. It pays to shop around to find the cheapest price for these I picked up a 2GB card for around £40! That said, I cant fault this camera, its all metal body is attractive and fits the hand nicely and the large LCD screen on the back is extremely clear and sharp, even in bright sunlight. Gets the full 5star treatment from me.. Noot only that Amazons price is very good! :) -Ben Anderson LONDON-

5.0 out of 5 stars very satisfied., 29 Jan 2007
By James Hung (Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this camera on the strength of a lot of reputable reviews and also the uncommon ability to 'try before you buy' in the guise of a friend already having it. I wasn't dissapointed, it offers all the features I had hoped for, such as enough manual settings to cater for my developing interest in photography and a straightforward point-and-shoot mode for nights out, etc...

One point of note is that I was very impressed with the video mode when used in conjunction with a sony Pro Duo high speed memory stick. you can only get 25 mins of video at the top quality (640x480, fine, 32fps, with sound) on the 2gb stick, but its worth it.

Pros:

Very fast at booting up and storing photos, though when on NR (noise reduction) in manual mode it can take a long time.

Very good image quality. Up to A3 paper size photos. Macro mode is pretty great.

Can be as simple or complex as you'd like, has lots of easy to use presets as well as a intuitive manual and program mode.

Small enough to fit in your pocket, pretty light but feels solid and good quality thanks to the almost 100% metal construction.

nice and big screen on the back, with pretty intuitive interfaces.

Neutral:

viewfinder is pretty pointless, and the parralax error on it is huge. With the massive lcd on the back i dont know when you'd ever want to use it though.

Negative:

as mentioned in another review, the battery cover opens a little easily, and is made of plastic not metal. This isnt too bad as the battery and card are held in by clips as well, but its a little annoying.

Other than that, i can't really think of any! It doesnt have the image stabilisation technology the T10 has in sonys parrallel range of digital compacts, but I dont miss it too much.

All in all, a very satisfied customer. Just make sure you get a big pro duo card!
