SonyDSCW830/B 20.1 MP Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

Camera came super quick and is in amazing condition! I got it for my daughter’s 20th birthday and she’s super excited to start using it! Says it’s perfect for taking pictures of her friends and places which is what she intends to use it for.

I bought this one used and it's been more than satisfactory!

i bought this used and i really really like it, it’s good for cute pictures if you want the look of higher quality pictures. i am most definitely not a professional but this camera is really good for the price

This is an open letter/review to the Sony Corporation :First let me say I don't write product reviews, and I buy a LOT of products from Amazon. I am a building / home inspector and as such (recently did the math) I take upwards of 500 - 600 photos a week for my inspection reports that people rely on to purchase perhaps the biggest purchase of their lives - their home. I bought this camera in February of 2015 (14 months ago) and after ~33,000 photos, my beloved DSC-W380 has finally met its match by way of a lens booger.NOW, let me get to the point. Being the centerpiece of my livelihood and the tool that has captured more construction sites, floor decking, landscaping, electrical components, low lighting conditions of every kind, frost, rain, (and yes even falling off a building... action shot ; )) I was troubled when its tiny little heart gave up on me (natural death). Since then I have tried virtually every Point and Shoot on the market $200 and under, $200 and over, Sony, Nikon, Canon, done side by sides, swam in camera specs that would make any sane person's head spin, and have come to one resolute conclusion... If you are in the inspection business and need an amazing quality image on the quick, this is it.I'm not selling cameras here, so let me get back to my letter. SONY... PLEASE, PLEASE... DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS CAMERA. It is the perfect marriage of low light taking, no nonsense, perfect design for working professional (love the thumb zoom... can and will never zoom with my index finger... thumb on zoom, trigger finger on trigger... amen), perfect optics, aluminum non-plastic tough as nails shell, perfect amount of zoom... I could go on. This is a timeless camera for a no-nonsense user and should NEVER be discontinued.Thank you Sony for the genesis of this camera, and your attention to this open letter, I would guess I'm speaking for a large swath of real estate inspectors everywhere. Phenomenal camera, just repurchased after at least 30 hours of research, hands-on experimentation, etc (03/16)...I will not buy anything other than the DSC-W830 for my main work camera.Kind Regards

When I first got this camera I was wondering if I made a mistake. Yes I was looking for the impossible, an inexpensive digital camera with a fairly descent zoom and good features. Can this camera take pictures in rapid succession? No. In continuous mode it will do 3 shots at 1 FPS. Can you zoom in on the pictures and see good detail? Yes and No. Even set at 20meg the images sometimes do not bear close scrutiny if taken under low light, like indoors at night. But with enough light on the subject it takes excellent images. Did I experience a lag when taking pictures? Well yes and no. The camera takes a little getting used to. While the closest focusing distance on full wide is 5 inches, once you start to use the zoom, that close focusing distance extends out to 5 feet. So if what you want to take a picture of is within 5 feet, just keep the camera on wide and walk up to take the shot. If you can't walk up to take the picture then use the zoom. Until I figured this out I was very frustrated wondering why the camera would not lock focus on the subject. So after all of these faults why have I given this camera 5 stars. Well you get what you pay for. I have a Sony DSLR and a Sony all in one. Both cost about $1,000 at the time of purchase. Those take fantastic pictures but you can't fit them in a shirt pocket. It is unfair to compare a camera that costs a little over $100 to those. But for what I intended, this little DSC-W830 is fantastic. I get very descent shots which I view on my 27" monitor. It fits conveniently in a pocket and (once you understand the controls and get used to how it handles) takes pictures quickly and accurately enough for my needs. If I need better I get out my more expensive cameras. But for convenience and ease of use this little camera is a gem.
