## Description

Why Sony? Because Sony adds quality, value, and artistic expression to the basic advantage of digital photography--not just replacing film, but enhancing creative possibilities and expanding technology horizons. The new Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 camera combines high-resolution 6.0-megapixel performance and compact design with the appeal of traditional rangefinder shooting, so both first-time buyers and step-up photography enthusiasts will have a camera that's equally adept at saving their memories and capturing their vision. Quality, convenience, and aesthetic excellence--they've been Sony advantages throughout its 60-year leadership in consumer electronics.Style, Simplicity, and Performance The DSC-W50 combines sleek metal body and compact design with new high-tech features for image quality and operating convenience. Super-sharp 6.0-megapixel resolution delivers more detail when you're cropping or making big prints. Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) combine to produce sharp images even in low-light conditions. And Sony's original Clear RAW NR processing circuitry minimizes the color noise distortion of high-sensitivity shooting.A Screen that Shows More The extra-large 2.5-inch LCD screen of the DSC-W50 not only gives you a big, bright image for setting up shots and checking results, it also displays a convenient camera Function Guide, with text and icons for easy-to-operate features like color and brightness adjustments, image size, flash and self-timer modes, focusing modes and more. The DSC-W-50 even provides an eye-level viewfinder for traditional shooting. Everything You Need for Great Results Despite its compact size, the DSC-W50 incorporates shooting features every digital photographer wants--32 MB2 Internal Memory for capturing images in-camera without a flash memory card, built-in slot for optional Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO Duo media, and Stamina Lithium Ion battery with enough power to capture up to 390 shots3. 6.0-Megapixel Super HAD CCD Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for making large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.Extra-Large 2.5-Inch LCD Screen The DSC-W50 has a bigger, brighter 2.5-inch LCD screen for setting up and viewing images--with a one-touch "Play" button that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.Simple Controls, Function Guide User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide text/icon display help you set up camera functions for terrific shots--and you'll have greater creative freedom to adjust color mode (including "Natural" for subtle colors and "Rich" for more intense colors), sensitivity, brightness, and image size.High Sensitivity Mode A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows you to shoot with great results in low-light conditions--and Sony's original Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress the color noise that can accompany high-senstivity shooting.Carl Zeiss 3x Optical/2x Digital Zoom 3x optical zoom helps the DSC-W50 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots for better composition; Sony's precision 2x digital zoom provides an additional 2x magnification to enlarge details without jagged edges.Stamina Battery Power With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W50 can capture up to 390 images--enough for a whole vacation. The compact BC-CSG battery charger is also supplied for battery recharging on the go.13x Smart Zoom Feature At VGA resolution, Sony's Smart Zoom feature intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution--avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.Capture Images In-Camera With 32 MB of internal memory, the DSC-W50 allows you to shoot without a flash memory card--then transfer your images to optional Memory StickDuo media, upload to your computer, or make prints on your digital printer.Memory Stick Duo Media The DSC-W50 has a built-in slot for optional Memory StickDuo or higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media--the ultra-compact media for shooting, storing, and sharing your photo images. MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode The DSC-W50 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio-video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

Review: Don't let the size fool you!!! - Since these ultra-compact, high megapixel cameras began coming out, I've been looking to upgrage my 3 year old Toshiba with not only something I could carry in my pocket, but one that would also provide the option of high image quality and ease of use with carry-anywhere convenience. After owning this camera for a week, I think I've found it! This is one very slick little camera. It's the size of a deck of playing cards. Startup is quick, the menu is pretty easy to navigate (even with little or no instruction), and the size is such that you can slide it in your front pocket and forget it's even there. The 2.5-inch LCD screen on the back is really sweet. I haven't had time to even really scratch the surface as far as all the other features of this baby. But I can tell you that if you're like me and are not a complete camera or photo guru, yet still appreciate quality, ease of use, and convenience, this is one you should consider. I found the best price ($[...] delivered) through desertcart from Ace Digital Club. I ordered it Sunday night and had it Wednesday. I also got the Sony LCS-CST case (PERFECT for this camera, $[...] delivered) through desertcart from Continental Trading Co., and a 1GB stick of the new Sony Memory Stick Duo Pro High Speed memory for $[...] delivered from Ebay. For right around $[...] total, I've got one sweet camera, more memory than I'll probably ever need, and good protection to keep this baby safe! Well worth every penny if you ask me.
Review: Problem within 24 hrs of use - I am taking out some of my precious time in Maui in the balcony of my beach hotel after having a stressful altercation with the Sony customer service dept. I bought this camera from desertcart just 2 weeks back and started using it just 2 days back when I got to Hawaii for my year end vacation. This is my 1st time here and I thought I will get the best of pictures with this portable and nice looking camera. I had not even taken 150 pictures when I had a problem with it. I was watching hula dances last night and took several pictures with the camera. Then put the camera in my pocket (which is one of its benefits in being a thin camera). 5 mins later, I took the camera out and turned it on and got a message on the screen "Access" and then several beeps with the message " Turn camera off and then on" on the LCD screen. I thought this was because the battery was dying. Came to the room at night and put the battery on charging. Got up at 2 am (as I was to leave for a 38 mile bike ride down the Haleakala trail down hill), put the battery in, turned on the camera and lo.. the same 2 messages. My heart sank right then. I called customer support when I got back telling them the situation and the term "customer support" really had no meaning anymore. They were obstinate and all they said was buy a disposable camera and send the camera back for repair when you get back from Hawaii. No compensation. Believe me ... its not easy to get stuff cheap in Hawaii. So I have no option but to go and buy another digital camera from Walmart (couple hrs drive from my hotel). Then get back home and send this one for repairs. Irony is that I bought this camera from desertcart after reading the 52 good reviews on this site before mine. So to let you all good people know ... nothing is perfect. watch out. have a back up plan when you go to an isolated place this Dec for your Christmas break, else you will end up spending some more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good camera, resistant and long lasting battery
*by D***A on July 20, 2008*

I bought this camera through amazon.com two years ago, and I still use it a lot. I bought a more advanced model of the panasonic lumix one because I wanted to try a different brand (nothing really bad ever happened to this one, I just wanted a newer one). It is indeed a good camera, and I took amazing pictures of it, plus the videos. It comes with a built in mic, which is good, and the battery runs out pretty slow, which is great. I cant remember how many times I may have dropped it and it is still sturdy and fine. The pictures come out good, except when there is very little lights, then, it may get blurry. The other con is that even though it says it corrects red eyes, it never did the job well, but I dont know if that is common or not with other brands too (also, I like altering the pictures myself, so the red eyes ain't that big of a deal, I would say). It is definitely NOT the best camera in the world, but if you're looking for something practical, small and handy, this one can be the one. The 7.2 MP model sold much more, and it is the exact same camera with a bit more definition.
