Sony Cybershot DSCW300 - Pros and Cons
To start off, I must say that I was intrigued by some reviews I read, where people were comparing the DSCW300 against several Canon models and complaining about how colorful the ones taken with Canon were. This is true, but they were only comparing out of the box default color settings: increase the image sharpness on the Sony and you will get the same quality, if not even better. Sony supersedes Canon with the three stepped DRO (Dynamic Range Optimization): off, normal and extra, yielding a great palette of colors in both shady and well lit areas of a picture.
I particularly love the Extra High Speed Burst setting, with which you can shoot 5 fps in continuous mode. I took a picture of my 5 year old son running in our backyard and the pictures came out still, as if he wasn't moving: absolutely no signs of blur!
Featured with an image sensor of 13.6 MP, this gadget provides enough resolution for all amateur photographers' needs. Just make sure you buy a flash SD memory card, or else you will find that the disk space gets filled up in no time. Keep in mind that a photo at this maximum resolution can take between 5 and 6 megabytes. I bought two 16 GB flash cards, so whenever I run out of disk space I will have a spare one. And I always make sure I download the images off the spare card on my laptop, so one card is always free, while the other is in the camera.
Sony Cybershot DSCW300 - Pros and ConsI also fell in love with this camera because of its size. It's so small and light that I can carry it around in my jacket pocket without any sign of discomfort. I would also recommend getting the carrying case for DSC cameras (code LCS-TWB). Don't worry that the camera is not in the compatibility list, it fits in like a glove. I believe it is about the same size as its predecessors and was released after the leather bag. I got one for my camera, since carrying it in the pocket can get it scratched.
The only downside I could see with this camera is that you cannot zoom while recording a video clip. You can, however, define your level before you start recording and zoom in or out digitally during the shooting.
