Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 12 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Silver)
Customer Review: You can be photography stupid and still get great shots!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have resisted going digital for years. Back in the 1970s and 80s I shot thousands of photos with an SLR that had a very good lens. Prints eventually gave way to slides to save on money. All of them eventually were relegated to the desk drawers or in rarely opened albums. The camera even went on the shelf. I wanted to spend my money on things other than Kodak and Fuji. When digital came along I went counter to the culture. I could see the cost sense with no film to buy and develop, but everyone was shooting what I always called snapshots of people's heads blocking real subject-matter or poorly constructed photographic images of highly unintelligible subjects with rotten lenses. You know what I mean, generally worthless pictures. Now I am older, more sentimental and soon off to Italy. I want shots of my friends in unusual places, the food, the land, the chefs, the farmers, grapes on-the-vine, cut cheese, wrinkled faces, mountains, rivers, sculptures - detail! After only a few dozen shots with this camera set on automatic, I am astounded at the detail, the contrast, the absolute perfect interpretation of the subject matter without touching a single setting. Buy it and love your subjects - love the fact that you will be able to revisit them with all the passion and stirring of soul that you had when you first saw them. Buy the 8 gig Memory Stick ProDuo as well and you will have room for thousands of shots and hours of video. Enjoy.
