Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Cybershot DSC-W220 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black)
Customer Review: Easy to Use - High Quality Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera as a gift for my in-laws. They are in their mid-60's and they have owned digital cameras in the past. However, they were not looking for something that would require a lot retraining on how to use a "new" camera. Enter DSC-W220 with its sleek look and straight-forward controls. My in-laws were knowledgeable about the cameras usage in just a few minutes.
While the camera is easy to use it does not skimp on performance. Mind-you this is not a camera your going to see used by photo journalist, but it is more than adequate for most families. The features that we enjoyed
- Giant viewable screen - essentially the entire back of the camera is a viewing screen.
- Picture capture is very fast
- The DSC-W220 is "Smart" and makes it very easy to capture pictures regardless of the light condition, required shutter speed and other factors.
- 12.1 MegaPixels is a giant file and will let you get very highquality prints even at large sizes.
- The battery can be removed and (using the included adapter) plugged directly into a wall outlet - the in-laws really apprecaited the ease of this feature.
Final VErdict - A great value on a easy-to-use high quality camera. This is a camera for the masses.

I bought this camera new on sale for $129.00. Before this camera, I had a basic point and shoot Olympus for about 3 yrs and wanted a better, faster camera. This sony camera takes pictures in about 1 second or less, so it was just what I was looking for. The screen size is big and the buttons are in a good area so that I never press anything accidentally. It always takes sharp, clear pictures with good color. However, if you don't use the flash, there might be a slightly yellow tint. The camera settings are pretty basic, nothing really special. My only "problem" is that it's pretty loud so I can't really take too many candid shots because you can hear the camera turn on at even the lowest volume. I haven't found a mute button so far, but that would have been nice for me since I don't always like the beeping it makes when you switch from picture to picture. Other than that, its a very good camera. One warning I'd like to give is that it only takes the Sony memory stick, which I did not realize my computer wasn't compatible with. It comes with a usb cable that can hook up to your computer in this case, but I don't like using a lot of cables so I'm going to opt for a card reader.Customer Review: Easy to use, and great features!

We have 14 of these camera's in use in our surgery center, I choose and purchase all our cameras. Last year we went through an exhaustive search to see if Nikon, Canon, Kodack, and several other brands would work as well as our Sony's that we've used for the last 4 years. After purchasing several cameras to try them out, we decided to stay with Sony, due to ease of use and reliability. After reading the reviews we choose the DSC-W220, and replaced all our surgery and skin graphing camera's with these. We are thrilled, they are extremely easy to use and yet give us incredibly detailed photos. Each camera takes about 1000 photos a month, and these have been real champs so far. We have had no problems, and even our newest most camera-shy nurses have taken to them very easily.
If your looking for a powerful, lots of functions, easy to use camera at a good price, I'd definitely recommend this one.
Customer Review: nice little camera
Summary: 5 Stars
i purchased Sony Cybershot DSC-W220 to replace my old fuji 5.0. i am happy with the peformance and it is small enough to fit in the jean pocket.
its nicely built, been using if for two months regularly, and i have no complains so far
i have the 16GB sd card, so there is lot of room to store hi resolution picture before running to my laptop to download it. Plus the video in 720 are great !!!!!!! considering what this little camera is capable of.
I would have been more pleased if the zoom option was available in the video mode too. but again, i mostly use this to take hi mp pictures.
this product truly deserves 5 stars...

Sorry, this isn't an in-depth review. After my in laws came back from the Grand Canyon with horrible pictures from his 1.2 megapixel camera, my wife figured it was time for an update. It works well and is easy to use when we borrow it. My father in law who isn't too technical with new gadgets was able to use it without a hitch. Great build quality and haven't had one single problem with it. My father in law was impressed with the quality of the pictures, along with my brother in law who has a little older model sony. I wish it took standard SD cards, but it looks like the newer sonys are.
