Pros:
Classy design. Fast boot-up and shutdown. |
 |
Cons:
Terrible noise. Incorrect pixels. Exclusively supports Memory Stick Duo. Subpar logic leads to camera-shake and underexposures. No ISO-1600. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
 |
| While the Cyber-shot DSC-S780 is one of Sony's lower-end cameras, it still disappoints in terms of interface, features and image quality. The camera looks nice but has a stubborn zoom control and a small LCD screen. It has face detection and burst shooting, but only 3x zoom and no image stabilization. The camera's noise management is very poor, and in low-lighting we often saw specks of incorrect colors marring our photographs. The DSC-S780 is at least relatively cheap, but we've seen other cheap cameras perform better. |
