Pros:
Mode wheel. Pinhole viewfinder. Optical image-stabilization. |
 |
Cons:
Subpar lens with fuzzy performance. Only supports Memory Sticks. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 offers optical image-stabilization, face detection and a smile shutter, but unfortunately it skimps on the lens. Face detection is great, but not when the detected face ends up blurry. The DSC-W130 simply isn't a very sharp camera, to the point that we wouldn't recommend using it for landscapes or any sort of photography that involves broad detail across the entire image. Other than that Achille's heel, the camera looks and feels nice, and Sony has given it a clean interface. The bottom line is that the DSC-W130 is serviceable for still lifes and up-close subjects, but just not that usable for wide-angle shots. |
