This is a great pocket camera. I own 4 of these cameras and always have one with me. My best camera is an A-6000 Sony, but I put it safely away in bad weather and use this camera. This DSC-W830 takes great photos as long as you are close to the subject. The picture quality rivals much more expensive cameras.

it was a gift for my Mom, but I played with it before giving it to make sure it as user friendly for her. she never has a good camera so for her birthday I decided to get her one. its great, You can even enlarge the font on the screen so she can see it better. I only wish I had one for me.

I purchased this Sony CyberShot camera to replace my previous CyberShot. It is a very nice compact camera that goes anywhere! It takes great photos and programs itself nicely for the environment ~ an attractive feature. It does seem to take longer to process photos than my previous camera, but I am starting to get accustom to the delay. All-in-all, it was well worth the price.

We got this camera to have so we could take better quality pictures of our newborn. Phones do a great job for most things, but for pictures that can't be replaced we felt this was a better option. Cameras have somewhat gotten less popular due to the increase in phone camera quality but this still beats a phone! Great point and shoot for the amateur photographer.

I took this camera to San Francisco recently and got some fine photos with it. The only problem I had was the sun shining on the back of the camera so that it was a bit hard to see exactly what I was photographing. Other than that, I enjoyed using it. It was a great instrument to have with me as it is very small and takes excellent pictures.

Nice compact camera, feels a little flimsy but easy to use. I wasn't happy with smartphone camera quality so finally bought this. Shorter battery life than I expected when taking video, but certainly easy enough to recharge thru USB cable. Good value for the money.

This camera is used daily to photograph shipments out in the field and in a warehouse. It has performed very well and the battery life is really good. The menu takes a little getting used to and is not as user friendly as other comparable cameras.
I would recommend this camera to others and actually bought 2.

This is a great small point & shoot. It is small size, good print quality and easy to use.
Like all small non-viewfinder cameras, it is not easy to set the menu in sunlight. Intelligent auto works fine and most should just leave it there. I did set to P mode for center weighted focus. I particularly like the fact that battery charging doesn't require removal of the battery from the camera.

Is nice and compact, seems easy to use. Has fairly easy controls for various adjustments like ISO, over/under expose, resolution. Has extra "gimmicky" things but missing sunset (I use underexpose to bring out the color.) I like being able to pull the SD card to load pictures in my computer. Don't have to reset date. I guess I need to hunt for aspect ratio. Am used to the 2x3 (4x6) as for common size prints. Close up seems to be in the "easy" setup and then is automatic. Otherwise may miss the focus on near object like a flower. It is nice to zoom when on video.

Camera takes great pictures. Compact in size, so easy to take along. Only issue is that you have to use the memory card to upload to your computer versus using a USB cable. Continuously playing the with card increases the potential for damage to it.
