 Favorite Camera Ever!!Jul 12, 2010
Although I received this camera as a gift in 2004 ... I still have never found another digital camera I like as well. It is easy to use and takes great pictures. I have purchased (2) new cameras for my children ... a 9mp and a 10mp (not Sony) and my Sony still takes the best pictures in the house. Don't know what I'll do if it ever stops working. It has been a very durable camera and I love the video mode when I have to take short videos as I dont have to haul video camera with me too.
Great quality!
DSC-W1Jan 05, 2009
Great camera although a little slow when taking pictures in low light conditions. I got a kick out of the bad review from Dec 22, 2006. The same thing happened to my DSC-W1, although it is not megaPixels dying. The dark spots are caused by dirt trapped inside the camera from using it in a dusty location. I had mine cleaned (including CCD) and the dark spots are now gone.
 Dead Mega pixels after 1 year....Dec 22, 2006
You got it... I loved this camera until I was on vacation in New Zealand and my mega pixels started to die. Yes, within two weeks of the first one dying... three of the mega pixels died leaving me with these nasty looking black circles in all of my shots. I sent it back to have it repaired and they told me it would be the same price as buying a new camera. So... after a year of a decent camera, I found it just didn't last for the money. I am back on the market for a new camera. I wouldn't recommend it because of that purpose and the cost of having it repaired after a year when it could also break. On the plus side, I loved that it was black and could fit in my pocket.
