 Blurry photosJun 07, 2010
Half the photos were blurry, even on auto mode. Tried everything. Very disappointed.
 Sony DSC-W300, excellent cameraJun 06, 2010
I have a high end digital camera but it's too big to carry with me to catch a casual shot I might run across. I did my homework and chose the Sony 300.
The steady shot gives crisp photos in dim light when the shutter speed is slow. It has the feel of a well constructed camera and the Zeiss lens gives a sharp image from edge to edge.
I bought a leather case for it to protect the finish from scratches and abrasions while being carried around in my pocket or backpack.
I saw a few reviews where owners complained about the tele being only 3X but when designing a zoom lens, the greater the range you give it, the more compromises the designer has to make. I find 3X more than adequate for what the camera was designed to be used for. That is, family, parties, vacation, etc. If I want to do some serious telephoto work I'll bring my other camera along.
I almost took a star away for "ease of use" because there are so many options available to chose from. Then I remembered I could simply put it on the full auto setting and all I have to do is aim it and push the shutter button.
I'm willing to pay a little more for quality and with this camera I feel like I got my money's worth. It has both the look and feel of a high quality camera.
I'm very happy with my purchase.
 Wrong Charger supplied with my cameraApr 24, 2010
The overall quality of the Sony Cybershot DSCW 300 13.6MP looks very good, but unfortunately I can't actually try the camera because Amazon sent me a camera with a battery charger that can't be used in the United States.
In speaking with Sony, I learned that the charger I received is the charger that is used in countries other than the United States or Canada.
Sony has graciously agreed to send me the appropriate charger free of charge.
Battery Life Is HorribleApr 10, 2010
The camera itself is great But I can't ever use it. The battery doesn't hold a charge, It's okay if you plan ahead and pull the battery and charge it up first, but if you need it on a whim the battery is always dead. My old Kodak would stay charged for months and would always be ready when I needed it. Not this camera, I can never rely on this and would never buy another Sony camera again.
a great camera, takes pictures IN FOCUS!Dec 07, 2009
The number and type of features seems very straightforward and easy to use with this camera.
Unlike many "point and shoots", the DSC-W300 actually focuses quickly and accurately.
Light exposure is also done very well.
Sometimes Sony puts out cameras that don't do one of the above so well.
Case in point: DSC-W290.
It frequently takes pictures that are blurry, despite taking too long between the button press and the picture actually being taken (during which time it's supposed to be optimizing the focus, amongst other things). (By the time the picture finally does get taken, whatever you were hoping to capture is probably already over.)
Watch out for Sony's deep discounts on the DSC-W290, it's because relative to it's predecessor the DSC-W300 & some competitor's models, it's a lemon!
