Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 - Review @ Steve’sDigicams
Steve’sDigicams have reviewed the Sony CyberShot DSC-W50, a 6.0 megapixel (CCD) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens (38 - 114mm equivalent), and a 2.5″ LCD Screen.
“The Sony Cyber-shot W50 is a good all-around performer. Weighing-in at just under 6 ounces (including battery and Memory Stick Duo), the W50 is both pocketable and stylish while still providing the optical viewfinder that its competitors frequently omit. With very good image quality, 6-megapixels of resolution, versatile sensitivity range, high-quality movies and an MSRP of under $250, the Sony DSC-W50 is a very good value.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W30 - Review @ Steve’sDigicams
Steve’sDigicams has just posted a review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-W30, a 6.0 megapixel (CCD) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens (38 - 114mm equivalent), and a 2.0″ LCD Screen.
“I was pleased with the image quality of the W30’s 6M Fine mode. Outdoor images were well-exposed and sharp with true to life colors. Indoor shots are limited to small rooms and small group portraits because of the W30’s limited flash range (13 feet at wide angle) and the lens limited field of view at its full 38mm wide angle. Portraits had realistic skin tones, but the red eye reduction flash mode proved only marginally effective because of its relatively weak power. “

“The camera performed well in the lab, putting up good numbers in several categories. Resolution is Extremely High from ISO 64 to ISO 400, and Very High at ISO 800. Color Accuracy is High (Average Delta E: 10.54, ISO 64, Auto White Balance), Noise is Very Low at ISO 64 (1.4), Low at ISO 100 (1.75), Moderately Low at ISO 200 (2.37), Moderate at ISO 400 (2.66), and Moderately Low at ISO 800 (2.35)…”

Sony CyberShot DSC-W50 - Review @ CNET
CNET has recently posted a review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-W50, a 6.0 megapixel (CCD) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens (38 - 114mm equivalent), and a 2.5″ LCD Screen.
“As we said about the DSC-W30, the photos have decent exposure and dynamic range, without the blown-out highlights produced by many cameras in this class. Colors are accurate but slightly oversaturated, especially the reds and oranges. Noise is the biggest issue with these models: while barely visible at ISO 80, smearing from the noise-reduction algorithm becomes evident at ISO 200 and starts to develop severe color shifts at ISO 400 and beyond. It’s better than nothing if you can’t use the flash, however.”

Sony CyberShot DSC-W30 - Review @ CNET
CNET has just posted a review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-W30, a 6.0 megapixel (CCD) point-and-shoot digital camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens (38 - 114mm equivalent), and a 2.0″ LCD Screen. The camera gets 6.8 out of 10 and here’s what CNET has to say regarding its image quality;
“We’re very impressed with this camera’s photos. They come out well exposed under a variety of lighting conditions, with lots of detail in the shadows and highlights. The DSC-W30 doesn’t blow out whites as much as many other cameras in its class. It produces neutral but highly saturated hues, especially in the reds and the oranges. The most serious image problem was noise. While it’s barely visible at ISO 80, you can start to see smearing from the noise reduction at ISO 200 and discolorations at ISO 400 and beyond.”

Sony DSC-N1 - Review @ Megapixel
Megapixel reviewed the Sony DSC-N1, an 8.0 Megapixel (CCD) point-and-shoot digital camera with 3x zoom lens (38-114mm equivalent in 35mm) and a 3″ TFT touch screen. They wrote:
“The N1 yields images that are nothing short of excellent, especially when these are captured under full sun. The images show no sign of chromatic aberration, no barrel distortion with subjects at standard distances — a little bit of distortion is sometimes observable when the subject is shot in macro mode — and no pincushion distortion at the telephoto end. Sharpness is also excellent right across the frame, and is uniformly good irrespective of the focal length.
Positives: Excellent image quality, No noise at 64 and 100 ISO, Touch screen system, 3-inch LCD monitor, Fast to operate and responsive, Capable of long exposures.
Negatives: Touch screen keys should have presented the most commonly needed settings, Black monitor trim too reflective, Flash underpowered.”

“Pros: Attractive design, well-built and compact, Good-quality lens, High contrast, slightly limited tonal range on the shadow end, Good shutter lag and autofocus response times, AF assist lamp allows accurate focusing in very dark conditions, Good exposure accuracy, generally less positive compensation required than average, ISO 400 performance is a bit better than average, (marginally) usable for 8×10 inch prints
Cons: Very “tight” optical viewfinder, shows only 80% or less of the final image area, Flash recycles a little slowly, Some image noise even at low ISO, but most users won’t notice it, ISO 800 and 1,000 images are quite noisy. (ISO 1,000 shots are only usable for 4×6 inch prints.), Maximum one-second shutter time limits low-light capabilities, High barrel and pincushion distortion”
