CNET reviews the Sony CyberShot DSC-W170 and writes;
“Images are crisp. Portraits are warm and detailed. The wealth of easily tweakable options in program mode gave us some excellent results, even in low light…The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 and the Casio Exilim EX-Z200 edge it on features and looks, but the W170 is still extremely adaptable.

” This is a decent camera and I am sure the wide angle lens will come in handy for many people. It is easy to use and has the added attraction of a viewfinder. You can also slip this camera into most pockets without a problem. ”

ImagingResource reviews the Sony CyberShot DSC-W170 and writes;
“Despite all the fancy features and the attractive body, what makes the W170 a Dave’s Pick is its image quality. Don’t take a loupe to these 10.1-megapixel images, but print them and you’ll see what we mean. Good color and detail at large print sizes. And that, after all, is what you buy a camera for. ”
