I fell for all the “good” reviews on the product here and purchased one of my own.
I used to be a Sony fan. I would only purchase Sony cameras, my last camera was a DSC-S600 6MP (Sony Cybershot), and I was excited to purchase a new camera after my old camera broke. After using this camera, I will never buy another Sony again. The Sony’s back in the day were made with great quality, but it seems like the only thing Sony has going on for them now is their brand and not their actual products.
The pictures are really grainy in any situation. The subjects do not have strong edges and everything is really fuzzy. The only way you can get “okay” quality pictures out of this camera is if you take Macros, but even those are full of noise. If you like crisp and clear pictures of your subjects, then this camera is not for you.
My old Sony was Made in Japan, but this one is Made in China, maybe this has some significance as to why the quality is so cheap. It feels really cheap to the touch and it has a poorly made shell.
My old Camera 6MP, takes hands down clearer and better pictures than this camera. Even though this camera is advertised under 10.1 MP, really you will be investing in a 2-3MP Camera.
Save yourself the trouble and hassle of dealing with a poor camera and go with Canons instead.
The mobile phone industry is a fast changing one. We started out with analog phones and now we have smart phones which basically do everything for us. In terms of features; mp3 players, video players and cameras are incorporated in mobile phones nowadays. Not to mention the connectivity features which include Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS capability and Bluetooth. There a lot of mobile phones out there in the market, so you really have to know what you want to purchase the right one that suits you and your lifestyle.
The future is indeed bright for someone who is looking for both a mobile phone and a trusty digital camera in one package. Sony Ericsson Sony Cybershot DSC-W170/R Camera recently launched the Sony Ericsson C905, the world’s first 8.0 megapixel camera phone. Inspired by the Sony Cybershot product line, which was highly successful so the Sony Ericsson team decided to incorporate the cybershot’s features in a mobile phone. Thus, the C905 was born.
The camera phone also provides face recognition of up to three people, autofocus, digital image stabilization and geotagging. The camera’s viewfinder is a 2.4 inch QVGA screen which is scratch proof. The camera has both a camera and xenon flash. The Sony Ericsson C905 is capable of shooting images up to a maximum of 3264 x 2448 megapixels and you can zoom up to 16x.
The camera function is very user-friendly, with a long press on the camera shutter key, you can start the camera already and slide down the cover to expose the lens and you can now click away and take photos to your heart’s content.
If you open the camera cover, all the features are revealed. There’s the camera lens, xenon flash, mirror for self-portrait, video light and microphone for videos.
The Sony Ericsson C905 surely packs up a lot of punch in one flawlessly crafted package. This mobile phone will definitely give the other camera phones and digital cameras a run for their money.

This is a major upgrade from my antiquated 2 MP Canon Powershot camera. I’m simply thrilled by the sharpness and quality of the pictures this compact camera captures! At the highest resolution, the amount of detail this camera picks up is phenomenal (as long as you’re in a sufficiently illuminated setting).
There are three major reasons why I picked the Sony DSC-W170 over other brands/models of cameras. (1) This camera has a 28 to 140mm wide angle lens to capture a wider field of view for establishing the context of the subject or subjects in the shot. (2) The 5x optical zoom lens enable impressive close-ups (3) The image stabilization helps to keep your subject properly framed even if you have shaky hands like mine.
The camera also takes macro shots. The clarity, sharpness, and detail of the macro shots is astounding. I’m having a lot of fun with this – You can actually get real creative with this!
You can also take videos at 30 fps (480 x 640 resolution) with this camera. I should caution you about an inaccuracy in the product description. As of this writing, the product description reads “the length of your video limited only by the capacity of your media.” DO NOT BE MISLED! Like all point-and-shoot cameras that are video-capable, the length of the video on the DSC W-170 is limited to 10 minutes. You would need to restart the video after every 10 minutes if you wish to continue shooting.
The Sony Cybershot is, of course, not exempt to the problem that’s inherent in all compact cameras — “noise” in low light conditions. The problem is more pronounced in compact cameras than in dSLR cameras.
In case you’re deciding between this and the 8.1 MP DSC-W150 — my friend owns a DSC-W150 and I can see that this camera produces significantly better quality pictures.
A quick word on memory cards – You can actually use a regular microSD card with this camera if you use a microSD card to MS Pro Duo Adapter (such as this one). It’s worked very well for me.

As far as compact cameras are concerned, the Sony Cybershot DSC-W170 is about as good as it gets. If you’re looking for a compact camera that you can easily slip in your purse or backpack, you can’t go wrong with the DSC-W170.
Great camera! Small size easy to take places. I appreciate the eyeview for picture taking in the sun.
I bought this camera for my wife. We only used the camera occasionally since normally, we use my Digital SLR. Recently, it started taking picture with a blur and orange tint. I thought it was camera shake and low lighting but that was not the case. So much for the $300 we spent.
