Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 review


Full name: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55

Statistics: 3x Zoom, 7 Megapixels, 38mm to 114mm

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 goes for function rather than form. It weighs 5.1 ounces, is slim enough to fit in your jean pocket, and the buttons are large and visible.


"The DSC-W55 performed quite well in our lab tests, starting up in only 1.3 seconds and firing off shots every 1.4 seconds thereafter. With the flash enabled, that interval increased to 1.7 seconds, still an impressively short wait. In bright light, the shutter responded quickly for its class, lagging only 0.5 second.

With our low-contrast target, however, that time tripled to 1.5 seconds. Burst mode also lagged, snapping four full-resolution photos in 2.9 seconds for a disappointing frame rate of 1.3 shots per second.

Overall, we found the DSC-W55's photos clear and pleasing. Despite the slight softening of some finer details, photos looked crisp. Colors generally reproduced well, though users should remember to switch to the tungsten white-balance setting when shooting indoors -- the W55's automatic white balance fared poorly in our difficult tungsten-lit test shots, rendering harsh and yellow."(CNN Tech, April 5, 2007)

Overall, the DSC-W55 is a easy to use, fully functional snapshot camera. It won't blow you away with any of it's features, but if your looking for a responsive, reasonably priced (around $220) camera, it's worth the money.

Overall: 83 out of 100
