Pontos Fortes: Quick on/off, minimum shutter lag, sharp pictures, good video, larger LCD, small size.
Pontos Fracos: Manual mode not flexible, only two aperture settings for each particular zoom setting.
Resumo: Comparing the DSC-W1 to the couples of digital cameras I used before, my feeling is that this camera has quick on/off; fast auto focus even in the dark; quite sharp pictures and true color saturation in normal conditions, white balance did help in different lighting conditions to get natural colors tone. The video quality in 640X480 30F/s is excellent with tripod. The larger 2.5" LCD is a big plus for me because it make it much easier to see all the settings comparing to 1.5" or 1.8" LCDs unless you have very good eye sight. I also like the AA NiMH batteries and its life. The camera is small and easy to carry around, but a little bit heavy.
The down side: there is no fast action sport mode, to shoot fast action you need manual mode. However, the manual mode is limited. it allows you only two aperture settins in different zoom: Wide angle f2.8/5.6; Tele f5.2/f10; and there are some other settings between for example f3.8/f8.3 ... for zoom in between.

Pontos Fortes: Huge LCD screen makes taking photos and movies much easier, likewise viewing and editing is much easier, very easy to operate, great movies and pictures, good printed manual
Pontos Fracos: Software is good only for copying files to the PC and making a CD, really pathetic
Resumo: I had planned to buy a more complicated camera, the Olympus 5060WZ. However when I saw this one I liked the features and after using the heck out of it for 2 days, so far it performs great. The Olympus is really intended for experienced photographers. If you're looking for something in between point & shoot and a camera like the 5060, get this one - you won't regret it. [I'll update this after I've used it for awhile longer.]

Pontos Fortes: Fast picture-to-picture speed.
Large LCD.
High quality construction.
Some manual settings, and optional lenses.
Extremely high quality video.
Pontos Fracos: Taking indoor pictures need some manual adjustments.
Resumo: I need to use the flash in many indoor siutations, even though it seems fairly bright. Also, the flash may not turn on even though a fuzzy icon flashes. The fuzzy icon shows up to warn the user when the camera selects a low shutter speed, which may cause fuzziness in the picture if the camera is not set on a tripod.

Pontos Fortes: Huge LCD, price for 5MP camera (pd $354 w/ shipping off Newegg.com), image quality, ergonomics, little if any lag after pressing shutter, compact, not forced to buy Mem Stick Duo Pro
Pontos Fracos: not quite as small as the T1 but going by reviews, this is the better choice due to flash capability and few other things; ONLY other weaknesses=MY knowledge..more controls than I know what 2 do with!
Resumo: Love love love!!! Given, I am not what is called an "enthusiast", as I don't know how to do all the manual adjustments, such as aperture, focus, shutterspeed. However, I am an avid digital pic taker. I previously owned a Sony DSC-S75 which had gotten too bulky although I loved the pics it took as well. Have not been disappointed with this camera in the least!! Newegg.com offers great pricing an delivered it almost immediately...had the camera literally 3 days later w/ regular shipping! The huge LCD is such a selling point and makes it so much easier! In just using the automatic functions, you will get great crisp vivid pictures. I bought a Digipower charger and 4 NiMH batteries from Provantage.com for $27, incl shipping....cheapest around. I wouldn't buy any accessories off ebay (route I normally take) - were more expensive there actually.
In short, I did alot of research. This is an exceptional little camera. Although I wanted the 5MP Sony T1 at onset due to the "coolness factor", I am not disappointed in the least with my purchase. The only other camera I was considering was the Canon S500 - highly comparable, but things like the LCD screen difference and the W1 being $150 cheaper won out in the end.

Pontos Fortes: Large LCD viewfinder, uses AA batteries, compact, 5.1MP
Pontos Fracos: Stock Memory Stick is only 32MB. Flash is a little weak.
Resumo: This is my first digital camera. The W1's 2.5" LCD is great for viewing shots on the go. You can pan around and zoom in on your shots looking at the LCD viewfinder to see even more detail.
The jury is still out on action and night shots which I find are the hardest to take with this camera. The weak flash and my inexperience have made it a challenge to getting a good shot. Daytime shots and stills look great.

Pontos Fortes: Resolution is excellent for a point and shoot camera. Battery life is very good.
Pontos Fracos: i did not find any weakenesses for this point and shoot camera.
Resumo: I never thought that this point and shoot camera will give you such an excellent resolution. I did not find any image distortion at high resolution. I love the battery life too. For over two hundred shots, i never had a problem with a single charge on the batteries. One thing i love this one too is you can use a AA batteries. The flash is good too using at low light should not be a problem.

Pontos Fortes: The camera has a super fast on/off, camera is ready to take pictures in about 3 seconds. Button placement seems to be fine, nothing too out of place. 2.5" screen makes it really nice to review picture
Pontos Fracos: Only comes with a 32mb Memory stick which will get you 12 pictures at 5MP.
Resumo: I have been waiting to get this camera for some time now, i was thinking about the V1 but decided to wait for this, i am not disappointed in the least. This camera is easy to use, uses rechargable AA batteries or standard AA batteries. The camera also has a very quick on and off power up/down, this camera is ready to take pictures in about 3 or 4 seconds. The only thing i have not like in this camera is that it only comes with a 32MB Memory Stick, which will get 12 pics @ 5MP, but i guess you can't expect them to give you a 256MB Memory Stick Pro card (which i highly recommend).

Pontos Fortes: over 5 megapixels, great picture quality, good zoom, you can make movies, its easy to use, nice and compact,2.5 LCD screen which is huge compared to the average 1 or 1.5, and great features!
Pontos Fracos: there are no weaknesses at all... everything about this camera you will love!
Resumo: I would recommend this camera to anybody because it has everything you want in a point and shoot camera. I have been researching digital cameras for years now and I know a lot about them. This camera is top of the chart with its sleek and compact design and with 5 megapixels your pictures will always turn out great! It is fast and easy to use and it has a lot of settings to choose from. If you choose this camera you will not be sorry!! I hope that I have helped you and your decision and this camera!

Pontos Fortes: The large LCD monitor is great. The battery life is very good. Uses two AA batteries and AA rechargeable batteries.
Pontos Fracos: none.
Resumo: I received the camera today and was very impressed at the picture quality and how easy the camera is to figure out. I played around with the camera and figured out most of the features/functions without even reading the manual and this is my first camera. I am very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Pontos Fortes: 2.5" LCD screen, ease of use, long battery life
Pontos Fracos: Need to purchase a larger memory stick (256 mb at least). The software is basic.
Resumo: This is an excellent camera, that all my family has enjoyed, from age 6 up. It is easy to use. You will need to experiment with the mode settings some. I have mostly used the standard auto-focus setting, but have used the moonlight modes, also, very successfully in low light, night time situations. We are all novice photographers, so we have not even tried the manual settings, but I believe they are a little basic for advanced users. The large LCD is a pleasure to use in taking and reviewing photos. We have not had problems seeing in sunlight, and have used at the beach. Night settings worked good on fireworks, also. It is quick to open and shoot, but be sure to hold the button halfway down to focus before trying to take a picture, to speed up the picture. You need to be especially still using the night settings, and might find a small tripod useful in these situations. Reviewing the photos on your TV is fun. I purchased a 256 mb memory stick, since it only comes with a 32 mb. The 32 holds about 15 full quality pictures, and the 256 holds 100 - 115 full quality pictures. The battery life is excellent. I took the camera on vacation and used it for almost 2 weeks and 114 shots, and still had some battery life left. The movie mode gives an excellent picture, but you will need a large memory stick to take many movies. We love this camera. This is our first quality digital camera and the photos are excellent in color and resolution.

Pontos Fortes: Slim and EZ to carry around.
Pontos Fracos: Not sure flash is stong enough
Resumo: This is my 3rd Sony digital camera and so far so good. The ease of using the memory stick is second to none and I can only hope that Sony keeps making better cameras.

Pontos Fortes: Size, 2.5" LCD, You can view the images on your TV, Video Playback with Sound, great picture quality.
Pontos Fracos: 32mb memory card supplied with camera.
Resumo: 2004-06-18 09:27:55 This is my first digital camera.
So far this camera is great. I have used it a couple of times. I filled my 32mb memory card up right away. It only held around 14 pics at the high resolution (5MP). I am buying a 256mb memory card today. The pictures I have taken so far, (inside & out) came out great. The LCD screen was a little hard to see in direct sun light,( but I hear this is the case with all digital cameras). The pictures outside still came out great.
I went to pricegrabber.com and found the lowest price at the time (384.00 + 8.95 shipping). I bought this as soon as it came out in the beginning of June.
I love the big 2.5" LCD Screen.
I will update you more on this camera once I return from my vacation. But so far so good.

 After searching for a replacement camera for my Pe ... Pontos Fortes: large lcd, fast start up, pretty fast multiple shots
Pontos Fracos: slow shutter speed, not very natural colors
Resumo: After searching for a replacement camera for my Pentax 3.2 meg camera I decided on this one.
I shopped around and found a great deal at Fry's, and with a $50 rebate to boot, But...the very first shots I took came out blurred and these were stills of my grandkids...well almost stills !
I rechecked the auto mode controls, same thing.
Also, the colors very not as natural looking as my
original camera.
By the way I took identical pictures with both cameras to compare, the older Pentax came out clear, no movement in the picture detected.
I was very disapointted and am returning the camera.

After using for a year a PC world top rated Nikon ...
Pontos Fortes: size, LCD, ease use features
Pontos Fracos: nothing but the picture
Resumo: After using for a year a PC world top rated Nikon Coolpix 4300, I decided to upgrade to 5 megapixel. I decide to buy another top rated camera, the W1. Here in Brazil, we don’t have the customer service regularly offered in USA, so I had to take all the risks on trying a new W1 with no capability to return it.
It looked very modern and full of features, with a histogram to do previous analyze of the image, for instance. The problem is the image quality. It has blurry image, I don’t know if it is focusing problem or if it is an defect, but the image its not as sharp as my old Nikon.
Result: I will try to return but probably I will have to sell the camera and look for another camera that can be a nicer replacement for my Nikon 4300.

Pontos Fortes: Very, Very Good Picture Quality, Well calibrated colors and well balanced and bright pictures; Large 2.5" Display; 30 Fps VX video
Pontos Fracos: Software is a garbage; Mem Stick door is a weakest link:
Resumo: I tried to make a decision between Sony W1 and Canon Powershot S500. They both inherited excellent CCD's from Sony V1 and Canon G5, so they are comparable for the most of the features. After comparing reviews and spec of these 2 cameras I decided to go with Sony W1. Larger LCD - MATTERS!!! Plus, I think, Sony W1 has better optics and pictures are more uniformed, brighter. Canon S500 images are noticeably losing sharpness in the corners (judging by test images at www.steves-digicams.com), and smallish 1.5 LCD doesn't help either.
Geezz...! How to make right decision..? :) Well, everyone who is selecting digital camera should realize first what this camera will be used for and what do you want to do with hundreds of images.
I needed camera for taking a lots of images from travel and other nice occasions to create a slideshows and view/display them on the computer monitor ( maybe in future - large screen HDTV ). For this use - camera provides Very Good image quality. I'm not using term "Excellent", because only SLR's Nikon D-70 or Canon Digital Rebel can get you Excellent images (but thy will set you back ~$1300). To me, Sony's W1 5 MPix, simplified features and large LCD, is just right. Of course, it is impossible to build a perfect camera in all aspects, so some things are not perfectly implemented here as well.
I don't like flimsy door for Memstick compartment. User should be careful when inserting or removing memory and remember ALWAYS to close this door right away! If you leave this door open and put it down carelessly on the table, or not so even surfaces - there is great chance that you will break it off. Even though this door serves just as a dust cover for Video out plug, DC-in and Memory Stick slot, and camera will not be broken beyond repair, it is better to be careful and have it in one piece.
W1 optics are Carl Zeiss, but they are a bit inferior to it's older brother V1. Anyway, they doing very good job.
Camera feels a little heavy for it's size. It was strange at first, but I like it now. This actually helps to hold it steady while taking shots.
All Auto presets doing pretty good job. But "Manual" mode allows some freedom to experiment and if you know what you are doing - to get very nice results. Anyone can use this camera.
Of course, like with any digital camera, you will need extra batteries and larger memory card. I wonder, why most of the manufacturers still selling digital cameras with small Mem cards (32 MB) - they are not practical at all. Why not lower price a little and let buyers decide themselves size of the card? (I know that Nikon "got it" and is selling Nikon D-70 without any CF cards). I will get 1 GB MemStick Pro II - to have plenty of room for pictures and chance to take 30 Fps VX movie (1 GB will fit 10+ min video!). VX video quality on regular Memory Stick is just average, but VX should be good.
I use only a 3x optical zoom, because Digital Zoom is not good - distorts image significantly. It makes your 5 Mpix camera image at max resolution look like 1Mp camera or worse... I guess, it is true for digital zoom systems of all manufacturers.
Software on the provided CD is a garbage (literally!). Only useful thing on this disk is an USB driver. But if you have Windows XP (and most people already do) you will not need it. USB driver is needed only for computers with Win98/ME/2000. To editing and resizing images I'm using Ulead PhotoImpact and/or Adobe PhotoshopElements.
It is great to have a regular (not electronic) viewfinder. You can take pictures with LCD off.
I use rechargeable batteries (they last much longer) but even if I run out of them, I think it will be no problem to find regular batteries (unless you are taking pictures far from civilization). Flash of any digital camera "eats" any batteries mercilessly! W1 is no exception.
Build quality is very good. This camera is definitely was designed to last long! Again, image quality is Very Good and I highly recommend it! Among the compact 5 MPix cameras, Sony W1 and Canon Powershot S500 are the best values for the money. Just pick the one you like most.
PS: it was interesting to find that author of the previous review also was comparing W1 and S500...
