Pontos Fortes: High quality pictures, compact and stylish, 2.5" LCD
Pontos Fracos: Poor bundled software
Resumo: 2004-06-14 16:07:33 This is an ultra-compact 5 Mega pixels camera.
In the bottom line, I am very satisfied from this camera. It looks great, produces decent results, focuses easily even in low light and has an excellent huge LCD screen. Boot-up time is also impressive, about 1 second.
If you want to buy an ultra-compact 5MP camera there 3 options today that clearly stand out for their good image quality: 1) Canon Powershot S500 2) Nikon Coolpix 5200 and 3) Sony DSC-W1.
While the S500 is the a little bit smaller than the other two, it comes with less options (less manual controls, less scene modes). Therefore, my conflict was mainly between the 5200 and the W1.
If you are really concerned about red eyes, go with the 5200 that can fix them automatically (but you can do it with software anyway). The 5200 also seems to have the best ergonomics.
However I preferred the DSC-W1 mainly thanks to its huge 2.5" LCD screen which is larger (in area) by about 270% than the 1.5" screens of the other 2 cameras. It makes it much easier to take photos and to show them (I know the resolution isn't that high, but for previewing pictures or showing them, it's fine). Other advantages of the DSC-W1: shorter boot-up time, use of standard AA batteries, long battery life, expandability (you can add lenses, filters or external flash) and the better price, which makes it one of the best values in digital photography.
The only criticism against this camera is the software supplied by Sony. It is really basic. Other than that, I highly recommend this camera.

Pontos Fortes: 5.1 megapixel, 2.5" lcd
Pontos Fracos: only 32mb card.
Resumo: I did much research on cameras before going with the Sony. Decision was between Canon Powershot s500 and Sony DSCW1. Sony has more features(too many to list), a bigger LCD ( everybody comments on the great size), and around $100 cheaper. Pictures turn out great..highly recommended.

Pontos Fortes: All of it. Size, 2.5 LCD, Quality, features, battery life,on and on.
Pontos Fracos: None for the Camera. Get a larger memory Stick.
Resumo: This is a great little camera . I was a little leary about it at first because I had a casio Qv700 which I was very unhappy with, being that it was my first digital camera. This camera is the best. I love every thing about it. The pictures are outstanding. I love the fact that you can do movies with it. Theres not much that this little hony won't do for the price and quality.If you want a complete system get the sony DDP-F30 priter with it. which is also outstanding just like the camera. You will be very pleased.

Pontos Fortes: Love the 2.5" LCD display and the AA batteries. High quality
construction and design. I replaced a Sony 1.6 MP Mavica with this camera and what a difference!
Pontos Fracos: The software lacks and a memory stick greater than 32 MB should be included.
Resumo: I truly love this camera. I enjoyed my Sony Mavica, but this camera is light years ahead of it. I have yet to purchase a Memory Stick Pro for movies, but so far the still picture quality is excellent with the standard Memory Sticks.

Pontos Fortes: Very versatile camera, includes both automatic and manual functions, large LCD screen, very fast power-up and picture-saving
Pontos Fracos: A bit larger than the ultra-slim DSC-T1 and the compact Canon PowerShot S500 (Digital Elph), memory sticks are expensive
Resumo: This is a great camera! I bought this camera because of the 5.0 megapixels, the Carl Zeiss lens and the large 2.5-inch LCD screen.
5 MILLION PIXELS
Finally, the price of 5-megapixel cameras has gone down enough for the middle-class man to purchase. I've been waiting to upgrade my 3.0 megapixel Sony, and this was the right choice.
CARL ZEISS LENS
For those who think that Sony can only make TVs and stereos, it's time to reconsider. Sony has invested alot of money into their lenses to use the Carl Zeiss name (famous in the hunting world for top-quality rifle scopes). Anyone who understands photography will tell you that the most expensive part of any camera is the lens -- and that the best camera in the world would be useless without a good lens.
LARGE LCD SCREEN
The DSC-W1 has a 2.5-inch LCD screen in the back for you to view pictures and scroll through the menus. This is much bigger than other cameras in its class. I also considered the Canon PowerShot S500, the new 5-megapixel Digital Elph, but chose the W1 because of the price and the LCD screen. The S500 is a bit more compact and easier to carry, but the W1 costs about $100 less, and the S500 LCD screen (1.5 inches) was puny by comparison.
FLEXIBILITY
I am a novice photographer with some education on how manual cameras can increase picture quality. The W1 offers an automatic, point-and-shoot option that I use on the days that I get lazy and don't feel like messing with the aperture and shutter speed. But it also offers the option for you to manual adjust all of that IF YOU WANT. Plus you have the option of buying a lens adjustor to add on additional telephoto or wide-angle lenses or filters. Pretty good for a camera that's competing in the point-and-shoot market.
OVERALL
Overall, I thought that this camera was the best value because of all of the features that it comes with. The only problem with the price is that the memory sticks cost more than Canon's Compact Flash cards. The alternative is to buy SanDisk memory sticks, which are cheaper than Sony.

Pontos Fortes: Huge LCD works every well under the sun..fast start up, long battery life, and it is cheap
Pontos Fracos: stupid memory stick... i got a 256MB pro costed me 50 dollars..
Resumo: best camera on the market so far..
i compared my camera with my cousin's P10, it is way better than p10, W1 is faster,cheaper, longer battery life and pictures are sharper than p10...
if u shake ur hand while u taking the picture, most likely u will get a blurry pictures... but u can adjust the exposure to fix that problem..

Pontos Fortes: Phenomenal Picture Quality
Durable metal construction
2.5 LCD viewing screen
extensive features
AA battery use
Availability of wide angle,telephoto, and filter lenses
Pontos Fracos: Resolution of the 2.5 viewing screen (though not critical)
poor included software set
lack of available underwater housing (compared with Canon)
Resumo: I purchased the DSC W1 to replace a Canon Powershot 330 (2megapixel) digital camera. I loved the Canon for it's great styling, durable metal body, many features, and quality of pictures. My son needed a camera and I felt the time was right to move up to a 5 megapixel. After studying my options, I realized that my choices were relatively few. As others have found, I waivered between staying with the Canon 550 or moving to the Sony. As you might imagine, I was leaning heavily towards the Canon.
My ultimate decision favoring the DSC W1 was based on the quality of sample photos I viewed online (Steve's Digicam site), reviews of others who had the camera, and similarity in body style. The large 2.5 LCD screen tipped the scale in Sony's favor.
Having received the unit, I can say the research paid off. The camera has a nice solid feel not unlike the Canon with sturdy metal construction. The LCD, while lacking some of the clarity of resolution of the Canon 330 (and 550), is still more than compensated for by the size and ease of viewing,editing, and reviewing pictures. The feature set is outstanding and, most importantly, photo quality terrific. Whether cropping images, or just taking colorful macro shots, the clarity and detail has to be seen to be appreciated. The use of AA batteries when coupled with the new Rayovac 15minute charger makes power a non issue. I would have liked better software (like the Canon's Zoom Browser), however, since I can use my previous software collection to handle the transfer and editing of photos on my computer, it was not critical (for me).
Considering the GREAT price I found using Pricegrabber and my above experience with the Sony DSC W1, you will not be disappointed if you choose to make this your next digital camera.

Pontos Fortes: Great, have yet to encounter a problem or a decent complaint.
Pontos Fracos: Wish the lenses could come off easier.
Resumo: The Sony DSC-W1 has great attriburtes that is perfect for the basic conisour of digital photos. The price is just right for the budget consumer. and the Tech is just right for those who want to have the basics of quality digital photos, the starter for the technophelia of digital photos.

 seems like this camera limits its merits by not ha ... Pontos Fortes: big lcd, small size, carl zeiss lens (well sony got the patent?)
Pontos Fracos: what's up with the soft focus?
Resumo: seems like this camera limits its merits by not having a sharp focus. the thrill of the 717 was the amazing detail and ability to see minute details...no chance with the stock setting with this camera. is this so i buy an 828?
cool camera but it's getting returned....i'm spoiled by the abilities of their 717 and 828. bigger but better.

 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAMERA WITH FEATURES LIK ... Pontos Fortes: 2.5LCD, VIDEO
Pontos Fracos: LARGE IN CLASS, NOT SHARP LOOKING, WEAK FLASH
Resumo: 2004-06-18 08:48:38 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAMERA WITH FEATURES LIKE W1, BUY SONY-P100. IF SIZE IS THE ISSUE GO FOR SONY-P100, CANON 410 OR 500.
THIS SONY-W1 CAMERA HAS SAME SPECS LIKE ITS SMALLER AND MUCH BETTER LOOKING BROTHER P100, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS LARGER 2.5"LCD WITH MEDIUM RESOLUTION VERSUS 1.8" WITH HIGH RESOLUTION.
THIS CAMERA FOR ITS SIZE SHOULD HAVE MORE OPTICAL ZOOM 4X OR 5X WITH BETTER OPTICS LIKE SONY-V1 (IN ZOOM IT NEEDS MORE LIGHT THAN COMPETITION), NOT SO GOOD IN LOW LIGHT CONDITION WITH ITS WEAK FLASH.
TERRIBLE DESIGN OF POWER INLET, AV AND DV OUT PUT (TO RUN VIDEO ON COMPUTER OR TV, ALL DOORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAMERA MUST STAY OPEN TO CONNECT POWER, AUDIO AND VIDEO CABLES).
THERE IS NO ACCOMMODATION FOR BASE STATION LIKE MOST OTHER CAMERAS HAVE, INCLUDING P100.
UGLY AND BULKY RING AROUND LENS FOR OPTIONAL MAGNIFYING GLASS (WHO NEEDS IT, WILL MAKE ALREADY STARVING LENS FOR LIGHT EVEN MORE USELESS).

Pontos Fortes: Huge LCD, AA bateries
Pontos Fracos: AC Power adaptor not included
Resumo: This is a great camera, the huge LCD and the smaller size made my choice for this one, and I am really enjoying it! I was comparing between this one and the Sony DSC-P100, they seem to have pretty much the same specifications, I decided for this one, because of the huge LCD and because it takes AA batteries that are easy to buy anywhere if I need. It takes really good quality pictures even in the dark.
For the weakness, I wish the AC power adapter was included, but when I bought I already knew it wasn't...
I definetely recommended it!

Pontos Fortes: Very easy to use. Fast response time. 2.5 in image viewer is very nice.
Pontos Fracos: None
Resumo: I moving from a SLR to a digital camera. I also bought a 1GB memory pro. I have been impressed with the quality of the pictures. I have in the past used my friends Cannon. I found that the response time was much superior. I am really thrilled.

Pontos Fortes: 2.5 LCD, Battery Life, rechargeable batterys, fast on & off, fast recovery between shots, 5.1 mega pixels, super sharp pictures, sturdy body, can carry in pocket, can add telephoto & wide angle lens,
Pontos Fracos: Weak flash for night time in room pictures, need to leave lots of lights on for bright pictures or people in background are orange, should come with a soft tote bag, you only get 12 5.1 pictures
Resumo: my first digital camera, Haven't used the manual settings much still learning, camera should come without a memory card so you can pick your own. I'm just an average camera user and 12 5.1 pixel pictures for a 345 dollar camera isn't worth having. I bought a 256 meg pro memory card with 92 pictures at 5.1. i recomend this size for this price of camera. with lack of exp. buying on line i bought the pro memory card the same place i bought the camera. i got stung by 20 dollars. it was cheaper in other stores. so shop around for your accessories.

Pontos Fortes: Just great all around shot quality. Awesome rear display, viewable in almost any light. Tons of manual settings for when you really want to fine tune your photos.
Pontos Fracos: Unlike the smaller DSC-P100 from sony or the DSC-T1 there is no underwater enclosure for this one. Weak flash located right over lens, but thats pretty much standard for tiny camras.
Resumo: Take some time and play with the manual settings and learn what each one does. They can really help you capture those difficult shots that the standard automatic settings can't or do poorly.
