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: 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: Small size, picture quality, ability to connect easily to TV or computer to review pictures, ability to use AA batteries in an emergency if rechargeable ones fail.
Pontos Fracos: None that I am aware of at this time.
Resumo: Bought this camera shortly before leaving for vacation. Used it for many pictures, both inside and out and they all came out great. Small size allows me to keep it in my pocket or purse and have it available in a moments notice. It turns on and is ready to shoot in a flash and the shutter lag is non-existent. I find it easier to use than my other digital camera, the Sony DSC-85.I would have given it 5 stars, but I haven't tried everything it is capable of doing so I might find something I am disappointed in later on.

Pontos Fortes: This camera is the 5th camera that I have purchased over the last 10 years. I love it. Great features, super quality photos, easy to use, and you gotta love the large LCD screen.
Pontos Fracos: None - this camera is quality. Don't expect much from the photo software. I use photoshop anyway.
Resumo: I took the camera the first week I had it to Florida deep sea fishing. The only bad experience I had was that sometimes when taking photos in a hurry - the pictures were out of focus. Make sure to focus the camera by pressing down half way, wait till the light turns green (camera will focus) then snap the photo. I belive I can set the camera to do this automatically, but I have not read that far yet. All in all - this camera rocks!

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Large LCD, fast shot-to-shot, quality pictures
Pontos Fracos: Bundled accessories not good enough for price paid (memory stick supplied not big enough, no AC adapter, no camera case). Software not that good.
Resumo: I am not a professional photographer and I mainly use the camera to take shots of my babies. The quick response time is a big factor when you have babies constantly moving around. I am satisfied with the performance of the camera. I would have given it 5 stars if the bundled accessories were great.

Pontos Fortes: Super fast image capture, 2.5" LCD, flash does a good job for a compact digital, movie mode quality at 30 fps! Sharp 5MP pictures.
Pontos Fracos: Memory Stick Costs and weak software package! Other than that, none so far.
Resumo: Easy to use compact digital. I compared this to the Canon S410/S500 and ultimately decided on the Sony DSC-W1. The reasons were: sharp 2.5" LCD, 5MP price point $399, best VGA movie mode available on digital cameras with length only limited to memory size, very good picture quality, more manual controls and one of the fastest image captures in digital cameras. Sony leapfrogged the competition with price/feature performance on this camera. I am very happy with my purchase.

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: 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.

 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.

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.
