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: 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: Very large 2.5 inch LCD to review photos instantly with clarity. Extremely user friedly. Great flash photos with true colors better than the Olympus c-3000. Great movies. AA battery is a big plus.
Pontos Fracos: In low light setting the photo is grainier than the Olympus c-3000 using the same exposure. Not really a weakness because I always use flash.
Resumo: What is good or bad ? All relative. So I am doing a 2 camera comparison so I won't confuse you with these words. Countless hours have been spend to test them, hopefully this will help people make an intelligent decision. My previous job involved digital camera chip development so I had some exposure on digital imaging. The quality of the photos starts with a good ccd sensor than the colors are processed before it is stored in memory. I am comparing this Sony with my old Olympus C-3000. With the flash on the Sony camera produces very true natural colors compared to the Olympus which looks some what yellowish on facials. The natural color is very important for me because half the photos I take are at night with a flash. Without flash some darker subjects becomes faded but the Olympus still shows a fairly readable image. In bright light settings the camera can not produce the details at the over exposed areas of the photo compared to the Olympus which still retained some image data at the brightest area of the photo. The reason is mostly because the way the colors are processed. Sony had to sacrifice some details to better the image quality in other areas. This is not noticeable for most people because they think the photo is over exposed but if you lower the exposure the subject becomes under exposed so that won't fix the problem. You have to do a side by side comparison to know that Olympus is better in this respect. As far as the shutter lags goes, I have been told that Sony and Kodak are the fastest at about 1.2 second and Olympus and other cameras at 2.0 seconds. After a side by side comparison this proofs to be not completely true, there is barely any noticeable difference in shutter lag both in low and bright light. It feels like Sony is a tiny little fastest but no more than 10%. Without the proper test equipment, I won’t comment further. For those soccer moms and dads the trick is really to hold the shutter button down half way and get the camera to prefocus before taking the picture. You should not pay much more money for the 10% improvement. Most digital cameras can prefocus and you should cut lag time down by about 70% which is a ton better thant he 10% improvement. Especially in low light setting the lag time increases dramatically because it takes the camera longer to focus, so learn to prefocus. This camera is great for those moms who is got too many things to do and forget to charge the camera. You have got to get a camera which uses AA batteries and this camera uses only two of them. All batteries discharge even if you don't use them. Lithium Ion batteries are discharged in about 3-4 weeks so when you need them the most, often they are dead. Alkaline batteries take 3 to 5 years to discharge. They are great backups and they are always ready and can be purchased when you need them. Don’t ever buy a camera that uses proprietary batteries you will regret missing those photos with dead batteries. Also that is how the camera companies ripe people off by selling their proprietary batteries. Olympus, Sony and other manufacturers are getting into using proprietary batteries so be aware. Enough said about image quality and batteries but I think they are the most important issues of buying a digital cameras. Anyway after looking at the low light image quality of the Sony, I was going to take it back. But the more I use it the more I fall in love with it. Sony got the ease of use and features down to a science and makes it impossible for me to return it. It has this very large 2.5" LCD so I can review and share photos without downloading. I think the largest LCD Olympus make is the C-7000 at 2.0” and the C-3000 is only 1.5 inch. From the menus to the buttons. It feels like they are always there when you need them. Movies are great, you can email to your friends and they don’t need any software to see the movies with Win 2000 and up. Originally I was going to get a 10x optical zoom for some of my kid’s events but I figure out that a 3x zoom in a 5 mg camera is actually a 5x optical zoom in a 3 mg camera. You can enlarge a 5 mg image and zoom in than crop and still get a 3 mg resolution. So this camera is like a 5x optical zoom 3 mg camera. Don't get the 10x zoom unless you don't care about the bulkiness and the weight. I tried the macro function last night, the clarity is amazing with no noticeable distortion. You can focus on your finger nails at about 3 inches away with auto focus. My old Olympus need to focus at about 10 inches away unless I use the manual focus which really is hard to use. Another thing is that I love the sound of the shutter because it gives me the picture taken confirmation signal clearly and you can even turn the sound off at meetings. Oh, I discovered another feature on this baby, it has auto shut off. You will be in love if you run to the store and get one. My thumbs up for Sony.

 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: Sharp Clear Image
Pocket Size with large 2.5 Inch LCD
VGA size movies at 30 fps
Manual Features
Pontos Fracos: Apeture in manual is limited
No White balance control besides the presets
Cant zoom in movie mode
Resumo: I got the W1 a few days ago and i must say im extremely please with this camera. Dispite what others say, the camera produce very sharp and clear images most of the time. With the manual mode I can get great image results everytime. Though you cant change the white balance settings the auto mode works quite well. Picture's colors are great. The VGA mode is definitely a plus but they eat up the memory card quite fast. Startup time is really fast too, takes about a second before you can shoot pictures.

Pontos Fortes: Compact, Large LCD screen, Great battery life, Very good picture quality
Pontos Fracos: Insufficient memory card
Resumo: Let me start by saying, the reason this camera isn't getting 5 stars is because I don't think there's a camera out there worth 5 stars. That being said, this has been a great camera so far.
Battery life is something that I find very important, and this camera excels there. The camera comes with rechargable AA batteries and a charger. I've read that they're supposed to have a really long life, but I haven't had a chance to see for myself. The reason for this? When I got the camera, I couldn't wait for the batteries to charge so I put in some Duracell batteries. They haven't died yet!
The only thing I can really complain about is that you have to budget in another ~$100 for a good sized memory card. I think I paid a little under $100 for a 512MB Lexar Memory Stick Pro. I highly recommend this camera, this camera is worthy of the high praise.

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, LCD, AA batteries, movie mode and black & white modes are GREAT - use 'em all the time.
Pontos Fracos: Flash is weak, zoom inadequate at times.
Resumo: I spent a LOT of time investigating digital cameras online -one would think I was buying a car or something. Anyway I am a novice camera user and remain very impressed with this little guy. I would certainly recommend it. The movie mode is great for 'vignettes' or small movie snapshots. I also use the black and white a lot. I also didn't think the LCD would matter very much, but it does: I never use the viewfinder. I appreciate the large size of the LCD when passing the camera around to friends to view pictures and movies.
Hint #1: Immediately jack up the megapixel resolution to 5 so that you can capture moments in the best resolution possible. Then, bypass Sony's ridiculous profit margins- for memory cards buy SanDisk instead. The 512 MB is fantastic - you will get a lot of memory space. I saved $75.00 this way - $150 vs. $225. The 32 MB is inadequate for daily usage. I use it as 'emergency' memory when my 512 has filled up on me and I need an extra pinch of memory to get me through the moment.
Hint #2: Do NOT buy the Sony camera case. They charge a ridiculous price for a shoddy version. Go for a Lowepro - I paid ten dollars and it is very sturdy - also has a nice inside pocket to keep memory cards.
Hint #3: Buy a separate set of rechargeable batteries you can swap on the go. The AA battery format is a huge plus.
Picture clarity is great for the size and price of the camera. The camera and case are small enough that I WILL take it anywhere, and have. In other words, it is a convenient model.
I did find that for indoors the flash was inadequate at a distance. The zoom could also have been 4x or 5x.
All in all I am quite happy with this model - but stay away from buying Sony brand 'peripherals' unless you like spending money.
This camera fulfills my needs. The only reason it does not get five stars for the above drawbacks. Otherwise, a great job by Sony and their third-party peripheral competitors!

After looking into many reviews I was in dilemma w ...
Pontos Fortes: Large LCD , Clear Images , Good Shape
Pontos Fracos: Nothing so far! Still see my comments..
Resumo: 2004-09-16 13:21:20 After looking into many reviews I was in dilemma whether to go for canon S50 (big size , rating 8.2) or sony W1
(compact, rating 7.2). I tested S50 earlier which is also providing good images. Since we needed compact, less wt and enough options i bought Sony W1 few days ago.
I observed some blurr images when pointed object ie., my daughter moved suddenly while taking picture. Is it common or defect I don't know?
Also I took picture in dark and it came very well.
I have selected Flash Sync option always.
Photo of a person wearing a glasses, didn't come well. Wondering whether it is due to Flash or defect?
I even tested Movie mode and W1 recorded very well.
Overall I liked it.
I returned Camera, because of blurr images , going for canon s60

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: Compact Size, 2.5 inch screen, Uses AA Batteries, quick startup, great pictures
Pontos Fracos: Poor software bundle, decent flash
Resumo: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 is a compact and durable camera that's loaded with powerful features such as a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and a 5-megapixel imager. The W1 is easy to use in the Auto or Program AE exposure modes. Bottom line the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 is an all around great camera. It makes a perfect choice for those wanting a compact, durable, and easy to use digicam. The 5-megapixel images it yields have plenty of resolution to make photo-quality 8x10-inch prints

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: 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.
