Pontos Fortes: takes great pictures; hard to mess up; camera makes sense; lightweight and pretty loaded with stuff. plus the gigantic lcd screen is the GREATEST!
Pontos Fracos: while supposedly easy to understand, i found the screen with the various settings, etc. very confusing at first.
Resumo: i have had a nikon swivel, canon powershot (a80 and g5), a fujifilm s3100 and even a mavica -- this camera by far and away if the best digital i have ever used. i use digital photography in my art, so i am a bit picky about the quality of the shot after i download it from the camera to my PC. seriously, once you master the settings (it isn't as hard as i make it sound) this camera becomes like a second skin.
and i kid you not, the gigantic lcd screen is a godsend. it really does make a differnce both in setting up a shot and in reviewing it. i also really dig the zoom options (safe, none, precision). it takes good night shots -- not panoramas at night or anything like that but nice moonlight shots in the park kind of photos.
this is a great digital.

Pontos Fortes: Small and lite enough to fit in shirt pocket. Fast shutter speed. Excellant in low light (with tripod). Cheap batteries that last 200-300 pics. Very sharp and clear pictures in P mode.
Pontos Fracos: Soft pictures in all full auto modes (but great pics in P and M modes)
Resumo: I have used this camera extensively and have used all its features. I was worried at first by reviews of blurry images and soft pictures. I've read professional reviews stating similar weaknesses. So then why do my images turn out so great. Well, because all magazines reviews only evaluate the full auto settings. This camera has great sharpness but in auto (A) and other auto modes the default sharpness is set to normal instead of sharp. If you are the kind of person that will use auto settings most of the time don't buy this camera, buy the cannon A95 5M instead. It has great auto settings. But really, you can buy a cheaper camera that has no manual settings. Why spend money on manual (advanced settings) if you never use it?
Well program (P) mode is where you can easily take great sharp pictures. Set the sharpness to "+". If you are taking landscape shots change the contrast and saturation to "+". You will take beautiful shots. Now with increased contrast you may (as expected) experience white out if the picture contains a lot of white. In such cases turn contrast to "-" to eliminate that effect. The auto settings have a default (unchangeable) contrast of "+" so you may experience the whites being washed out. Sony does this to (rightly so) give their pictures better colors then most camera's.
In (P) mode you can also select the ISO setting. You should do this because the auto settings tend to pick the lowest ISO setting for you to give you the highest res possible. The downside is that a low ISO setting (say ISO 100) will also force a lower shutter speed…thus produces some blurry pics. If you are indoors set the ISO to 200 to eliminate this problem. As it will double your shutter speed. If it is low light conditions set the ISO to 400. The grainier pics won't be noticeable in a 4 x 6 printout.
I also like the no limit high res video mode at 30fps. Wow, it looks great. I went to a robot expo and captured some great video. I captured about 20 min in 15 fps. Something you could not do with a cannon. They limit the length of your video to 30sec.
In conclusion, I am really happy with this camera. Its small size means I can put it in my shirt pocket. And as long as you use (P) mode you will get great pics. Luckily this camera is so easy to use that you will want to try out various settings for fun.

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: Large LCD. Takes high quality movies that are as long as the card can hold (unusual!). Fast shutter release.
Pontos Fracos: Major weakness to me: once you have begun shooting a movie, you cannot use the zoom to zoom in and out. You are "stuck" using whatever zoom setting you began with.
Resumo: I looked at many cameras before choosing this one. I take a lot of movies with my camera but did not want a camcorder. I wanted high quality/resolution movies that were not time limited. A previous camera I had would only take 1.5 minute movies and then stop, even if there was plenty of space left on the memory card. The Sony DSC-W1 camera will take movies up to the full length of what the card can hold! It's great, and many digitals do not offer this feature. Movie quality is very good and you get the movies out in an MPEG format, rather than some less common format like MOV or AVI. My big complaint is that the zoom feature of the camera can not be used once you have begun shooting a movie. You are just stuck with the zoom power you began shooting with. Major flaw. I would not have bought this camera if I had discovered this about it beforehand.
Beyond that one limitation, however, I have been extremely happy with this camera. The shutter release is very responsive; the autofocus works well even in difficult lighting conditions; and the large LCD is wonderful for those of us with failing eyesight. Also, the quality of recorded sound that you get when you make a movie is VERY, VERY good. They have a good quality audio recorder in that camera. Since I take movies at concerts, this is an important feature to me, and one that drew me initially to the camera.
Camera has a nice "feel" in the hand. I rejected another Sony model because it didn't feel good to hold.
I like that you can purchase extender lenses for this camera, although I haven't done it yet.
I take a lot of photos and movies in dark lighting situations. The LCD is very helpful to me--it shows what "mode" you are in on a "dial" on the screen that mimics the physical dial that you turn with your fingers. This is invaluable in the dark.
Batteries last a long time before needing to be recharged. They are very cheap so having a second or third set is not big deal. I prefer using batteries to the expensive, specialized "battery packs" that some digitals require.
The 32 MB memory stick that comes with the camera cannot hold very much. You will need to purchase additional memory sticks, especially if you are taking movies. The Sony ones are very expensive. I purchased 2 SanDisk 256K memory sticks for $50 each at a discount retailer.
The other accessories I purchased are a neck strap and a small case (not Sony--again very expensive).

Pontos Fortes: Fast response time and turn around time between shots. Large and clear LCD. Provide optical view finder. Reasonably priced for the features
Pontos Fracos: Slow charging with bundled charger
Resumo: This is the first digital camera of my parents. The criteria in my mind when searching for such a cam are: 1. Large LCD so that parents can read the menu easily. 2. Good picture without doing complicated setting. 3. Have optical view finder for taking photo under strong sunlight. DSC-W1 is the only camera that fall into this category in my search. My parents take my suggestion and bought it. They are now enjoying taking photos using the default mode. I am sure they can explore the other features easily. The price is reasonable. HK$2395(US$307) with extra sony bag, 2 AA rechargable batteries, 128MB memory stick and a cooking pot(that's the free gift chosen by my mom).

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: 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: 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: 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: 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).

This camera is top of the chart with its sleek and compact design and with 5 megapixels your pictures will always turn out great!

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.
