(3 out of 5)


A small camera with a big 5X zoom and fun point-and-shoot features. Not for fans of manual controls, though.

Review date: Apr 11, 2008

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 is a competent little camera that offers a pleasing combination of zoom power, image stabilization, performance, and point-and-shoot features. Being that it's completely devoid of manual controls, it's not a great choice for those who take long exposures, or shoot under unusual lighting conditions. For everyone else, though, the Cyber-shot DSC-W150 is worth checking out.
