Just what I have been waiting for
Strengths: Wide angle lens, good battery life, compact. Anti-shake.
Weakness: 10 minute video clip limit. No zoom function when taking video.
The wide angle lens is what makes it for this camera. The 5x zoom still gives plenty of telephoto also. It is a little thicker than the Sony W-50 that I have been using, but the accessories are the same, including cases. The battery life seems very good and the quality of the pictures is excellent.

The best little camera that I've ever owned.
Strengths: Picture quality, auto focusing.
Weakness: None that I have found.
This is a fine camera. The battery life is good. The picture quality is excellent. It is easy to use especially with it's auto focusing and the lens that focuses when you shake a little. I have parkinsons disease and I manage to take good pictures even with my shaking.

Sony CyberShot DSC-W170 review
The Sony Cybershot W170 is a pleasant camera to work with. It's a pity that the image quality did not appear clearly from a technical point of view in a number of situations. This is not a camera for the evening or in difficult light circumstances; it is a good-weather model. It may sound patronizing; however, if you want to make optimal use of the possibilities and obtain the best result, you...
