From the Manufacturer
Cyber-shot Digital Camera W830
It’s the amazingly easy-to-use camera that slips right in your pocket—with an 8x optical zoom, 20.1MP photos and beautifully-detailed HD videos. And pics stay clearer, even with shaky hands thanks to Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. You can also enhance your images with built-in effects that adjust skin tone and texture or even whiten teeth.
20.1 Megapixel Plus 8x Zoom
A powerful 20.1 megapixel CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 20.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19”) size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots. The 8x zoom Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens helps you get much closer to your subjects.
Optical SteadyShot image Stabilization with 2-way Active Mode
Sony's Active Mode image stabilization gives you the freedom to shoot movies even while walking or running. 2-way Active Mode corrects for both vertical and horizontal motion.
720p MP4 HD Movie Mode
In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps, a standard format when working with a PC.¹ Create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac computer. Once transferred to your computer and connected to the internet, you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket and YouTube.
Creative shooting with Picture and Beauty effects
Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Beauty Effects allows edits to skin tones, skin smoothing, shine removal, eye widening, and teeth whitening. Beauty Effects can be combined to further enhance the image.
Advanced Flash illuminates distant subjects
Advanced Flash allows you to shoot bright, beautifully lit photos. The built in flash reaches farther resulting in brighter subjects in dimly lit rooms or outdoors in the evening.
Intelligent Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clear images, faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Kids on the playground, landscape shots, a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party; all result in clear images without leaving auto mode.
Sweep Panorama mode (up to 360°)
Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and up to 360° full circle, the camera can take a variety of panoramic shots. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.
Face Detection technology
Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Smile Shutter technology
Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD display
Generous 2.7” (230K dots) Clear Photo LCD display features sharp, natural color that makes it easy to compose shots, read menus, and view photos, even in bright sunlight.

I was specifically looking for a simple, easy to use point and shoot camera and this model is proving to be very easy to use. I have the black model but most of the controls are chrome so they're easy to locate. I had looked at a higher end camera at a camera store but many of the controls were literally black on black. So far so good and I did purchase the optional extended warranty. I will probably purchase a camera case to protect it as well.

When I first got this camera I was wondering if I made a mistake. Yes I was looking for the impossible, an inexpensive digital camera with a fairly descent zoom and good features. Can this camera take pictures in rapid succession? No. In continuous mode it will do 3 shots at 1 FPS. Can you zoom in on the pictures and see good detail? Yes and No. Even set at 20meg the images sometimes do not bear close scrutiny if taken under low light, like indoors at night. But with enough light on the subject it takes excellent images. Did I experience a lag when taking pictures? Well yes and no. The camera takes a little getting used to. While the closest focusing distance on full wide is 5 inches, once you start to use the zoom, that close focusing distance extends out to 5 feet. So if what you want to take a picture of is within 5 feet, just keep the camera on wide and walk up to take the shot. If you can't walk up to take the picture then use the zoom. Until I figured this out I was very frustrated wondering why the camera would not lock focus on the subject. So after all of these faults why have I given this camera 5 stars. Well you get what you pay for. I have a Sony DSLR and a Sony all in one. Both cost about $1,000 at the time of purchase. Those take fantastic pictures but you can't fit them in a shirt pocket. It is unfair to compare a camera that costs a little over $100 to those. But for what I intended, this little DSC-W830 is fantastic. I get very descent shots which I view on my 27" monitor. It fits conveniently in a pocket and (once you understand the controls and get used to how it handles) takes pictures quickly and accurately enough for my needs. If I need better I get out my more expensive cameras. But for convenience and ease of use this little camera is a gem.

This is an open letter/review to the Sony Corporation :First let me say I don't write product reviews, and I buy a LOT of products from Amazon. I am a building / home inspector and as such (recently did the math) I take upwards of 500 - 600 photos a week for my inspection reports that people rely on to purchase perhaps the biggest purchase of their lives - their home. I bought this camera in February of 2015 (14 months ago) and after ~33,000 photos, my beloved DSC-W380 has finally met its match by way of a lens booger.NOW, let me get to the point. Being the centerpiece of my livelihood and the tool that has captured more construction sites, floor decking, landscaping, electrical components, low lighting conditions of every kind, frost, rain, (and yes even falling off a building... action shot ; )) I was troubled when its tiny little heart gave up on me (natural death). Since then I have tried virtually every Point and Shoot on the market $200 and under, $200 and over, Sony, Nikon, Canon, done side by sides, swam in camera specs that would make any sane person's head spin, and have come to one resolute conclusion... If you are in the inspection business and need an amazing quality image on the quick, this is it.I'm not selling cameras here, so let me get back to my letter. SONY... PLEASE, PLEASE... DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS CAMERA. It is the perfect marriage of low light taking, no nonsense, perfect design for working professional (love the thumb zoom... can and will never zoom with my index finger... thumb on zoom, trigger finger on trigger... amen), perfect optics, aluminum non-plastic tough as nails shell, perfect amount of zoom... I could go on. This is a timeless camera for a no-nonsense user and should NEVER be discontinued.Thank you Sony for the genesis of this camera, and your attention to this open letter, I would guess I'm speaking for a large swath of real estate inspectors everywhere. Phenomenal camera, just repurchased after at least 30 hours of research, hands-on experimentation, etc (03/16)...I will not buy anything other than the DSC-W830 for my main work camera.Kind Regards
