Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 Review

Comments:
We were impressed with Sony's 8.1 megapixel Cyber-shot W150.

Review Verdict: So what makes the W170 worthy of a separate model name? Primarily, a 10.1 megapixel sensor that's slightly larger in addition to be higher-res than the W150's 8.1 megapixel variant. If there may not be a lot of new information to be uncovered in reviewing

Comments:
The Sony DSC W170 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens. The lens is wide angle, so this is a big help when squeezing wide scenes into a photo. This is a handy camera and will fit into most pockets. It also has a viewfinder.

Fun features abound in this wide-angle Sony point-and-shoot camera, but images come out a bit soft.
