Product Rating: 4 star(s) Great but if taking shots of fast moving things not for you

, Jul. 8, 2005
Comments:
Great camera took it to Mexico and I have great pictures. Not enough standard zoom and I can't seem to take any fast moving shots. it seems to take to long to capture the picture. Other than that it is everything I could want in a camera.

QuickTake:

Pros: It has a huge screen and it does take nice pictures.
Cons: Not enough zoom , and no fast action picture taking

Comments:
The 3x zoom lens is very sluggish.

Review Verdict: A dedicated button gives access to image size (but not quality) in Capture mode and delete (but not delete all) in Playback mode. You can also call up a live histogram with the Display button

Comments:

Review Verdict: This is a great 5 megapixel camera, highly recommended unless you want a lighter model that sits comfortably in your pocket. Its image quality problems can be overcome with a little tweaking.

Comments:
Without a doubt, the W5 has inherited Sony's winning formula.

Review Verdict: It's not the best 5-megapixel compact at the price ? that title must go to Nikon's svelte Coolpix 5200 ? but the lure of the big screen, chunky design and easy-to-follow menu make the W5 a serious rival. Undoubtedly, it will sell by the bucket load.
