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

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.

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.
