This is a great little and quick camera. You won't miss important shots because of a shutter lag - not like my old Cannon A95. The LCD screen is bigger too. 2.5" compared to 1.8". <br> <br>You need to have a memory card, but there is an internal memor

QuickTake:

Sorry, but Bruce's review is unfairly knocking the W50. It was only released April 2006, Bruce's review states he's owned it for 18 months as of August 2006, obviously, impossible. He mentions "T3" which may be another model he owns, but if so, then th

Your budget would have to be really tight to pass over the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W50 in favor of the Sony DSC-W30. The two cameras are identical with a single exception: The DSC-W50's 2.5-inch LCD is a full half inch larger then the DSC-W30's. Otherwise, th
