The Sony DSC-W170 features an enviable 10.1-Megapixel resolution, Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens, and Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution for crisp, clear images with a sophisticated, compact body. A large, bright 2.7" Clear Photo LCD display includes an anti-reflective coating that provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight. In addition, Face Detection technology, Smile Shutter, and Intelligent Scene Recognition elicit stunning detail from special moments. High-resolution images can be enjoyed in 16:9 High-Resolution Mode simply by connecting the camera directly to a Sony BRAVIA HDTV or other compatible HDTV with an optional cradle for optimal HD playback. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto-focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 for a greater creative freedom to compose your image. Super SteadyShot(R) Optical Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens.

Love it and would recommend (2009-06-26)
So this was my first digital camera, and after going through a brain overload researching which would be best for me, I finally decided on this one and I'm glad I did. If you're looking for a decent digital camera that is user-friendly, takes quality pictures, has a view finder, good battery life, and not too bad of a zoom (5x) than look no further, seriously. The pictures come out great, it's really easy to figure out (even before skimming through the user manual) and the LCD screen is the perfect size. I have no complaints except that it lags for about 3 or 4 seconds before it pulls the lens back into the camera to turn off. But seriously people, 3 or 4 seconds? isn't it crazy how people find a problem with waiting 3 seconds!?! NOT that big of a deal unless you are the most impatient, anal person around. Plus I don't remember it doing that when I first got it, so maybe I mishandled it or kept turning it on and off too many times. Either way, it doesn't interfere with my enjoying the camera regardless.Overall, it's a perfect point-and-shoot for the price and its features, plus I like the design, it has a sleek look and nice shape. Great for vacations and taking random pictures of friends and family and I forgot to mention, the color and lightning is just fantastic. I took it to a concert that was outside and it was night and it captured the stage and the crowds of people waving their hands PERFECTLY. The colors were exquisite. Like I said, quality. It definitely does not disappoint - does what it said it would do plain and simple. I'm a happy customer :)
Great camera! (2009-06-22)
This is one amazing little camera. Small, but of high quality, it takes great pictures of excellent resolution and quality. Be careful before you erase something, though. There is no undo! By accident my wife erased all background songs right at the beginning and if your are not careful you can easily mistake a video for a bad photo and when you erase it, it is gone. I also do not like that it cannot be directly hooked up to your computer out of the box, so a card reader (not included!) is essential...
Good Digital Camera (2009-06-17)
A little bit expensive. It is bulky, but has all the functions that I need.
Good in daytime, but not so good in low light (2009-05-21)
The camera takes great pics outside during the daylight hours, but at night or inside the pictures or not that great and have noise. Overall the camera is not bad.
I wanted to love this camera (2009-05-14)
I wanted to love this camera. I have a sony cybershot that is many years old and only a 3 MP. It was time to upgrade. I'm partial to the sony brand-so I bought this. What a mistake. I took several pictures inside and outside and the colors were not good. I tried different settings. I read and reread the manual. And I took pictures of things within seconds with my old 3MP camera to compare the two. This camera had more yellows and darker images. I was not happy with 1 picture I took from it. In contrast, almost every picture from my old sony was fine. I am not a camera expert--thus the desire to buy "point and shoot". But is it too much to expect a new camera to take better pictures than one that is 5 or so years old? In the end I returned it and went with panasonic.
