A camera that offers quite a bit, and would have scored well, but it is let down by pictures that are absolutely horrible. The purple fringing is like nothing we have ever seen before, and makes it impossible to recommend no matter how well implemented some other features are.

Overall a solid camera, if not one that truly stands out from the crowd.

A competent model, the T30 offers reasonable image quality but suffers because of some noise issues.

A feature-packed bundle that is a great family purchase.

A very complete camera in a small package.

This point-and-shoot camera takes high-quality photos, has a big LCD, and offers some manual controls for users who want to do more than just select scene modes.

An attractive package for those looking for a stylish and fairly simple compact. It can be slow at times and there are some image quality issues, but the pictures are fine for small print sizes and many will appreciate the aesthetics and futuristic menu system.

The DSC-W100 takes brilliant pictures and offers decent functionality. It is only really let down by a weak burst mode.

Sony's Cyber-shot DSCW1 has most of what you could wish for in a compact, easy-to-use point-and-shoot.

Sony's Cyber-Shot DSC-T200 is an interesting camera. Its pictures suffer from some sharpness and chromatic aberration issues, but are still good enough for small and medium sized prints.
