Top Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 Camera Reviews
Imaging Resource wrote a review on the
Sony Cyber-shot W55 and said: "I liked the photos the W55
captured quite a bit, they were bright and snappy-looking, yet
the colors still managed to look realistic, and never felt
artificial to me. The one thing I disliked about it was that its
photos indoors under incandescent lighting were a bit on the
yellow or red side, depending on the white balance option
selected."
CNET wrote a review on the
Sony Cyber-shot W55 and said: "Overall, we found the
DSC-W55's photos clear and pleasing. Despite the slight
softening of some finer details, photos looked crisp."
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 News Release Summary:
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 17, 2007 — Sony is ringing in the New Year with
four additions to its Cyber-shot® digital camera line: the
DSC-W55, DSC-W35, DSC-S700 and DSC-S650 models.
The slim, compact DSC-W55 model will sport a 7.2-megapixel
imager and a precision Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar lens. It
combines traditional, eye-level viewfinders with large LCD
screens for easy framing and viewing of photos. The W55 camera
will make a splash in Caribbean blue, pale pink, elegant black
and sleek silver with a 2.5-inch LCD screen wrapped in a metal
body.
All four new models feature 3x optical zoom capability,
blur-reduction technologies (ISO), and substantial internal
memory for shooting without a media card. Their storage
capacities can be expanded further with optional 8GB Memory
Stick Duo ™ or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ flash media cards for the
W-series models and 4 GB Duo media cards for the S-series
models.
“Now that digital cameras are personal items, it’s common to
have more than one camera per household,” said Phil Lubell,
director of marketing for digital cameras at Sony Electronics.
“Our new models are solid performers that will be easy for
novices to digital photography to use and at the same time meet
the needs of more advanced users.”
Capture the Mood
High sensitivity is featured on all of the cameras to reduce the
chances of taking blurry photos, especially in low light
situations. With settings up to ISO1000, you can shoot at higher
shutter speeds to capture the candles on a birthday cake or the
city lights without using a flash.
On the W-series cameras, Sony's Clear RAW ™ noise reduction
technology helps reduce picture noise common to low-light
exposures. Sony’s AF Illuminator also facilitates these models’
ability to shoot well in low light. A special light is thrown on
subjects before taking a shot so that the camera’s imager can
better detect contrast. The end result is well-focused, clear
pictures, even in low light.
Shoot At The Speed of Life
These new models feature quick start-up, fast shot-to-shot
times, and long battery life – up to 380 shots on a full charge
of the W55 cameras’ Lithium ion battery. The cameras'
sophisticated auto-exposure and auto-focus features work fast so
you get the picture right the first time.
No More Guesswork
All models incorporate a function guide and resolution guide.
When menu icons are selected, a simple text explanation is
displayed on the LCD screen. This function guide is
readily-accessible through a convenient mode dial. The
resolution guide is helpful when deciding on the best resolution
for prints. When you select the resolution in the menu, a pop-up
screen provides the ideal print size for that particular
setting.
In stores in February, the W55 model will be available for about
$200. Options will include batteries, travel chargers,
lenses, filters, sports packs, and cases. All models can be
purchased online at Sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores
(www.sonystyle.com/retail), and at authorized dealers
nationwide. Pre-orders begin on Jan. 23 at www.sonystyle.com/cameras2007.
