Sony DSC W610

 

Sony DSC W63078/100

Low price tag, sweep panorama mode

Picture quality

The Sony Cybershot DSC W610 is a cheap and cheerful digital camera. The main attractions are its price tag and ease of use. To be honest even taking its price tag into account picture quality is a bit disappointing.

Compact but feels weighty and has survived multiple drops onto stone floor and still produces fantastic pictures of the family, suddenly my children are all photogenic which has more to do with the quality of the camera than the subjects. I point and...

As a rule, I generally buy and use cameras with a little bit more functionality, like the Nikon P7000 or D3100. However, the DSC-W610, the lowest-end of Sony's current crop of digital cameras, certainly fits the bill for a cheap, pocketable camera that...
