Sony Cybershot DSCW120/B 7.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Black) The 7.2-Megapixel Cyber-shot(R) W120 features innovative Smile Shutter technology, which photographs smiles as they happen. A Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens provides high quality close-ups, while Sony’s Double Anti-Blur solution gives you crisp, clear images. The advanced Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. 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 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5″ TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot. Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens.

Customer Review: great photos
This camera took great photos right out of the box. Just point and shoot. It’s controls were simple enough for my tech illeterate fiance to document getting ready for our wedding, and then our honeymoon to spain. It didn’t matter what time of day or night or the lighting conditions, the camera took beautifull pictures that rivaled my SLR. The smile function was interesting, aperantly you need a $100 smile to get the camera to snap your photo, but was a nice try on the engineers part. Very small and easy to put into a purse or even a pocket and not weight you down. Great camera.
Customer Review: Shopped around; would buy it again; but be aware of minor issues
Just bought this new from a local retailer. Did a lot of research online comparing this model to some of Canon’s compact cameras. I’m not a photography buff so I wanted something that was small and not necessarily the “best” but would still take nice pictures. I really like the features that it includes. The 4x zoom is greater than most at this price point, and even some more expensive cameras. Seems to have a lot of neat features, like the Smart Zoom (digital zoom without pixelation), multiple auto focus points, and ability to shoot 640×480 video. The face detection is pretty cool and seems to work really well. I thought about getting the DSC-W130 with its 8MP resolution and editing features, but figured that 8MP was more than I needed and I’d rather do my photo editing on the computer.
One or two “bugs” I’m aware of:
1. If you shoot using burst mode, you’ll find that you can’t turn the flash back on in any mode but Easy mode. You have to reset the camera back to factory defaults to shoot using the flash again. Even knowing this I would still buy the camera, but I’m hoping that enough people would alert Sony to this error to release a firmware update to fix it. Otherwise I would have given it five stars.
2. When you plug in the camera with the USB cable the lens may open, so be sure not to leave it face down when transferring data.
