The Sony Cybershot W70 digital camera has been reviewed at DPInterface. The Sony DSC-W70 is a 7.2 megapixel camera with a large 2.5 inch screen and a 3x optical zoom. As an ultra portable camera it is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and ideal to take anywhere. The Cybershot W70 features an ISO 1000 sensitivity mode which helps reduce camera blur in low light situation or for fast moving objects.
Here are some of the review results:
“The W70 has an above average battery life rating of 360 shots and 58 MB of built-in memory. The W70 is expandable with a wide range of accessories and what a better way to preview your new conversion lens or filter effects via the 2.5 inch LCD? The LCD is not very sharp and visible though.
Despite the good macro mode, image quality and movie mode, I’ve the usual quirks about the W70’s performance: Things are not as fast as some modern day competitors (Hint hint… Panasonic) and the movie mode is too simple. Like other compact cameras, the W70 doesn’t have any manual controls either.”
