Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 review
The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 is a reliable point-and-shoot compact digital camera that is available for well under the $300 mark.
The W350’s standout feature is its 26mm-equivalent wide-angle lens, complete with 4x optical zoom and offering 14.1-megapixel resolution. However, as the sub-$300 price tag would suggest, this is not a camera intended for advanced users. However taken in context as a basic point-and-shoot camera for happy snaps and the likes, the Sony W350 performs very well.
Camera settings are generally automatic, although Sony has equipped the W350 with some manual controls - if you want to use them. Shoot in Easy mode and pretty much everything is preset for you, but switch to Intelligent Auto, for example, and you can adjust some of the settings such as exposure.
The W350’s performance is more than adequate for a budget digital camera. However if you want to make really large prints of your shots, you’ll notice some loss of quality. But if you’re intending to use this camera for smaller prints or online images, there shouldn’t be too many issues.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 digital camera is available now in Australia for $279. It comes in four colours - pink, blue, silver and black.
