Sony Introduces a 13.6 Megapixel Compact: DSC-W300

Photography — 25 February 2008

Sony Cybershot DSC-W300
Boasting over 13 megapixels, a 3x zoom, and a titanium scratch resistant body, Sony’s newest camera, the DSC-W300, is a serious contender in the heavy weight division. Included in the package is an ultra sensitive image sensor at up to 6400 ISO (I think my Canon does 1600 max), 2.7″ LCD, intelligent scene recognizer, smile shutter (the camera will wait until everyone smiles), and a whole lot more. Measures 3.7 x 2.3 x 1.1in so it’s not the slimmest of all compacts, but the trade off in pixels and features are there.

Should be available here in the next few months for $350.

    Sony’s DSC-W300 digital camera 6400 ISO and the 13 mega pixels sensor would make it a good release, but I wonder how much noise it will create for such a compact camera. The camera does however look flashy.

    This is a wonderful camera.
    I like this camera very much. I don’t know price of this camera.
    I think Rs.15,000. I don’t have this much money.
    I have this camera image as wallpaper in my office computer.
    But, I believe one day i buy this camera. This is one of the my aim.
