Excellent results for low price

The photos taken outside are excellent; however, indoor quality isn’t great. But I’m still in adjustment mode.. learning features. Will be great for traveling because it’s light & small... easy to carry. For the price, excellent little camera.Read full review...

Nice compact digital camera; longer lens would be nice

This is my 4th Sony Cybershot digital camera. I bought this one as a replacement for the same model which was stolen. Great deal when bought used. LIKES: 7.2 megapixels is more than enough for the casual photographer. Records audio with video up to 640x480. Simple layout makes it easy to make adjustments. Fully charged Li-Ion battery lasts a long time! DISLIKES: No pre-set for action shots. Flash takes a bit longer to charge than I like. 3X zoom is not really long enough. Adding digital zoom comporomises pictures, but it does a decent job.Read full review...

My First Digital Camera - Sony DSC-W55

I wanted a digital camera as I was still using a 35-MM. I wanted something small, but powerful. I also wanted a 'cute' camera--color has always been very important to me. I wanted something that would be easy for me to learn to use. The 'point and shoot' cameras seemed the best suited for me. I began trolling through the selections on EBay and eventually was able to land my 'pink rose' Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 7.2 Megapixel. I am totally pleased with this choice. I've just taken my first few pictures and am amazed at how clearly they came out. The only thing I am disappointed with is the fact that there was supposed to be a wrist strap included and it wasn't there. Also, I wish I would have gotten a 'kit' where it would include the case, memory stick duo, etc. Otherwise, I am thrilled with my new camera and am anxious to take pictures tonight at my class reunion. I like the idea of a digital camera because you can just delete any pictures you don't like, right on the spot, and you can develop only the ones you want. I know that I made the right choice with this camera--I recommend it to anyone who is just starting out with their first digital camera. The camera is small, compact, very well-made and expensive-looking. The color is perfect! I've had compliments on it already. There are plenty of features, which seem like they will be easy to use. There is a zoom lens and a feature which allows me to take extremely close-up shots. I'm excited about my new purchase!Read full review...

Back to Better

My girlfriend had this camera originally, but dropped and broke it. When she bought the newer version, she was disappointed with how dificult it was to use. Getting to the proper fucntion and lighting settings provolked her to lose the shot or get a poor quality picture. After months of frustration, she re-purchased this model, and all is great again. The DSC-W55 camera is so easy to use. All funtions are on a "dial" so you don't have to scroll through button promps to get where you want to go with the type of picture setting you desire, this is important when you are trying to capture a moment of a sunset for example. The zoom is at the tip of your finger allowing you to get the ideal shot while looking at your target. Simply put, this camera takes great pictures, not only because of the quality of the camera, but because it is simple and easy to use, allowing you to get the shot you want, with the proper lighting and zoom. This is a great product that has NOT been over "tech-ni-fied."Read full review...

Don't Delay, Go Cyber 55W. Well worth the experience

I have previously owned this model before ( stolen). Used it for my business ( construction ), and missed using it for it's light weight and especially for it's picture quality. For the price, you are not able to purchase a camera of this quality anywhere, at least that is my experience. I would recommend this model to anyone that would like to have easy access, ease of use, great picture quality and most of all low cost. Actually i have just purchased another Sony DSC-W55 for my wife. She has a different camera which has a terrible shutter delay and the camera misses the picture you want taken. You will not have this problem with this model. I had to purchase another for reasons being my wife always had mine. I have been able to find accessaries for this camera, so it is not out of date, you are able to purchase batteries, cases, memory cards, etc.
I have even taken a picture of a long travel dune buggy, which it was traveling on the freeway, and the picture came out great. Along with landscape pictures as i was moving along in the automobile. Don't get me wrong, it is not the best camera out there, but you will pay a heck of a lot more for not that much better of picture. Especially with this model having the Carl Zeiss lens.Read full review...

My 2 cents on the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W55

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W55. I had needed a new digital camera for a while and I spent much time researching, comparing and asking questions about different brands and models.
This camera is very sleek, small and light weight and can be carried pretty much anywhere.
Its pretty simple to use and all my pictures have turned out great, very clear with vibrant colors.
This camera gives you many different options for picture taking, depending on the weather conditions and locale. The only problem I have had is deciding which setting works best for the picture I am taking. :-).
This camera does not hold as many photos using the internal memory , as it claims to hold, but you can purchase a generic memory stick and then be able to snap all the pics you want and not worry at all about running out of space.
All in all I am very pleased with this camera and would recomend it to anyone that is thinking of purchasing a new digital camera. You cant go wrong with the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W55!Read full review...

Sony Cybershot DSC-W55

I love this camera. I use it almost every day for taking pictures of items I sell on eBay. It shoots very clear pictures. And the lithium ion battery holds a charge for quite a long time before you have to recharge it. I bought it off eBay for $30.00 and I must say that this was one heck of a deal! The big 2.5" lcd screen is just the right size. I realize there are newer and slimmer, fancier digital cameras out there with bigger lcd screens higher megapixels, higher zooms, etc, but for what I use this camera for, it's perfect. I plan on using it for family get functions, vacations, parties, and such. It makes me feel really good to find great deals and this is at the top of the list. I would recomend this to anyone out there and I'd encourage you to try to find a good deal like I did. XavierRead full review...

Sony Cybershot

I decided to purchase a compact digital camera to try photograghy with more modern technology. I looked at Kodak and Sony camerasfor several months before making this purchase. My daughter also has a Sony and has been happy with it. I am still learning all the functions of this camera, but have enjoyed using it. It's compact and takes great pictures. This is a great little camera and I'm sure it will be used often. It has a rechargeable battery pack which is better than constantly buying batteries. It's very easy to use.Read full review...

Love Sony Cyber-shots! This is my 4th

My first Sony used 3.5" discs -- great camera for the time. My next cost me about $500.00 and I loved it! Bought my first Sony DSC-W55 for about $200.00 and have used it everyday for 3 years -- bought this one so that I can use both everyday -- I keep one set for e-mail type photos and the other for higher resolution photos. Highly recommend this camera -- they work everyday and can take lots of abuse (although I would not recommend that) and check out e-bays camera batteries too -- can save you a bundle!! I am sold on Sony camera products and will probably continue to buy them due the their durability and value.Read full review...
