The Sony Cybershot DSC W5/DSC W15 digital camera

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: The W5 is a very good choice for those looking for excellent image quality and incredible ease of use
Review: With the exception of its five megapixel Real Imaging Processor the DSC W5/DSC W15 is almost identical to its big brother, the very popular (7 megapixel) Sony DSC W7. The Sony DSC W5/DSC W115 was designed to appeal to veteran snap-shooters and...

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W5 5.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Fast and Easy to Use

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W5 if you want a cool yet capable camera with good optics, 5.1-megapixels, fast operation and a large...
Review: After trying out the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W7 7.2-Megapixel camera, I got the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W5 5.1-Megapixel camera to see how it compares to the W7. I got it for $265, which is a good price for a 5.1-Megapixel camera with good optics and...

An Incredible Find For The Price

Date of Review:  May 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Score of "4" across the board - a very good camera for the price that offers decent features with near-pro image quality. Look for sales. Worth the price.
Review: Intro:


These days, potentially bad cameras are usually reserved to off branded or lesser-known brands you see in office supply stores and on Ebay auctions. We're at the point in digital camera design that pretty much any camera you...

A Worthwhile Upgrade!

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: A great camera for the shutter speed, picture quality and LCD screen!
Review: Background

This Sony is our third digital camera. We purchased a Kodak DC215 (1MP) in December 2000 following the birth of our son. This quickly replaced our Pentax mid-grade SLR as the camera of choice. This Kodak was replaced in August...

DSC W5 may not be what are you looking for

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Nice camera for outdoors, but if you expect to shoot indoor most of the time - think again.
Review: Intro
I purchased W-5 to complement Sony F-717 which we already own. F717 is large and powerful camera, and I was looking for a camera that can be used to carry around at all times and which would take great outdoor pictures but would not...

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W5 Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: The picture quality is comparable to what I get with a totally manual camera. Manual operation of the camera is slower than other cameras but the auto features are excellent
Review: Personally I would love to go back to my totally manual 35mm camera, but the convenience of digital photography is too great. I personally like to have as many manual features at I can get so I'm the one deciding if a picture is how I want it. While...

Sony Cyber-Shot = Great Buy

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: I sing this camera's praises every time I pull it out... which is often. This camera is always on me. Highly Recommended.
Review: My first digital camera, a 2 mega pixel Sony Cyber-Shot, was a high school graduation present from my Dad. I loved my camera and, for 2 MP resolution capabilities, it produced great photos. Five years down the road I decided to make an upgrade. I...

$150 used on Ebay-worth the price!

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: A good Digital Camera for the money I paid.
Review: My digital camera is a work tool and lives in a pouch on my hip with my Engineers Field Book, so its got to be small and dependable. the Sony W5 is both.
I transitioned up from the P52 Cybercam (a nice workhorse in itself)and have found the W5...
