      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 Review

      By David Rasnake

      Pros: Crisp, clean images, even at high ISOs ; Impressive features set ; Sleek design, solid construction ; DSLR-like shooting speed

      Cons: Red channel clipping still a problem ; White balance inconsistent ; Menus can be dense, slow ; Do you really need Happy Face Retouch

      Verdict: So what makes the W170 worthy of a separate model name? Primarily, a 10.1 megapixel sensor that's slightly larger in addition to be higher-res than the W150's 8.1 megapixel variant. If there may not be a lot of new information to be uncovered in ...

      Sony DSC W170

      Review summary: The Sony DSC W170 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens. The lens is wide angle, so this is a big help when squeezing wide scenes into a photo. This is a handy camera and will fit into most pockets. It also has a viewfinder.

      Pros: Ease of use - price tag - viewfinder

      Cons: Sharpness of distant subjects

      Verdict: This is a decent camera and I am sure the wide angle lens will come in handy for many people. It is easy to use and has the added attraction of a viewfinder. You can also slip this camera into most pockets without a problem.
