      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300

      By Rod Lawton

      Review summary: Sony's Cyber-shot W series is the one to choose if you just want a top-quality everyday camera. For around £190, the top-of-the-range W300 gives you an amazing 13.6-megapixel sensor, a titanium-coated body, advanced face and smile detection, ISO 6,400 ...

      Pros: Size and finish ; manual controls ; fast auto-focus

      Cons: Average lens ; gimmicky features

      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 Review

      By Gavin Stoker

      Review summary: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 is the top of the range model in Sony's W-series of premium compact digital cameras. The W300 is a new 13.6 megapixel model with a scratch-resistant titanium coating, 3x optical zoom lens equivalent to 35-105mm, and a ...

      Verdict: As ever with Sony's Cyber-shot range, the DSC-W300 is as much about style as substance. The metal build quality suggests this is a camera that you'll still be using a few years down the line, a feeling backed up by that whopping 13+ megapixel ...
