<p><strong>Reviews of the Sony Cybershot DSC W7</strong></p>
<p><b>Divernet</b> review the <a href="http://www.divernet.com/photog/digital1005/index.shtml#dcs233">Sony Cybershot DSC W7 with Sony MPK WA housing</a></p>
<blockquote><p><i><br />
A much bigger camera but, like its sibling listed here, this Cybershot has probably the largest and best LCD screen display of any. It is simply superb. It has a fast (f2.8) lens that is good in low light conditions and turned out to provide among the sharpest results.<br />
It allows for complete manual control if needed &#8211; but no manual white balance, only factory presets. Nevertheless, this model was one of our two favourites. It uses a proprietary Sony Memory-stick.<br />
</i></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Imaging Resource</strong> have a very detailed review of the <a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/W7/W7A.HTM">Sony Cybershot DSC W7</a>  They conclude with this&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><i><br />
<strong>Pros:  </strong><br />
    * Very fast, excellent shutter response, very good shot to shot speed<br />
    * Fast startup/shutdown time<br />
    * Better than average color accuracy<br />
    * Very capable movie mode<br />
    * Very fast multi-burst mode, great for analyzing golf/tennis swings<br />
    * Large 2.5&#8243; LCD display<br />
    * LCD is usable in very bright light<br />
    * Excellent low-light shooting capabilities<br />
    * Unusually bright AF-assist light<br />
    * Design is compact but usable, fits the hand well<br />
    * Good battery life </p>
<p><strong>	Con:	</strong><br />
    * So-so handling of household incandescent lighting<br />
    * Autofocus tended to focus on objects in front of the main subject more often than I&#8217;d like/expect<br />
    * Rather contrasty default tone curve<br />
    * Image noise is higher than average<br />
    * Anti-noise processing trades away some subtle subject detail </p>
<p>&#8220;Simple pro lighting and use tips let you snap stunning photos.<br />
The Sony DSC-W7 is a nearly identical follow-on to the preceding (and extremely popular) DSC-W1 model, the main differences being a larger 7.2-megapixel CCD, 32 megabytes of internal memory, and a couple of extra exposure options. Like the W1, the Sony W7 provides more manual exposure control than most compact models permit, yet is easy to use in full-auto mode, and its seven preprogrammed scene modes help with tricky subjects. The large 2.5-inch color LCD monitor is excellent for framing and reviewing shots, and the overall design and layout of the W7 is user-friendly and hassle-free. If you&#8217;re looking for a great &#8220;take anywhere&#8221; camera with great versatility and excellent color and tonality, the Sony DSC-W7 deserves strong consideration.&#8221;<br />

<p>A customer at <strong>Yahoo shopping  </strong>has good things to say about the <a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Sony%20Cyber-shot%20DSC-W7%20Digital%20Camera:1991719471:page=user-reviews;_ylt=Ahahm38qcg9bfJbuYPwnbUVMnMUu;_ylu=X3oDMTBubWI1aDE3BF9zAzU3NjkwMzQzBGx0AzQEc2VjA3Ny?clink=dmss//ctx=sc:gphoto,c:cdigicamera,mid:59,pid:1991719471,pdid:59,pos:8">Sony Cybershot DSC W7 Digital Camera</a></p>
<blockquote><p><i><br />
<strong>Pros:</strong> great photo quality</p>
<p><strong>Cons: </strong>picture blurs if hand is not that steady, so work on that</p>
<p>I received this camera yesterday as an early Christmas present from my parents. Although initially I wanted the SD 450 from Canon, my parents bought this one for me. Still, after using the camera for a while I was actually delighted with the results. The best feature however is that you can use it as a camera as well as a camcoder with full sounds. Love that! A 1GB memory card runs a long way with 1000 pics and over 1 hr of video. The battery life is good too. All in all I am very happy with this camera.<br />

<b>Product Description</b><br />
 The Sony Cybershot DSCW7 steps up the Cybershot line with a new 7-megapixel addition to the family, allowing you to capture enough detail for photo-quality 15 x 20-inch prints. A large 2.5-inch LCD display lets you get a great view of what you&#8217;re shooting, and a fast start-up and short shutter time ensure that you won&#8217;t miss a moment.</p>
<p><strong>1/1.8-Inch 7.2-Megapixel Super HAD CCD</strong><br />
Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.</p>
<p><strong>3x Optical/2x Digital/6x Total Zoom</strong><br />
Optical zoom helps you fill the frame with your subject for better pictures. And Sony&#8217;s Precision Digital Zoom helps bring your subject closer with an extra 2x magnification.</p>
<p><strong>0 to 14.0x Smart Zoom Feature (at VGA Resolution)</strong><br />
The Smart Zoom feature intelligently uses the full CCD to let you zoom into the portion of interest by cropping the image size&#8211;thus avoiding the image degradation of digital zooms.</p>
<p><strong>Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens</strong><br />
The Vario-Tessar lens is specially produced for very compact cameras. This specialized design allows quick auto-focus, appealing zoom range while still maintaining a compact design.</p>
<p><strong>The Sony Cybershot DCSW7&#8242;s large LCD</strong><br />
The Sony Cybershot DCSW7&#8242;s large 2.5-inch LCD makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.</p>
<p><strong>Real Imaging Processor Technology</strong><br />
The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSCW7 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag, and improves battery stamina.</p>
<p><strong>2.5-Inch LCD Monitor</strong><br />
The extra-large high-resolution 115K LCD monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy.</p>
<p><strong>Live Histogram Display</strong><br />
Available in capture and playback the Live Histogram Displays the concentration of pixels at each luminosity value making it easy to evaluate correct exposure.</p>
<p><strong>14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion</strong><br />
Sony&#8217;s 14-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.</p>
<p><strong>5-Area Multi-Point Auto Focus</strong><br />
By evaluating 5 separate focus areas of the frame, Sony&#8217;s Multi-Point AF system can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background.</p>
<p><strong>Manual Exposure Mode</strong><br />
Manual Exposure Mode provides extended control with 46-step adjustable shutter speed (30 to 1/1000 second), and 2-step aperture control.</p>
<p><strong>AF (Autofocus) Illuminator</strong><br />
Briefly illuminating the subject, in low- or no-light conditions, the AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.</p>
<p>Selectable Focus Mode<br />
Monitoring AF (Auto Focus) helps you anticipate the action by focusing even before you press the shutter release.</p>
<p><strong>Multi-Pattern Measuring</strong><br />
Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-Pattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow isn&#8217;t centered in the frame.</p>
<p><strong>Scene Selection Mode</strong><br />
With 7 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Candle.</p>
<p><strong>Pre-Flash Metering</strong><br />
With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction ensure great flash shots.</p>
<p><strong>Slow Shutter Noise Reduction</strong><br />
During long exposures, Slow Shutter NR captures the scene, and then the CCD noise pattern with a dark frame exposure. By subtracting the two, even long exposures can be clear.</p>
<p><strong>Memory Stick Media and Memory Stick PRO Media</strong><br />
Digital. Powerful. Transportable. Memory Stick media is compact, portable, and rugged, connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.</p>
<p><strong>32MB Internal Memory Included</strong><br />
Shoot without a flash memory card with 32 MB internal memory; Slot for optional Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO media. Full 32MB of internal memory can be copied to optional Memory Stick media.</p>
<p><strong>5-Shot Burst Mode</strong><br />
Capture up to five 5MP shots (fine) or 100 shots VGA (standard) at 0.9 frames per second. Perfect for high speed subjects or fast moving action such as sports or small children.</p>
<p><strong>Multi-Burst Mode</strong><br />
Captures 16 320 x 240 frames as part of a single 1280 x 960 image which plays back sequentially in the camera. Selectable 1/7.5, 1/15, 1/30 second.</p>
<p><strong>MPEG Movie VX Standard/Fine Mode with Audio</strong><br />
Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.</p>
<p><strong>Conversion Lens Compatible</strong><br />

<p><strong>Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries</strong><br />
The high capacity 2100 mAh AA NiMH batteries provide reliable, long-lasting power for continuous shooting. The supplied BC-CS2 charger provides a convenient way to charge the batteries.</p>
<p><strong>Product Description</strong><br />
