Compact, robuste et riche en fonctionnalités, le DSC-WX1 propose un capteur CMOS ExmorR de 10,2 mégapixels. Celui-ci offre une probante réception de la lumière, pour une image irréprochable, même dans les endroits sombres. De plus, le processeur BIONZ du DSCWX1, épaulé par un réducteur de bruit numérique Clear RAW NR, empêche l'obscurité de gâcher vos meilleurs clichés. Des détecteurs de sourire et de visages avec suivi garantissent par ailleurs des portraits réussis. Le balayage panoramique saisit, lui, une série d'images à la volée pour les recombiner en une très large et restituer des paysages à couper le souffle. Le DSC-WX1 bénéficie en outre d'un stabilisateur optique qui contribue à réduire le flou. Ainsi, son optique Sony G avec zoom 20-120 mm (équivalent 24x36) donne un maximum de précision dans les circonstances les plus improbables. Enfin, il vous permet de profiter de modes vidéo et diaporama, pour partager vos images aussi bien sur téléviseur que sur papier. Less

I bought this camera on a cruise when my other camera failed. In general, I've been pleased with it. the resolution and color balance are very satisfactory. The speed with which it writes to the media also exceeds my expectations. The operating controls are flexible, yet simple, and the automatic... Read full review »

Pros Qulality product Feels substantial Looks good Weather-proof
Cons Viewfinder too dark! Deal breaker.
Recommended it? No

I've been using a 3.0 mpxl Olympus Stylus for the last 2 years.. LOVE it!! Weather-proof.. bullet-proof..Idiot-proof. The only problem is my wife and I are constantly fighting over it so last week we agreed we'd buy another. Did my usual anal research and decided we'd try the Olympus Stylus 740....

Pros Sturdy, good flash, good video, easy to use!
Cons Shutter lag.
Recommended it? Yes

I own this camera and the older version and have REALLY enjoyed both. This camera has a ton of options and is easy to figure out. The flash works great, pictures turn out well, the video works well, the battery lasts long. I tend to drop it a lot, so it has scratches, but not only... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Lightweight
Cons Short Battery Life, Shutter Lag
Recommended it? Yes

This camera is great for the price. It has easy features to learn and it lightweight enough to fit in your jeans pocket. We have owned this camera for about a year now and really like it. We use it on trips and just when an occassion pops up at home. A great camera to buy. Read full review »
