Sony dsc w55 review

For those who are limited in time, we write our conclusion at once: Sony dsc w55 is rather good choice in its category of budget digital cameras. The quality of images is a very decent; the price low enough, range of functions is identical to that of other Sony compact cameras (as well as, for general, compact cameras to other firms too). You can buy cheaper (Sony dsc w35), but then you’ll get the display which is smaller in size, and in some situations and some time since, may have compassion upon your economy.

In fact, we view mini rebranding of DSC W50, which, a year and a half ago, was considered one of the best compact cameras in the market.

The quality of the dsc w55's images is above average level for its class. No visible failures in any shooting modes can be revealed. Photos are generally clear and crisp, but, nagging at, you’ll notice slight blurring of some small details. Colors pass well, the more that the camera has a feature "white balance", which is recommended to practice, especially when shooting indoors.

Using sensitivity modes ISO100, ISO200, ISO400 tangibly helps to get good pictures in poor light conditions. But at the mode ISO 800 noise became really noticeable.

Camera lens has a qualitative Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optical zoom lens design (6 elements in 5 groups, 3 aspheric element). It is appears that this is the same lens that was in the earlier camera w50 (which isn’t bad, it was one of the best compacts in its time). The combined effect of the optical and intellectual zoom is 14x. Here is used improved Sony Smart Zoom feature, which allows keep on zooming only the center part of the frame, though with minimal distortions.

W55 has a large 2.5 inch display. By undeniable dignity of the camera (this is characteristic of all the cameras of W series), it has an optical viewfinder, useful when you shoot against the sun. This camera has a very good timing performance: the first and next shots images can be made in 1.3 and 1.4 seconds respectively, and with the flash turned on, the figure increased to only to 1.7 seconds.

Including batteries and memory card, which are recommended to purchase (although the built-in memory is rather authoritative - 56 mb) camera weighs only 147 grams. The dimensions of the device: 89x57x23 mm.
