Product Description

Staying true to Sony's tradition of style and performance, the Cyber-shot DSC-W80 digital camera has a number of great features in a compact metal case. The Cyber-shot DSC-W80 comes with a high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, a 7 million-pixel Super HAD CCD sensor and a Super Steady Shot stabiliser, enabling you to take magnificent photos that are rich in colour and packed with details. Meanwhile, its high sensitivity (of up to 3200 ISO) reduces the effects of blur when taking photos in low lighting conditions without your needing to use the built-in flash, and its BIONZ processor contributes to increasing the camera's speed by optimising the processing time of images. Despite its compact size, the Cyber-shot DSC-W80 still manages to include both an optical viewfinder and a 2.5" LCD screen, allowing you to choose your favourite shooting mode. The built-in face recognition mode maximises focusing so you can highlight the faces of the people you?re taking photos of, and the available scene modes let you quickly adjust the camera to suit your needs. The built-in retouch button is really handy for last-minute touches on your photos and the Full HD output lets you enjoy your photos on a high-definition television (HD cable not included). To sum up, the Cyber-shot DSC-W80 has all the essential elements for those of you who like to keep up with digital technology and style!

The Classic Slim Cyber-shot Digital Camera DSCW80

Design and Build The W80 is an advanced yet stylishly slim, easy to use camera with a robust full metal body, giving you both practical durability and sleekness.

Megapixels Digital photos are made up of dots of coloured light called pixels (picture element). To make a photo requires millions of pixels (Megapixels). The more Megapixels a camera has, the smoother and clearer the photos will be. So, Crisp, clear images are assured courtesy of the 7.2 effective Megapixel sensor.

Double Anti-Blur This technology enables you to shoot in difficult conditions such as low light, without the risk of ‘hand shake’ blurring your pictures. The combination of the Optical Image Stabiliser (Super SteadyShot), and high sensitivity even allows you to shoot without the flash, making your photos far more natural.

Zoooom The high quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens offers a 3x optical zoom range and a 6x digital zoom capability along with a combined 15x Smart Zoom. Shots can be framed using the optical viewfinder as an alternative to the 2.5’’ LCD screen.

Face Detection Technology Sony’s unique Face Detection technology enables the camera to recognise and track up to eight human faces in any scene, automatically optimising focus, exposure, flash and other settings for beautiful portraits and group shots under any conditions – even in low light or with moving subjects.

Sound and Vision The movie function will record not only the visual image, but the sound to go with it, so you can really capture the moment. All of which can be played back via your TV. With full HD quality connectivity, still images can be enjoyed with the highest possible quality on any BRAVIA television or HD-ready display (requires optional connection cable or HD docking station) offering users the ability to print stunning images or even enjoy them time and time again.

Extra memory Its easy to get carried away with shots that are so easy to take, so if your memory card fills up, or you forgot to put it in – we’ve all done it - there’s an extra 31MB of memory built in.

Battery The energy-efficient design of the DSCW80 delivers up to 340 shots between charges, so there’s less chance of missing that once-in-a-lifetime moment because you’re searching in a bag or pocket for a spare battery.

Pictbridge Direct Print It allows images to be printed directly from digital camera to a printer , without having to connect the camera to a computer. PictBridge-capable printers typically have a USB Type A port which is then connected by cable to the USB port of a PictBridge-capable digital camera (typically a Type Mini-B). The user then uses the camera to select the pictures to print, which the printer then retrieves from the camera and prints.

Customer Reviews

on my second one
totaly useless if you want to take on holiday i did twice the first one lasted 1 day before it packed up,the shutter open and closed all the time .the second one lasted 3 days before the same thing happend. the camera was sent back to sony who said it has sand damage and returned it. so you spend over £100 on a throw away camera. i now would,nt buy a sony product ever

Excellent camera for daily use
I have used Sony cybershot previously. Baugth W80 again to continue my good experience with sony. the camera is very easy to use and have many features if you want to play around.

double blurr removal technology makes sure tha tyour pictures are sharp and clear.

For night time pictures use ISO feature and a camera stand: you'll get SLR level results.
Camera fits in pocket, Battery life is ok, you should carry extra battery when willing to take many shots. Probably this is issue with all digital cameras.

Fantastic freebie!
I won this camera in a random competition, and have been extremely pleased with it! I normally always forget what the symbols for different settings mean, but the menu that pops up when you spin the button is perfect! It says the name and the description! I am really confused as to whether to sell or keep it, my only criticism (other than no memory card supplied with it), is the quality when the object is close-up; I have a Nokia N95, with the same Carl Zeiss Tessar camera, and my phone beats it on this one point.
