Manufacturer's Description

The W210 gives you incredible technology in an easy to use package. Its features include 12.1 megapixel resolution, a large 2.7" LCD screen, a 30mm wide angle lens, a 4 x optical zoom, and some of the most innovative and exciting photographic technology available from Sony. You can look forward to the power of a BIONZ processor, Intelligent Scene Recognition and Enhanced Face Detection. The W210 is ideal for those who want to take their photography to the next level.

The power to catch every scene
The W210 contains the powerful BIONZ processor, which enhances image quality by handling large amounts of digital information at high speed. This reduces image noise and enables a faster shooting response. It is also fitted with Vario–Tessar lenses made by Carl Zeiss, the world renowned optical specialists. These premium lenses are highly rated by photographers for their colour precision, superb contrast and extremely low distortion levels at all focal lengths. The huge 12.1 effective mega–pixel resolution gives you the capability to make high quality images which maintain detail even when enlarged. The W210 also has a 30mm wide angle lens to allow you to make the most of panoramic scenes as well as indoor scenes featuring groups in tight spaces.

Face Detection finds and enhances faces in complex scenes View larger

Enhanced Face Detection helps you keep your portraits in focus
Face Detection is very handy for shooting larger groups and scenes where faces might get lost against a detailed background. The sensor recognises faces as faces and automatically adjusts the exposure, white balance and flash settings to show skin tones at their best. Up to 8 faces can be recognised in any scene and you can even set priority for children or adults.

Intelligent Scene Recognition lets you concentrate on the subject
This simplifies shooting by automatically choosing the best settings for your shot from Portrait, Macro, Landscape, Twilight, Portrait, Backlight Portrait and Backlight. This is particularly useful when you don’t have time to set your camera manually in awkward lighting conditions. The Anti–Blink mode prevents closed eyes spoiling otherwise good compositions.

High sensitivity sensor for low light
Look forward to stunning images taken even when the natural light is not at its best. The BIONZ sensor on the W210 is calibrated to a high ISO of 3200, making it highly sensitive to any light available. Higher sensitivity enables faster shutter speed and so also reduces the blur on images, even in low light conditions. This works with the W210’s SteadyShot function to keep your handheld shooting crisp and clear.

Enhanced Smile Shutter captures every smile
Flip a button on the T900 and you’re holding mini–camcorder. The T900 records clips at 30 frames per second and 720p HD resolution, and records sound in stereo. Shooting with 4x optical zoom power and high sensitivity sensor means your video clips will be as crisp and clear as your still images.

Retouch shots on the move
If you can want to improve your shot right there and then, you can even perform simple retouching operations in camera without needing to download the image to your PC — such as cropping, altering exposure or removing red–eye. You can also make the most of the W210’s 2.7" Clear Photo LCD screen by using it for playback as well as scene composition. It’s big enough to be viewed by more than one person, and the camera even allows you to add a music soundtrack and other fun effects so you can put on a real slideshow. Back at home, the W210 has an HD output too to allow you to show your still images at their best on an HD TV screen (optional cable required).

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Brilliant
I bought this camera as a gift for my wife. Since we received it, neither of us has been able to put it down. The pictures are so clear is it unbelievable. Also the smile recognition is perfect for taking pictures of our two year old (it is hard to time a smile forthe perfect picture)! Size is ideal for handbag and battery is really long lasting, even when playing around with the many functions.
This camera will suit any one who wants a point and click, whilst still having the option of many fun options if you feel the need. Very impressed that you can give people a smile on the camera itself rather than having to use PC photoshop software.
A must have camera for any family with young children!

Best in class
The "professional" reviewers I researched turned out to be right, the Sony Cybershot camera is still the best in class. With Carl Zeiss lens and simplified shooting settings stunning photographs are normal. This camera is brilliant!

Quality and ease of use is outstanding
This camera is a great compact camera, great images and easy to use. If you're a bit more experienced, the extra features are there for you to fiddle with to your heart's content.
