Sony DSC-W730 Voucher

Jeff Kraus (Orlando, FL USA) : The DSC-W730 contains a 16.1 megapixel sensor in the 1/2.3" format (about 28 square millimeters, smaller than a fingernail). The obvious drawback here is noise. The more pixels you cram into a small area, the more digital noise that will be evident in the resulting file. On its own, that's a reduction in quality that negates the need for such a dense sensor; who cares about the extra megapixels if you're not getting any more actual information, just noise? All it's doing is filling up your hard drive faster. In the case of the DSC-W730, you're talking about around 6.5MB per image. You'll even hit the limits of the optics well before 16.1 megapixels, so there's absolutely no reason (other than marketing) for Sony to put such a sensor in this camera.

Katharena M. Eiermann "Existential Diva -- Pr... (1,000 miles from Nowhere...) : I chose the Silver Cyber-Shot, which has a sort of brushed satin, finger print resistant finish. Sleek and classy, goes with most any outfit! The screen is large and (for Me) easy to view without using a magnifying glass. The slightly recessed buttons are easy to press, respond well. The camera navigates from mode to mode, function to function et al with ease and is pretty fast. When powered on, the navigation icons, are good sized, colorful and invoke a sense of fun -- and, have readable balloon pop ups that explain what each selection does.

L. Steiner (nj) : I am not a photographer, and I don't understand very well all of the differences between different models and brands. I just want an easy to use camera that takes clear pictures, and this camera does it pretty well. It also takes very good videos. I love the small size and solid feel and how quickly it turns on and is ready to go. I also appreciate the rechargeable battery, which for my purposes lasts a long time. Im still learning how to play with the visual effects, and will update my review after I've had the camera a little longer.
