Sony W230 is a 12.0MP Small Sensor Compact camera with a 1/2.3-inch sized CCD sensor and 30-120 mm F2.8-5.8 lens. Read our W230 review to find its pros and cons.
At a reasonably low price for budget shoppers, the W230 has quite a few nice features. Unfortunately, the camera has a lens that is not too sturdy, below par image quality and a battery life that will disappoint.
