Sony DSC-W55 review, find out how the DSC-W55 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
A stylish Slimline point-and-shoot camera with some useful shooting modes and excellent close-up capability.Sony's new Cyber-shot DSC-W55 is an update to the popular W50 model with higher resolution and a greatly expanded internal memory. The CCD imager offers 7.1-megapixels, while the internal memory has risen from 32MB to 56MB plus an expansion slot for Memory Stick Duo cards. Physically little has changed in the new model although its brushed aluminium cladding now comes in four colours: Caribbean blue, blush pink, black and silver. The camera body itself is made from plastic, which contributes to its light weight.
This budget digital camera is a £10 upgrade to the Cyber-shot DSC-W35, which buys you a nice brushed-metal fascia and a larger LCD screen. It's not the most exciting camera in the world, but its clear and pleasing photos make it worth a gander
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 (Compact Camera): 4.8 out of 5 stars from 5 genuine reviews on Australia's largest opinion site ProductReview.com.au.
Sony Cyber-Shot W55
