This point-and-shoot camera takes high-quality photos, has a big LCD, and offers some manual controls for users who want to do more than just select scene modes.
The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W7 camera is big on features, but surprisingly easy on your pocket-book. Casual photographers need to check out this 7MP beauty.
Features & Controls The Cyber-shot W7 features a Carl Zeiss 3x Zoom, 7.9 to 23.7mm (38 to 114mm equivalent), F2.8 - F5.2 zoom lens. It is constructed of 7 elements in 5 groups with 3 Aspheric elements. When powered down, the lens retracts into the body and is protected by a built-in shutter,
This is a good all-round model hampered only by its size compared to other compact cameras

IN-DEPTH review of the Sony CyberShot DSC-W7 digital camera, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.
This point-and-shoot camera takes high-quality photos, has a big LCD, and offers some manual controls for users who want to do more than just select scene modes.
Seven megapixel snapshot cameras are in vogue at the moment, but which one do you go for? Cliff Smith gives the low-down on Sony’s latest offering.
Announced along with a 5MP twin (the W5), the DCS-W7 is part of the second generation of Sony's 'traditionally-styled' compacts designed to appeal to the first-time user moving from a film camera to digital. Essentially the same as a Cyber-shot P200 in a larger more conventionally-styled body (and with a bigger 2.5-inch screen), the W7 builds on the success of the W1, which was something of a surprise hit last year. But does the W7 have what it takes to compete in the increasingly crowded 7 megapixel compact market? Read on to find out. Here's a brief summary of the main spec highlights:
Similar in shape, size and rangefinder-like styling to the 5-megapixel DSC-W1 model, Sony's new DSC-W7 has a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor, 32 MB of internal memory plus some additional exposure options, notably the addition of a centre-weighted metering mode and a new Snow scene setting in the Scene menu. The W7 was released just after a 5-megapixel model, the DSC-W5 (RRP $599), with identical features but lower resolution.
