CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.8

out of 10

The good: High 13.6-megapixel resolution; titanium-coated body; responsive face detection and Smile Shutter; optical image stabilization; low noise level even at high ISO.

The bad: Lack of wide-angle lens; average time-to-first-shot; uses only Memory Stick Duo storage media; relatively pricey for a point-and-shoot.

The bottom line: Although we like the features and image quality of the W300, it lacks a wide-angle lens which has become a must-have for a premium shooter. While other alternatives in the market may not offer as high a capture resolution as the Sony, they do make up with other features.

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: 13,6 Mpixel, double technology anti flou,IS, face detection and smile shutter, titanium coating, Full HD, and many more
Cons: minus wide angel
Opinion:
The first impression is satisfy and impressive.
This thing can capture great quality picture in low light density without flash.
Sony W 300 video, is also impressive, hard to say.
The minus can be support by " add support conversion lens "
so the minus, isn;t big problem.
Face detection, smile shutter and Image stabilizing ( In Sony W 300 Super Ready Stock).
The ISO can be up into 6400.

Compare between canon 860 and lumix FX 520,Sony w300 is much more better than all of them.

Typical Sony

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: Expected quality
Cons: Memory stick, since most of us have other cards.
Opinion:
Sony has a habit of killing their own products by making them odd.
