Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 digital camera
This slick Cyber-shot has a great LCD, neat in-camera features, and a wide-angle lens, but image quality and stabilization could be better.
Excellent 3-inch LCD ; fun UI and slideshow features
Image stabilization not always effective
The 12-megapixel DSC-W230 is well-constructed and looks sharp, too. It's available in four colors: blue, black, red, and silver. Its 4X optical-zoom Carl Zeiss lens offers a 30mm film equivalent on the wide-angle end, with 120mm on the telephoto end
