Sony DSC W320

 

This is a simple pocket camera. It takes very good snapshots and I was impressed with the pictures it delivered during testing. It is easy enough to use and is well priced.

Picture quality - Ease of use

Shutter delay times could be quicker

There are not too many features to confuse the issue.

Bit of a Bargain!

 

Good quality camera at a low price. Maybe isn't ideal for proper photography and the zoom isn't great but for an everyday tourist camera it does the job!
