Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 Review

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 is a new 14 megapixel compact camera with a wide-angle 5x zoom and 2.7 inch LCD screen. Featuring a metal body, the Sony W380 offers a high-quality 5x, 24-120mm equivalent Sony G lens with a fast maximum aperture of F/2.4...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 is a doppelganger of last year's WX1 camera that we liked so much, with a few less features and cheaper price tag, but it's unfortunately ruined by the 14 megapixel sensor and the resulting noisy, smudgy images. Starting...

Sony Cybershot DSC-W380 Review

 

I was able to try out (ok my wife took most of the shots) this little point-and-shoot camera from Sony during my Holy Week trip to Cebu. The Cybershot W380 is a very lightweight and compact 14.1 megapixel shooter from Sony.

I would say that the Sony Cybershot W380 is really an excellent compact point-and-shoot digital camera. The wide-angle shots, the bright lens and the not-so-amateur looking macro shots that it can do makes it very competitive with other small...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 digital camera

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 boasts a 14.1Mp CCD image sensor, Sony's own G-lens with 24mm wide angle and 5x optical zoom

Captures decent images, 720p video recording

Delay when zooming, shaking hands can easily lead to blurred photos

The Sony Cybershot DSC-W380 camera is packed with features and is good in terms of performance but falls short of being exceptional. It also records 720p HD video.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380

 

If you want an easy-to-use reliable ultra-compact, the W380 is hard to beat

The Sony Cyber-shot W380 is an excellent little camera, and certainly one of the best ultra-compacts currently available. It is quite expensive, but it offers superior build quality, stylish and efficient design, a good range of features, easy...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 camera

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 is a compact camera that offers a range of features in a pocket-friendly package. Aimed firmly at the point and shoot end of the market, the W380 is amongst the smallest compact cameras out there measuring 91.7 x 51.9mm,...

Simple to use, compact, Sweep Panorama works well

Build quality, image noise, poor quality HD video, no HDMI

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 is a simple to use camera that will return average results for those looking for a point and shoot compact. It doesn't try and complicate things or set itself above its station, except perhaps with the 14.1-megapixel...

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC W380 review

 

Some promising features including a wide-angle, wide-aperture lens, but the 14-megapixel sensor spoils any chance of high image quality

Sony Cybershot DSC-W380 review

 

The Sony Cybershot DSC-W380 has a simple compact design and a solid metal body. The matte-dark finish of the body ensures that the camera can withstand scratches and smudges. The camera might not be as slim as its stylish Cybershot T brothers, but the...

The Sony Cybershot DSC-W380 camera is packed with features and is good in terms of performance but falls short of being exceptional. It also records 720p HD video.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W380

 

The compact Cybershot DSC-W380 from Sony offers many useful features at affordable price but it captures rather ordinary images.

24-mm wide angle lens ; 720p HD video recording ; Sweep Panorama ; Good build quality ; Compact design

Slow response to overall operation ; Rather ordinary image quality ; Average HD video

The DSC W380 camera priced at Rs. 14,990 is packed with features and is good in terms of performance but falls short of being exceptional.

Another unique thing about the Sony cyber shot w380 is that it is not complicated in terms of usage. Even those that haven not used it before will like it since it has easy instructions that are easy to grasp. This model is particularly ideal for...

Wow, at last i got a review on this camera. On every site they have given only the technical details. By the way nice review, can you provide more details in photographers point of view – I mean picture modes, ISO settings, shutter speeds, zoom,...
