This is a really great little point and shoot camera. Your bang for the buck - size - to - picture - quality ratio is better than decent. The W350 is really tiny, yet I've gotten hundreds of professional quality underwater photos (I also have the marine pack for this camera). As far as portraits, macro, and still photos, the 14.1 megapixels packs a great punch. The different modes really come in handy (and I do use them) for different scenes, lighting, etc. The panoramic mode is a handy little feature, but takes a bit of practice to perfect. There is also a burst mode which I don't use too often, but the few times I have it's produced some really cool results. Another great feature is that it actually zooms while in video mode, a not so common feature in point and shoots. As for the cons, the flash is relatively weak, especially under water (common in a lot of Sony models). I find that my greatest annoyances with this camera are that it can take a while for the focus to hone in on the subject (thus, I find myself taking anywhere from 2-4 picture of the same thing, "just to be sure"), and that the reset time between pictures kind of lags too. All in all, this is a pretty diesel little camera for the price (if you can find it online, I wouldn't pay more than $180).Read full review
LIKES... It was what I was looking for - a relatively inexpensive "pocket-camera". One that I could carry easily in the pocket of a coat, keep in the console of the car, or take out in a small fishing boat with me. I did a lot of research (c/net and Consumer Reports) and they all rated the DSC-W350 as a great camera. In addition, c/net actually listed it as their top selection in the sub-compact category. DISLIKES... Well, the reviews mentioned it - yes, the on/off and "shutter" buttons ARE hard to find on the top of the camera; especially if you have big hands - I do. There is also a noticeable lag between the time you press the shutter and the camera takes the picture. So it works best when taking group photos, stills, etc. - not the best for action shots (i.e. the grandkids' soccer games). But it is still OK for what you pay/get. BUYING RECOMMENDATION... I bought JUST THE CAMERA for what I thought was a good price. But, by the time I also bought a memory card, the software to download the pictures to the PC, and the USB cable to do so, I'd have been better off to buy a COMPLETE outfit. My recommendation, BUY COMPLETE.Read full review
Love the size and picture quality. Is easy to use and very handy for carrying in a pocket. Miss the lack of a viewfinder. The operating controls may even be a bit too simplistic like when selecting photo modes (and lack of such a choice for higher iso setting for sports). All-in-all a good little camera to help fill in a niche' in my photo equipment arsenal. I'd buy another if needed or recommmend to a friend.. nice affordable camera for a woman's purse or a teen on the go. Also, would perfer a paper owner's manual than a cd, but that's not a biggie.
I bought this camera to replace a sony camera that I lost. This camera takes good pictures is light weight and easy to use. I disappointed the life the battery. I did buy this camera used on ebay so I don't know if that effected the life of the battery.(it is rechargable)I have not used the panoramic feature yet. I don't know if it is necessary. I would recommend this camera because there is vaule with the price of it. I would also like to recommend the DSC-w330 because of the wonderful pictures!
This is a great little camera that allows the user to get as technical as he/she wishes. It really helps to study the manual since there are so many features. Or, you can set it on auto and the camera will take care of everything for you. I like to so much this is the second one I have purchased.

The best digital camera for the money! I have used many brands and types of digital cameras, and the Sony Cybershot DSC-W350 has been the best hands-down. It is easy to use, yet has advanced features and an excellent lens. The camera is light and compact, but has good battery life. I love that it uses rechargeable batteries, saving tons of money, and adding to its convenience. I have had no problems with hardware or software, just great pictures, even in low light. In this very reasonable price range, Sony sells a great little camera which can run with the big dogs.
This camera is very good quality, take panoramic pictures, has good resolution, Face Detection technology Detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights.
I bought this camera to replace my dsc w55 which stopped working. I reviewed other cameras before I decided to buy this one. Based on my reviews, I found this model to be the best in value for the price range. I was not disappointed when I acturally received the w350. It was everything that was claimed to be; easy to use and set up, the quality of the pics are excellent,there are lots of features to make taking quality photos easy. All in all this is an excellent buy.
I purchased this item to carry with me on backpacking & hiking trips. Very compact & light, easy to use, and feature rich. Decent battery life and surprisingly good quality pictures for such a small camera. May be a challenge for someone older or with eye sight concerns as the controls are somewhat tiny and screen text small. Overall, very pleased with this camera.
This camera is sweet! I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I'm a very casual photographer but I really lucked out and got an awesome camera at a fantastic price. When it arrived, I took a couple of videos and pictures just kind of messing around with it and they both looked great even in crappy light! Very clear, smooth picture. The sound quality on the video is great too. No background hiss or anything like that. Very natural sound reproduction unlike my last camera. The battery has it's own wall chargin unit which is really cool. It only took a few minutes to charge 100% out of the box. I'm VERY happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this camera.
