Advantages: Compact design; fast response times; two continuous-shooting modes; strong battery life.
Disadvantages: Small LCD screen; limited manual settings; photos exhibit a slight softness; wrist-strap hook gets in the way.

...The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S40 has an impressive range of features, including a 4.1-megapixel sensor, a Carl Zeiss 3X zoom lens, two burst modes, 640x480 video capture at 30fps, strong battery life, and fast response times. Shaped like a bar of soap, the Cyber Shot DSC-S40 is thicker than many other point-and-shoot models. The case allows a secure grip, which is especially important when you need to concentrate on your next photo. Measuring 3.9 by 2.0 by 1.3 inches, it's small enough to fit into any kind of pocket. And at 6.5 ounces with a Memory Stick and two AA batteries installed, it isn't very heavy. The 1.5-inch LCD seems small when you realize there's enough room on the back of the camera for a 2-inch screen which is slightly ennoying but though small, the screen is detailed enough to let you judge the quality of potential shots...

Advantages: Wrist wrap, Leather case and good protection
Disadvantages: None

...The Sony Cyber Shot LCSNA is a case for the Sony Cyber Shot digital camera. I bought this to basically protect my digital camera is it's small and delicate. The other reason I got this case was that the camera is small and I just wanted it in a casing so it would be easier to handle and it wouldn't just slip out of my pocket easily. The case itself is black in colour, compact and light in design just like the camera and snugly holds the camera. The case is made from genuine leather and comes with a wrist strap for easy carrying and accessibility when you're out and about. The Cyber Shot logo is also embedded on the outside flap of the case which itself is Velcro for easy access. Main information: - Wrist strap - Black colour - Leather - Dimensions (WxDxH) 10.8 cm x 3.8 cm x 7.6 cm Overall the Sony Cyber Shot LCSNA case... Read review

Disadvantages: Needs large memory stick - due to high quality

...>. My Sony Cyber-shot .< When purchasing a new digital camera, it is very hard to see to choose which one to buy as there are so many on the market, and now all the prices are being driven town. As background information I purchased my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W17 from www.amazon.co.uk for £202 - and those who have used amazon will truly know that the service provided is second to none. I shall start with the general technical jargon about the camera. >. Technical .< The camera will gently fit into your palm as its dimensions are 9.1 cm x 3.7 cm x 6 cm and weighing in at less than 0.2kg it is truly one that can be slid comfortably into the pockets of your jeans. As stated above the camera is a jet black which is a pleasant change from all of this 'naf' silver that we see the these days. It does not comprimise technology... Read review

Advantages: Trendy, Small,Within budget
Disadvantages: Lack features e.g Digital red eye removal

...This Sony Cyber shot has a 7 megapixel that I personally view as being on the border of budget and fashion.Even though it does not contain all the qualities of T and W series, it is definitly better than the S-series.With its small size, i can easily put it in my pocket together with the battery and the memory card.What i love with this cyber shot is the 9-point autofocus system that helps the camera lock onto subjects, and face detection can automatically adjust focus and exposure to suit the faces in your picture.It also have an adult and children detection mode which can differentiate between them in group. However i have to admit that it does lack the radial blur, fish-eye lens, and unsharp masking.Above all i would love if it did contain digital red eye removal. I personally own this product but after a few research i found... Read review

Advantages: Small, well-built, solid, excellent pictures
Disadvantages: none identified

...that the included "Cyber-shot Viewer" Software supplied be installed onto your PC. This will enable you to view pictures on the camera and provided some limited editing feature. I didn't bother. I was quite happy to connect it to my PC using the included USB lead and let Windows do all the work. If you are, like me, running Windows XP the system immediately picks up the connection of a new device, recognises it as a Sony W100 and then prompts what you want to do with it, view files, copy files etc. As I am quite comfortable using Windows Explorer, I viewed the files. I chose to do it this way for one simple reason. I do not usually print my photographs out. I have done, but this has been the exception rather than the rule. I am used to how my monitor displays pictures and am more likely to pick up any problems by viewing images onscreen than in any... Read review
