## Description

It's the amazingly easy-to-use camera that slips right in your pocket-with an 8x optical zoom, 16.1MP photos and beautifully-detailed HD videos. And pics stay clearer, even with shaky hands thanks to Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. You can also enhance your images with built-in effects that adjust skin tone and texture or even whiten teeth.

Review: It's a 9.5 on a scale of 10. - The Sony DSC-W730 is all I could expect from a point and shoot camera. We travel extensively, and my wife enjoys scrapbooking, So this light, flexible use camera is perfect for taking all types of photos. The mode of picture/pano/movie is easy to change. The 8x zoom is as much as anyone with normal photographing needs. And with the lithium battery and a 16gb SD card, you are good to go for the entire day. After years of carrying bulky Nikons and Cannons with various lens, this Sony, and others that I've had previously owned, is a joy to own. I really enjoy the panoramic mode, especially when traveling and taking photos of wide vistas of various types. I've taken great photos of PNC Park in Pittsburgh, The Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas,the rainforest of the Eastern Caribbean just to mention a few. And there are online sites that will print them, or you can crop them to suit your needs. My only downside is the 16 megapixel images. The files are large, and to upload them to an online photo service takes more time than my previous Sony. A 6.5 meg picture is a lot of megapixels. Clear, sharp, absolutely, but my previous camera with 14meg was just as clear. The good thing is you don't need to shoot in the 16meg mode. You can reduce it to 10, and even further down. I would have wished the gap from 16 to 10 wouldn't have been so distant from each other. A 12meg setting would have been a better choice. In closing, if you're not some special effects buff, and the Sony does do some of that, like a fireworks mode, etc, but take photos of vacations, birthdays, sporting events, and all around general use, you can't find better than this Sony for quality and weight.
Review: Just ok - The camera is ok. Not as great as I expected for what I paid for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little camera
*by T***T on June 6, 2014*

I really like this camera. It takes awesome photos for a small camera. I like it because I can carry it in my purse and always have it at hand. I am not a technical savvy person. This camera is easy to use as well as getting the pictures off the camera. This is my second Sony camera, I had a earlier version of this camera that I loved also, but I dropped it with the zoom lens opened. I decided to get the same camera, but an upgrade with a better zoom.
