Reviews of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 (silver)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast shutter; slightly longer-than-normal lens; handy on-camera editing and slide show functions
The Bad: Softening around edges; noisy at ISO 800 and higher
The Bottom Line: The W130's quick performance and decent image quality make it a solid follow-up to the W90, and a good choice for a pocket point-and-shoot camera.
