Being forced to use a propritary format like Memeory Stick is a reason why I have and never will look at Sony digital cameras.]]>Feb 19th 2007 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/Feb 19th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/
If I need zoom, I have a Nikon D50 and lenses to take care of that. However, it can be a pain to lug around sometimes, which is why I picked up a new point and shoot compact camera to fit in my pocket to bring with me everywhere.]]>Feb 19th 2007 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/

Well, If you want more zoom, Go for an SLR, Cos this is pretty much a pocket camera.]]>Feb 19th 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/
The build quality is also far less robust than the earlier Cybershot DSC-V models. After barely 6 months my W100 looks worse than my V1 after 4 years. The battery latch won't stay closed even from the beginning and the mode dial is incredibly flimsy.

I don't think that I will return to the Sony lines while they use the Memory Stick since these actually use the Pro Duo, and my old MSticks are now useless in it. The W series also throws out the mini-USB connection for a custom cable...]]>Feb 20th 2007 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/Jul 26th 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/19/sonys-cybershot-dsc-w80-their-latest-7-2-megapixel-camera/Jul 30th 2007 6:04PM
