My new toy  Sent: 30 December 2008
I bought this camera as my SLR camera can be a bit bulky to carry around at times and this easily fits in my pocket. I did lots of research prior to purchase and concluded that the Sony W130 would be a quality camera, which looks good, and would perform well. Although small and slimline,it is well built and the metal case gives it a stylish and solid look. I was not disappointed, as the camera takes a sharp photo, looks good and the various add ons make it a great buy at the price. The battery tends to drain quicker than expected, but I've just bought a back up battery so this is a minor drawback as far as I am concerned.
Great Value Sent: 18 November 2008
What I like about the camera is:
- it's very compact and easy to carry about
- the metallic finish makes it feel solid and durable
- the image quality is not bad, probably what would be expected from any typical 8MP
- the camera menu is fairly easy to use, less confusing than other cameras I have used in the past
The only thing I find that isn't ideal is the LCD screen which is not the brightest around so it is a bit difficult using it in bright (sunny) conditions. This is probably deliberate from Sony to improve the battery life which is satisfactory (so far).
Overall, it's certainly good value considering the price and features that go along with it. Highly recommended.

Great Camera, Great Price Sent: 16 October 2008
I bought this camera largely based on reviews from the site. HAving previously had a Sony camera, and then a bad experience with another brand (largely my fault admittedly!) I was keen to return.
This camera has not dissappointed so far - it is very compact and I found the menu's to be largely intuitive. The buttons are not too difficult to use although the zoom could be a little smoother! Another minor gripe is that you can't zoom when filming, but then this is firstly a camera, so I'll not harp on.
The smile function has to be seen to be believed - it is a great fun tool (although I have found the subjects do need to be facing directly toward the camera for maximum effect) and has captured some really great shots.
Used recently at my brothers wedding, the camera performed well in both bright daylight, cloudier conditions, and in the dark function room later on for the all important first dance.
Given the price of around £100, I'd say this camera offers excellent value for money. Having since seen a friends W150 with the extra optical zoom, I'd say that the extra is worth it if you can stretch the budget!
Enjoy!
Cool-looking camera that gives sharp bright photos Sent: 31 August 2008
After being really impressed with the picture quality from a friends Sony Cybershot DSC-W100 I decided to take the plunge with a Sony camera. This model took my eye because of the black design. After a few months of playing around (being a casual photographer) I am very happy with my purchase.
For me, the major plus points are:
sharp high resolution images at 8.1MP
a hefty 4x optical zoom
powerful flash that gives you superb photos in poor light
user-friendly menu and navigation
great looking camera
The low points are:
the camera is smaller than I imagined, feeling awkward in my clumsy hands
relatively small LCD screen - at 2.5cm (my old Kodak camera had 3cm)
annoying music when you turn it on - I havent got round to turning the sound off
I also advise getting a decent case as the screen looks like it will scratch easily.
