This camera won't last!
I agree with most of the other negative reviews here- focus problems!! My camera lens is now stuck, and the camera is completely inoperable. It is about 2 years old, so I did get some good use out of it, but I am upgrading. Different brand this time!!

Nice Little Camera
I have used this camera for several years and I have enjoyed it. If you have extra batteries and memory sticks it helps alot! The only reason I am in the market for a new camera is that I would like the image stabilization feature. I have never really done anything special regarding settings and focus etc., and have been satisfied overall with this camera.

the best digital camera ever~!
Hi~! I bought this model without knowing that i was getting a piece of jewel~! It's very quick, its image quality is really supreme~! no noise, and the video quality is awesome~! I used several canon and other sony's... but they all had a lot of noise. It is a shame that i was stolen recently... I hope Sony is releasing another product this good. But I bought the W85 last month, but am very disappointed by its high noise and slow speed, and bad video quality.

A disappointment
This is my second Sony digital camera. My first was a 4.1 megapixel DSC-S85. It took great pictures -- never blurry -- in all light situations. My only complaint was that as one of the first generation digital cameras, the shutter lag was horrible! So, I had high hopes for the DSC-W5 when my husband gave it to me for Christmas two years ago. While the shutter lag was much improved, I quickly learned that this new camera did not do so well in low light, and if my hand moved in the slightest or unless our children sat less than absolutely still while taking a picture (those of you with kids are laughing right now, right?), the photo came out blurry. However, I became more disappointed when we had owned the camera for just under a year and the dial that allows you to move between modes started malfunctioning. Every time I tried to switch it to review mode, it would stay in camera mode. It was impossible to review photos unless the dial was set precariously between movie mode and review mode. We sent the camera back to Sony, and to their credit, they fixed it within a couple of weeks with no charge. However, it's been about a year since the repair and the dial is starting to malfuction again. The camera is also starting to eat batteries like crazy -- even the expensive rechargable kind. I wish I could recommend this camera since I was so satisfied with the photo quality of the DCS-S85. However, after two years worth of problems with the W5, my advice is to keep looking.

A decent point and shoot digital camera
This is a nice, light and compact camera. I've taken plenty of great shots with it and the LCD display on the back is definitely a plus. However, when trying to shoot in less than perfect lighting conditions it can be tricky to get a shot without blurring the image.
