Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 Pro Reviews

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The WX5 delivers plenty of bang for a modest buck, so in that respect any potential purchaser will be sure to find some aspect of its performance to clasp to their bosom, if they can just ignore the slightly more gimmicky aspects. Manage that and the WX5 is one of those cameras with which you can't go far wrong.

Having said that the WX5 is £100 cheaper than the W3, which could make all the difference. Especially as, when viewed as a standalone product, the WX5 comes across very well when ranged against most snapshot rivals around the £200 mark in terms of ambition, build and creative opportunity. While not wholly a success, and gimmicky in parts, here Sony is delivering your money's worth. It's one of the better point and shoots on the market for around £200 and includes most of the latest must haves. We feel therefore that if you're looking for an occasional snapper to slip into a trouser pocket (or handbag), you won't go far wrong with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5.

Overall the WX5 offers plenty of features and good performance at a reasonable price. The 3D Sweep Panorama mode is an extra feature for those with a 3D TV but will probably not appeal to most. For around the £200 mark you are getting a stylish compact camera that will not disappoint and therefore will be money well spent.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Good autofocus, fast burst mode, as well as sweep panorama and a great personality make the Cyber-shot WX5 a very likeable camera, but the number of blurry shots we got during our time with the Sony WX5 prevents us from making it a Dave's Pick. As we've had to say a lot lately, it'll work pretty well if you never enlarge your images above 5x7, but if you care to crop or enlarge your pictures, you'll be happier with another model.

As a compact, everyday point-and-shoot camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5 distinguishes itself from the pack with its unique modes for low-light shooting, panoramic images, and automated but useful image effects. Seasoned photographers are bound to balk at the lack of manual controls (especially for the £279 asking price), but anyone who wants an easy-to-use pocket camera that goes beyond the competition in fun factor and image quality will find it a great match for their needs. Its 3D-shooting modes are nifty, but they're first-generation implementations, and ultimately they shouldn't drive your buying decision.
