Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W510 Pro Reviews

The Cyber-shot W510 has some very attractive features for an entry level compact that will give it very broad appeal. First and foremost there's its super-wide angle lens starting at an all-encompassing 26mm equivalent. As well as big group photos, cramped interiors and great landscape shots this allows you to get close in for some very dramatic viewpoints. There are two minor niggles. One is the lack of physical image stabilisation which all the budget models we've recently reviewed suffer from. Possibly it's asking too much at this price point, but none of the alternatives, SteadyShot, Electronic Vibration Reduction or Anti-Blur modes really provides much of an alternative. The second thing is lack of HD video. A while back you could have made the same price argument about this but now that Canon has raised the bar with the PowerShot A1200 everyone else is bound to follow.
