CNET.com: Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W100 Digital Camera Review
CNET reviews the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W100 camera which, while not blowing away the competition in its category, would nevertheless, adequately shoot those photos and movies on your next holiday. 'As the current top-of-the-line model in its Cyber Shot W series, Sony's Cyber Shot DSC-W100 shares almost everything with its siblings, the DSC-W70, the DSC-W50, and the DSC-W30: it uses the same ultracompact 6.7-ounce body , 38mm-to-114mm 3X zoom lens (35mm equivalent), and bright 2.5-inch LCD. The W100 ups the resolution to 8 megapixels, sports a textured finish on its metal front panel, and adds a manual-exposure mode, but ultimately isn't a much more compelling buy than the similar-performing W50, which costs between $50 and $100 less.'
