CNET have published their review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W35 digital camera. 'Though identical in size and shape to the DSC-W30, the 0.9-inch thick DSC-W35 is a full ounce lighter than its predecessor. With battery, the W35 weighs a scant 5.3 ounces compared to the W30's significantly heftier 6.8 ounces. A much lighter battery accounts for some of this weight difference, as the metal cameras respectively weigh 4.2 and 4.5 ounces without battery or memory card. Fortunately, the battery doesn't sacrifice any power with its weight; the W35's battery is a 3.6-volt, 960 mAh lithium-ion pack, just like the W30.

From the mode dial in the upper-right corner to the USB jack just below the LCD, the two cameras' designs are almost exactly the same. The controls are responsive and comfortable to handle, so we can't really find any fault in Sony recycling their design. The only problem we found was the anemic 2-inch LCD screen. We're glad that it leaves enough room on the back of the camera for an optical viewfinder, but these days a 2-inch screen just feels too small.'
