    Great...

    but i think that the pricing is high, considering the 10mpxls..

    but the link is not working for me, either..

    This is a review of Sony cyber shot dsc w-150(same series but 8 mpxls)

    read it..

    Opinion
    This camera had great potential however, it failed to deliver in the most important area....image quality. I have an H5, a 717 and had a DSC 70 so am a long term owner of Sony products. By far, this is the poorest camera of any. I sent it back to amazon after 2 weeks of extensive testing. Indoor pictures are very inconsistent as are outdoor shots. This experience was disappointing as I had hoped to use this compact camera as a convenient pocket supplement to the larger ones. I think Sony failed to really test this camera before rushing it to market. Avoid it until they correct the deficiencies.

    Problems
    -indoor shots automatically adjust to ISO 400 and are grainy.

    -For some reason unknown to me, the outdoor shots are very inconsistent. Some are acceptable but others are just washed out. I tested this camera under all lighting conditions and it is difficult to maintain consistent image quality. On the positive side, built quality is very good but I just could not accept poor images.

    ---update---
    review no.2

    Opinion
    I purchased this camera as a followup to a DSC-W180 I've had for less than a year. Quite impressed with the W180. The W150 though quite similar in operation, and with more features such as 5X zoom not 3X is not bad image quality wise, but my pics with the W180 just appear a bit sharper and brighter on default settings. Images at 5X aren't bad, but using digital zoom they suffer. Haven't compared the W180 and W150 toe to toe seriously, but should.

    Problems
    Initially pics appeared dark, as if underexposed a full stop--problem was computer monitor used, not camera-appear pretty decent on home pc. Thought camera came with new high stamina battery, but didn't.
