The Sony DSC-WX100 is a stylish new compact camera with a vast array of advanced features. Just 17.5mm slim (at thinnest point), the WX100 has an 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor for better low noise performance, 1080i Full HD movie recording, 10x optical G Lens with a 25mm wide-angle setting, and a 2.7 inch LCD screen with 460k dots. Also on offer are 3D Sweep Panoramas and 3D still images, high resolution panoramas, Superior Auto mode which combines up to 6 images to reduce noise and maximise dynamic range, 10fps continuous shooting, and Background Defocus mode to create portraits with a smoothly defocused background. The Sony DSC-WX100 is available in silver, white or black and costs around £179.99. Looking at the Sony Cyber-shot WX100 is a bit like looking at one of those Hot Rods that were all rusty and beaten up on the outside, but when they set off, they made your teeth chatter. That's not to say that the outside is all beaten up. The analogy simply describes that the unassuming exterior gives no indication to the apparent power that lies beneath.
These days, it seems like a camera's zoom is becoming the number one selling point for manufacturers. After standard, slightly bulky compacts saw their zoom power seriously boosted, more stylish, more compact, more mid-range models are now starting to head upwards of 10x. The Sony WX100 is the latest such model, with a 25-250 mm zoom lens packed into a sleek 22 mm thick casing. Some new cameras are newer than others, and the Sony WX100 is one of those same but different kind of models. From the outside, the WX100 looks and feels almost exactly like the WX7. In fact, from the back, it's practically a straight copy, with an identical set of buttons, the same rounded-off edges, the same feel under your fingers and the same black frame around the screen. Obviously, though, the cameras aren't 100% identical, after all, the symbols and labels have been switched from grey to white. Plus, the strange crevice on the left-hand side of the WX7 screen has been removed in this model. These, however, are minor details, and while some may appreciate Sony's efforts to standardise its compacts (coherence in a range is always important), our criticism of the buttons and control wheel in the WX7 can be carried over to this model, as no improvements have been made on that front.
