Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 is a somewhat plain-looking ultracompact that offers a huge 16.1 megapixel count for a bargain price. We know megapixels aren't everything though, so it's up to this camera's performance and features to set it apart. Ouch. The W570 gets off to a rough start in our color test, returning an error value of 3.95, which is rather high. Color accuracy is our most important test, since this affects how flattering human subjects appear and how convincingly other scenes are rendered. Poor white balance is to blame for the low score. Even after manual adjustment, the W570 settled on a color temperature that was too cool. Therefore the least accurate colors are blues and light greens. But some hot colors aren’t safe either, although yellows are relatively accurate, some reds are too dark. More on how we test color. This score is unsurprisingly trounced by two of our favorite budget point-and-shoots, Canon’s ELPH 100 HS and Samsung’s PL120. To put the results in context, the 100 HS returned an error value of only 2.48, almost an entire point and a half better than our Cyber-shot. Still, this isn’t the worst color accuracy we’ve seen. The similarly-priced Casio EX-S200 was wildly oversaturated, with an error rating of 4.53.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 review

What the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 lacks in size, it more than makes up for in features. This 16-megapixel camera is a great choice for first-time photographers or anyone who wants a carry-anywhere device as an upgrade to the snapper on their phone. It's available now for around £130.The W570 is ultra-compact. But, while it's easily slipped into a pocket and highly portable, it's not massively comfortable to use. We worried we'd drop it when holding it over water, and, although it's light enough to be held with one hand, it's also fiddly enough to need a second hand for support when you're using the buttons and controls. The W570 weighs just 100g, a great deal of which will be accounted for by the metal lens barrel and associated zoom, rather than the plastic body and 2.7-inch screen. The result is that this camera feels somewhat cheaper than its fairly low price already suggests. There's very little travel in the shutter button and the mode switch is a simple slider on the edge of the body that travels through the stills, panorama and movie settings. Look beyond its build quality, though, and the W570 does plenty to impress.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570

Sony's 16-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W570 is an ultra-compact digital camera in Sony's budget-conscious W-series. At under half an inch thick, it's barely bulkier than your run-of-the-mill smartphone, yet it takes better pictures. Despite its slim and trim build, the Sony W570 still manages to pack a 5x wide-angle optical zoom lens and a 2.7-inch LCD display. With a price tag of just US$180 you shouldn't be expecting the most full-featured digital camera on the market, and the W570 has just a modest helping of features. Still, you'll find a few goodies, including Sony's Sweep Panorama mode, optical image stabilization, and HD (720p) video recording. Look and Feel: The Sony W570 is definitely an eye-catching camera. Its diminutive profile helps, measuring 3.6 x 2.0 x 0.78 inches (92.2 x 52 x 19.9mm). It slips easily into your pocket. Given its size, you shouldn't expect a lot in the way of ergonomics, and the Sony W570's boxy size doesn't give you much to grab onto except a small piece of camera real estate on the sides. You don't really "grip" the camera so much as lightly hold it aloft. But that's okay. It's a trade-off you should expect in an ultra-slim compact. Be sure to attach and use the included wrist strap.

Sony Cyber-shot W570 review

Sony's W570 compact camera is a small and slender point-and-shoot model. The emphasis is on simplicity for those looking for an attractive and easy-to-use model that won't cost them the Earth.At the Sony Cyber-shot W570's heart is a 16.1-megapixel sensor, supported by a 5x optical zoom that ranges from a 25mm wideangle through to a mid-zoom 125mm equivalent. It's got all the range you'll need for group shots, portraits and zooming in that little further for subjects a little farther away. A 2.7in LCD screen on the rear shows compositions in real time, including focus area information, and can be used to playback and review still shots and videos captured with the camera. Video files are high definition 720p and captured at 30fps. iAuto is the W570's main operating mode which is designed to take control of everything including exposure, focus and all other settings. There is little in the way of intervening with taking a shot except for some flash control - the W570's ethos is very much point, compose and shoot.As with the majority of current Sony cameras there's also a Sweep Panorama mode that can be used to capture panoramas by moving the camera in real time - the camera then stitches together all the shots into one seamless, elongated panoramic image.

Digital Camera Reviews: Choose the Best Compact Camera

The Sony W series is a line of budget compacts with a bare minimum of tech specs and features. The priciest model in the range is the Cyber-shot W570 which still only sells for an RRP of £160. For that, you get a 16-Megapixel CCD (CMOS sensors only appear in the more expensive WX range), a 5x ultra-wide-angle zoom lens and a stylish design. The W570 is a great-looking camera. The smooth, rectangular front is nicely designed, as is the more curvy rear face, with a good-quality build and finish for an entry-level product. We're also fans of the two-tone colour scheme: our test model was gold on one side and chocolate brown on the other—original! As soon as you switch the camera on some of its initial shine wears off. The screen is 'very TN' with practically non-existent vertical viewing angles. In fact, the on-screen image starts to lose contrast as soon as you're about ten degrees above it and goes black from about ten degrees below. Even from the sides, the image soon becomes difficult to see. The screen's definition is no saving grace either as its 230,000 dots are only too visible.
