The Sony DSC W1 is a five megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens. You can pick up the camera, turn it on and start taking pictures if you wish to, but there are also a number of features that let you take more control over the final image. I would describe the Sony DSC W1 as a good all round family digital camera as it combines the ease of automatic use with a number of more in depth controls.
If you are looking for a camera to take all the usual shots for the family album, holiday photos and various get togethers then take a good look at this camera.
