 Sony Cybershot DSCW55 7.2MP Digital Camera June 21, 2008
Highy recommend ! I have one of this my self and
2 other are gifts for my closed friends.
 Nothing but problems... May 28, 2008
I carefully researched and compared before I bought this camera - my 1st digital. I thought it would be a good camera for the price, but boy have I been wrong. I have only had it a little over a year. 6 months after I bought it the flash stopped working properly. Sometimes the flash would be so bright you cannot see the pictures and sometimes it would be too dark. Darker than taking a picture without the flash. Sometimes it would work, but very rarely. Now, 13 months after I've had the camera the zoom function has completely stopped working. In fact, if I even try to move it - it prompts me to turn off power and turn on again.
I'm just going to have to buy a new camera. What a waste of $200+!!
I would not recommend this model to anyone. This is my first Sony camera and I will definitely not be buying this brand again.
HORRIBLE durability! May 20, 2008

I got this thing and barely ever used it.. took OK pictures but I dropped it ONCE in the grass while i was camping and the shutter wouldnt open, the flash bulb blew out and I couldnt open or close the shutter! I sent it back and they wouldnt fix anything because I had tried to manually close the shutter to see if it would reset it self or something? But no.. they wanted me to pay something like $140 on a camera that I got for $150.. I always trusted Sony but now im going with another company. What a piece of junk! Get it if you know you will never ever drip it.. not even on soft grass. Good luck, losers.
Wonderful Camera!!! May 16, 2008
After almost 4 years owning the P100, I decided it was time to get a new camera, mostly because my husband and I had been sharing it and sometimes we both need it. Also, I wanted something smaller that could easily fit any purse. I almost went with the W120 but to be honest I wasn't sure if I needed some of the fancy functions. Plus I got an awesome deal on the W55.
Anyway I was hoping the W55 would work as good as it looks, and I'm glad it does! So far I have no complaints, it has pretty much the same functions as the P100, and a much bigger screen which I love. Another review mentioned the buttons being too small and I have to agree, I usually push the playback button with my nail and not my fingertip.
I take most pictures with flash so I can't comment on the blurriness a lot of people talk about, but I don't think it's that bad, just a matter of finding the right setting and using a tripod if necessary. Just be careful when taking video, it will do it with the settings you last used for taking pictures (such as black & white). I am very happy with this camera and I am hoping it will last for many many years!
 Horrible Pictures!!!!! May 13, 2008
I purchased this camera a over a year ago and it has become my enemy! I loved this camera in the beginning and now I hate it! This camera takes blurry pictures no matter the circumstance! I tried everything and even flipped through the manual several times to see if I had a setting wrong. I ended up getting so disgusted with my pictures and bought an Olympus Stylus 840. I have to say that it has been a lifesaver! My pictures have not been blurry and while using the zoom option, the pictures are still clear! I would not recommend this Sony to anyone. I would recommend the Olympus Stylus with the image stabilization and the bigger lens!!
