Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX10

07.05.2011

As a truly pocketable camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX10 stands out for its 7X-optical-zoom lens and its unique modes for low-light shots, panorama images, and 3D stills. Shortcomings include its small buttons, lack of image sharpness, and very limited manual controls. As a day-to-day snapshot camera, it offers a lot more than most competitors do, including some of the smoothest 1080i video capture we've seen. Its price may be a bit high considering its trade-offs, but if pure portability is at the top of your wish list, it's hard to think of another ultracompact camera with this many creative shooting modes. It's tons of fun.
