Decent feature set for an entry-level compact. Some impressive image quality. Large LCD. ...
No viewfinder. Design—been there, done that. No standout features. ...
The $200 price range is one of the most popular places to be for a consumer on a budget, and with so many options, it can be overwhelming at times. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 was a great overall performer that actually gave us a decent image perfor...
Excellent 3-inch LCD; fun UI and slideshow features.
Image stabilization not always effective.
All in all, the Cyber-shot DSC-W230 offers a great bundle of features for the price, as well as a great LCD and a wide-angle lens. Its image quality was acceptable, but we’ve seen like-priced cameras that produce better results. ...

All in all, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 offers a great bundle of features for the price, as well as a great LCD and a wide-angle lens. It's one of the best point-and-shoots at this price level we've seen so far in 2009, even if it offers a bit less t...
The HDTV display is particularly fine, although if this setting is chosen in-camera it does limit printing options. Images are generally sharp, well exposed and with reasonable colour accuracy, if somewhat oversaturated. We found that if the pictures ...
We have had a soft spot for the Sony W cameras in the past because they had optical viewfinders. Only Sony and Canon compacts had this feature and now Sony has gone the way of the herd. This is a retrograde step. No matter what they say, there are sit...
Compact cameras, unlike DSLRs, are unforgiving. If all the conditions are not perfect — light, focus, exposure, contrast — then the pictures will be barely acceptable. But when the conditions are right, the little Sony does a good job. We let...

Easy mode is fuss free , Flash has a good range , Exposure bracketing
Buttons are too small , Battery life , Images displayed a fair amount of noise and colour artefacts , Flimsy lens , Smile shutter was too slow to respond and fussy
At a reasonably low price for budget shoppers, the W230 has quite a few nice features. Unfortunately, the camera has a lens that is not too sturdy, below par image quality and a battery life that will disappoint....
Not as slim as other compacts on the market, underpowered flash
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 is an impressive compact camera that is especially suited to beginners. It takes good photos, comes with an enlarged LCD and has one of the best user interfaces we’ve seen. All in all, a solid effort. ...
