Sony's Cyber-Shot DSC-W570 is a tiny camera that's adequate, but nothing special. Overall, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 isn't an impressive camera, even for its £119 price tag. We think it's hard to use and its picture quality isn't as good as what...

Small size, style, point-and-shoot ease

Rear zoom location, poor LCD viewing angle, occasional ‘flicker' of LCD screen, limited controls

All the electronic trickery is orchestrated by a powerful BIONZ processor that ensures clear, detailed images and reduced noise whilst maintaining quick and responsive camera action. With a 6.7cm, high contrast LCD screen all your pictures can be...

Small, simple menu system, f/2.6 lens

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 is available in India at a maximum retail price of Rs.9,990. One may be able to get it for a little lesser as well in the market. This camera is an above entry-level camera and it is designed keeping both genders in mind....

Small, stylish form factor ; 25mm wide-angle lens ; Well priced

Average video quality ; LCD screen not colour accurate ; Crunchy, over-processed images ; Slow performance

The W570 is a gorgeous little compact camera that produces images that are only just OK. It's fine for snapshooters who want a simple, pocket-sized camera. More serious photographers looking for a point-and-shoot should look elsewhere.
