Sony can definitely produce a good looking compact digital camera, but does the W70 stand out for its performance too?

Sony Cyber-shot W70

 

Another Sony Cyber-shot- but is it just more of the same

There's nothing out of the ordinary here, but the W70 is nonetheless, a good looking- strong performer, with impressive high ISO qualities.

Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W70

Can take very good photos in sufficient light; compact; easy to use; decent performance.

Photos display processing artifacts in shadow areas; above-average noise at ISO 200 and higher.

The ultracompact Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W70 is a competent snapshooter, but its cheaper, lower-resolution siblings, the DSC-W30 and DSC-W50, are better values.
