RE: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1/B 10MP (Exmor R) Digital Camera (Black)

Suitable for low light only

This camera takes great pictures in low-light and that's all about this camera's positive points. There are many problems however:

1. There is always a shadow in the lower left corner of the pictures (because of very short distance between flash and lens).
2. Pictures come rounded (probably because of wide angle).
3. Twilight mode is very slow and so it's a pain to get good pictures in good-light conditions.

I have returned the camera and promptly got my refund.

Excellent buy for its price; a really good little camera.

This camera is really nice; low light pictures take a long time to take, but look great. Picture quality is better than I have had on past cameras, and come out pretty well. Very small and portable, and amazing value. Zoom is basically absent here, but I don't have a problem with it (especially for the price).

don't buy this camera

I've always been a sony camera guy, but this camera has a really big issue that I couldn't believe that it was real when I start testing the camera. If you take a picture with flash at 24mm, what is a really common use I have to say, it gets a black spot in the lower left corner. I believe this is due to the flash being close to the lens.

In summary, DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA. I returned it in the next day I received. Shame on sony for selling this camera with such a basic bug. Aren't they caring about quality anymore... hope this is an isolate case.

Great Camera

This camera takes great pictures day or night!! I have nothing negative about this camera and am very happy I made this purchase!!!
Sony also stands by their products as this camera was damaged by user accident, they fixed it for no charge - the extra protection I bought from a 3rd party would not fix it, and to send it out thru a local company would have cost almost as much as the camera.

Best price for the product and delivered as promised

This was the best deal for the WX1 the moment I ordered it and it came as expected in original box with SONY warranty. No problems encountered so far.
