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

I have had two of these, unfortunately both suffered from a hiss and hum clearly audible during filming playback. The video was decent but not great, and one of the cameras was very slow to focus while filming which was very annoying. I didn't find the video that much better than the standard definition video from my G9. I can't really add to what everyone has already said about pictures, they are adequate but colors are not as vibrant or true to life as my G9 and the high speed shutter shots are very grainy and low quality so I personally wouldn't feel that great using it during action shots, but I guess something is better than nothing, even if it is grainy. It is very portable and feels nice in the hand. My wife felt it was too light and a little slippery but this is compared to my G9 and her T5 which has good ergo's. If the vid audio wasn't so noisy I would keep it because, and most importantly, for it's size it is a good camera with nice features.

Okay, I really loved this camera and the picture quality. The other reviews cover that pretty well so I'll keep it brief.

After only 1 month the shutter stopped closing completely, and the repair process is no fun at all.

It's been LESS THAN 2 MONTHS since I bought this camera and there is already dust trapped INSIDE the lens, so many of my pictures have visible spots all over them.

Sony's customer service is far from good compared to other companies I've worked with. You have to package the camera yourself and ship it to Texas for several weeks with no replacement in the interim. I NEED my camera all the time so what am I supposed to do?

I have had 4 Sony Cybershots over a period of 7 years and I think I've had it. The previous Sony Cybershot I had also had dust trapped inside the lens also, and it gradually kept accumulating over the past year until I had to abandon it and get this one. At least the first two Cybershots I had did not have this issue.

Horrible picture quality. We shut like 200 photos with this new camera - most of them are of poor quality. Tried all suggestions by previous authors - didn't help much. Macro mode is indescribably bad. Our 5 year old camera shoots pictures that are much better and sharp. Please save your money and time - look elsewhere.

I had a very hard time to find a right mode to take pictures with a very bright white light at night.However, overall this camera is good. Vedio quality is great as well.

Let just start by writing that, I've been a fan and using sony product for about 25-30 years and i spend tens of thousands of dollars on sony products. But i tought this camera would be different compare to others.
I dont understand other reviewers that they claim about the positive experience they'e had with this camera??!! I tried most of this camera's features, the result was disappointing. When you take photo at 5MP , 7MP, 8MP and 10 MP, you can clearly see the 5MP shot is much clearer than the rest (if you dont believe me, try it yourself side by side). So what is the point of buying 10MP camera when 5 mega pixel shots are better? I tried many of new 10 and 12 MP cameras, to my surprised, All of them took better picture at 5MP than 8 or 10MP. I must say, the reason i were attracted to this camera were, 1) sony quality 2)G-Lens and 3) The sensor and processor. and after using sony products for about 27 years , I was very disappointed at this camera (DSC-WX1). All photos that i took using this camera were very dull and lifeless. I loved all of the features of this camera but the first thing that i care about is quality of photos which this camera has lack of it. Recording HD movie were also disappointing, when you are recording you can actually hear sound of zooming and focusing when you play them back. Quality of video was not good enough to pay the extra money. I do NOT recommend this camera not even at $100
