Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220 is an ‘entry level’ digital camera featuring a 12.1 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom and 2.7-inch screen. Being a budget priced compact it lacks some of the features of the higher end models like the W270/290.

Its lens is slightly wide angle with equivalent focal length starting form 30mm, which allows you to shoot wide landscapes and indoors and large groups of people. Optical image stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization will help it achieve sharp images regardless of the camera shake.

The W220 features point-and-shoot operation, with an Easy mode for total novices. It also offers a choice of seven scene modes plus an Intelligent Scene Recognition mode which automatically set the appropriate scene, and a Dynamic Range Optimizer function.

Shooting portrait is very easy as the camera features Face Detection function capable of differentiating between children and adults. In a playback mode you also can enhance your images with lots of in-camera retouching capabilities, such as soft focus, fish eye effect, cross filter, partial color, retro, radiation, red-eye correction, trimming, unsharp masking and smile effects.

The camera is very pocketable and will comfortably fit into jeans or a shirt pocket. It is available in a range of colors including silver, pink, blue and black.
