Sony DSC-WX80/B 16.2 MP Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black) (OLD MODEL)

It's a small camera that can easily fit in your pocket or in your purse. It's even smaller than my phone!! My phone isn't huge by any means, but the camera is a bit smaller than that. The camera itself has MANY 'Scene Modes' to choose from. From Anti-Blur to Night-Scene to High-Sensitivity... It has practically every basic mode there is to use with a small point-and-shoot camera. I personally love the Anti-Blur Mode on the camera, since my hand is normally VERY jerky, resulting in blurry photos. And the Anti-Blur is just what I needed. My boyfriend has VERY sensitive eyes. Whenever I use the Flash on the camera, he's always squinting or has his eyes closed. So the Anti-Blur Mode will help take No-Flash photos with Anti-Blur, of my boyfriend and myself, so the photos will come out beautiful every time! But it also does great capturing sunsets, nature, items you're trying to sell online... It's a great camera for everything. Sure, the camera isn't going to replace your DSLR cameras out there, since those are professional quality cameras, and this is just a small camera for basic stuff. But the photos still come out beautiful. I've always been a fan of Sony products. I've never had a problem with ANY of their products before. And this is no different. As for those of you that love to take videos of your children, pets, or whatever, this camera even has an Anti-Blur Mode for videos! Which is great for those videos where there's a lot of movement in!My old camera was a Canon PowerShot A2300 camera. It was a 16MP camera with a 5X Optical Zoom, but it didn't have a Mode for Anti-Blur, nor did it have any sort of Image Stabilization. So whenever I took photos without the Flash on, the photos would ALWAYS be blurry. Even though my Canon camera was a 16MP, and the Sony camera is a 16.2MP, the Sony camera takes MUCH better photos with and without the Flash. I'm sure that .2MP doesn't make much of a difference, but I think the Carl Zeiss lens on the Sony camera definitely helps boost the image quality. Which is WONDERFUL.It is a bit weird how you go about charging the camera battery, though. Most companies include a charger that has a slot to stick your battery in, then you plug it into a wall socket. Even older Sony cameras used this method. For this camera, you plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the USB cable from the charger to the camera. And it basically charges the battery INSIDE of the camera. Kind of reminds me of the mp3 and mp4 players that they make nowadays, where you have to plug them in to charge them.All in all, this camera is GREAT!!I'm not sure why so many people are rating this camera 1 star, due to the packaging and the delivery. I thought the review was supposed to be for the CAMERA?? And the packaging and delivery has NOTHING to do with the camera itself.

I researched digital point and shoot cameras a long time before deciding on the Sony DSC WX80/B. This is my third digital camera and I am very pleased. My $400 Olympus Stylus 1200 went dead after a couple years, needed $200 to repair. My Nikon Coolpix cost $90 but took blurry pictures. This little Sony is the size of a deck of cards and takes super clear and sharp photos with its Carl Zeiss lens. The battery life seems longer, too, than my other cameras. Easy to switch to video. The surprise was the simple ease of this cameras WiFi and the quick usefulness of having my photos immediately on my tablet, a Sony Tablet S. I own many Sony products and am very pleased with the quality of each. This camera was a bargain. I also bought the Wasabi 2 battery pack and charger, although this camera comes with a Sony battery for in-camera charging. Also bought separately a high quality memory chip, a PNY 16GB, 90 MB/second transfer rate for fast repeat photos. This camera has a burst photos feature which I haven't tried. There is a one to two second delay between photos when shooting stills normally or in telephoto. The zoom is impressive for such a small camera. I use this mostly for sports events and some wildlife. It freezes action very clearly. The wifi feature is now a necessity to me, very convenient. Many other features. Highly recommended.

Great little camera. Have had it for a couple of years. Excellent battery life.I have shot 150 pictures and 4-5 videos of 10 minutes length, and still had a little battery power left at the end of a long day. Great picture quality. Very quick to switch on. Can shoot panorama-- needs a little practice, for good shots, though! Good low light performance, within a certain reason-- it is a compact camera! I once shot moonlight on a waterfall at Iguazu, and thought it looked great in the LCD screen, but got nothing on the SD card!As usual,the manual does little justice to its capabilities; but you get and learn a lot by playing with the great onscreen menu.Video is HD and very good picture and sound quality. Autofocus while zooming is great.Several folk feel it is too small. I feel that is a great benefit. I have it in my purse, and while on the go, quickly pull it out,switch on, shoot with one hand and go... and yet the pictures are great!

I love the clarity as well as the unique features of this little compact digital camera. The soft skin feature instantly polishes every subjects skin to look as if it has been slightly air-brushed. So, essentially, it makes everyone in your picture even more beautiful than they already are. This camera also has "beauty effect features" which slim down, smooth skin, widen eyes, and more to create a perfect photo instantly. Truly, it is a mild form of photoshop on a budget with similar qualities. Wi-fi is also a great feature in case you don't want to upload low-quality or boring jpeg pictures to your social media sites, friends, or email. Background defocus gives your picture the same look that many expensive SLR cameras that have A-DEP feature (blurs background and focuses on your subject). Lastly, this camera has a new filter features and scene modes that will change your image in many new artistic and creative ways if you choose to do so. Great for an amateur that wants more than just an average picture with a professional looking touch. It is easy to use and there are many YOUTUBE tutorials available online to help you learn how to get the very most. It takes a standard SD card and the rechargeable battery is long lasting.
