Comments about Sony DSC-W300 Digital Camera - Black:

I bought this camera because I needed to replace my Fuji Finepix 1400 1.3 megapixel from the year 2000. So in the January issue this was rated #1. I personally think my old Fuji took better pics in low light. The Sony is faster but pics are just ok at best.

Comments about Sony DSC-W300 Digital Camera - Black:

I replaced a Sony DSC-W200 with this one after my wife dropped our old camera on the concrete. I've only had this model for a couple of weeks, but it's (a) very easy to use, and (b) takes INCREDIBLE pictures. I regularly take travel, art, architecture and nature photos which I blow up to 12" x 24" or larger for display, and they hold up just fine with this camera. I would strongly recommend it.
