I bought a Sony Cybershot W80 digi cam today from Sony world for 15k on EMI, Total cost 15.5K.

I needed this for as point & shoot camera which even my mom can use, the good thing I liked in this is that once I have manually set the exposure, autofocus etc.....it's just point & shoot.
The digi cam's memory card which is a Memory Stick Pro duo similar to the one I use in my Sony Ericsson K750i.
Now, I use ACDSee 10 & Photoshop CS3 for all my digital image management & editing, but due to this digicam I switced to Adobe Lightroom which is a tad better cos even my family members & sisters can use Lightroom. Photoshop is over kill for them. Lightroom automatically copies the photos from memory card, makes a folder with today's date & copies them to the computer & deletes from the memory card. Colour correcting images, resizing them etc is also very easy in Lightroom.
Bundled with the camera were the usual stuff

The good thing I liked about this camera was that it can capture videos at 640X480 pixel at 30 FPS. That's near DVD quality videos, but it captures in MPEG Codec format due to which file size are huge. Capturing in MP4 would have been better.
The face detection system works flawless, & just like any K series phone from Sony having autofocus, in this camera to activate autofocus press the click button halfway to hear a familiar tone, which means it has focused automatically. For my usage, ISO 200 works flawlessly.
The menu system is good & the changes u make show up immediately on the LCD. I still have to buy a pouch for the camera.
Another good thing is that If i capture a movie, I can output it directly to a TV with the bundled Cable.
Here are some of the unedited pics taken from the cam. I decided to take the pics at 3 MP cos anything more then that is not required.

Now, I m not a review writer & I still have to play with the cam, so you can read a better review here.
More to come....
