Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570
$179.99
Released February, 2011
The Pros:Looks shiny and slick, design is high quality. Images are very large, can crop and zoom afterward easily. Display is large and detailed, easy to work with.
The Cons:Video tends to get out of focus and shaky when zoomed. Lacks the latest sensor technology, uses a CCD based design rather than Sony's 'Exmor R' backside illuminated CMOS, poorer in low light. BIONZ processor doesn't do much for speeding up the camera, committing images to the memory card storage makes the camera feel sluggish.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 is a low-cost digital camera. This camera's 720p HD Movie Mode captures video in 1280 x 720 at 30fps. The Cyber-shot DSC-W570's Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.

This camera's SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality. The Cyber-shot DSC-W570's Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for lifelike images. The lens of this camera is 25mm equivalent wide-angle, which allows for group shots in tight spots. The iAuto mode of the Cyber-shot DSC-W570 recognizes scenes, lighting conditions and faces, and adjusts settings accordingly. This camera differs from the lower cost Cyber-shot DSC-W560 model in that it has a 16.1 megapixel sensor (instead of 14.1 megapixels) and a 5x optical zoom (instead of 4x), though its LCD display is only 2.7 inches (the Cyber-shot DSC-W560's is three inches). There are color options available for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 digital camera.
