Review: Easy to use and takes good videos - I'm impressed with this camera's ability to take decent videos in less-than-perfect lighting conditions! My old Kodak shot videos that sometimes turned out almost completely black on the computer, even when I could see just fine in real life while recording. This camera takes videos that look just as bright on the screen as the room does in real life. I was told I couldn't get such a camera for a low price, so that was a nice surprise. They're a little grainy when you transfer them, and quiet for some reason so I have to speak more loudly then usual in them, but still better quality than my old camera's videos were. I'm very pleased with that. The menu is easy to navigate and I was able to get the hang of it and figure everything out quickly without even referring to the manual - which, by the way, contains information about battery life and how long it takes to charge; another nice surprise. I also like having a panorama mode.
Review: GREAT CAMERA! - So far, I am in love with my camera. I do wish it would take night photos. Apart from this, it takes FANTASTIC shots, great, sharp, well defined on all levels. I am impressed w/how easy it is to use. I got this b/c it has a 'steady' feature which is good for me as my hands shake sometimes. This camera keeps your pics from being blurry due to that issue. I DO however, (despite loving the item) wish it were just a TAD larger b/c it's so small (which is a + for some) that my aching hands/fingers sometimes have difficulty holding it or using it as it is so slim. Otherwise, I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am looking for something for my 80 + Mother so it needs to be simple, would this camera work for her?**
A: Frankly, I would not recommend it. I bought it to replace an earlier Sony digital camera I had, which was truly a "point and shoot"- always gave great pictures. This one has an impressive list of features (I never use 99% of them) but I'm still having trouble simply "taking pictures". It's possible that it might work fine with the right settings, but I haven't had success. Example of the complexity- I printed out (from the online manual) the definitions of all the icons that can appear on the camera's screen- it's about four pages worth (!) of tiny nondescript icons which no "normal" person could memorize. Yeah, I'm old (75) and old-school, but I suspect your mom might not get satisfaction from this camera.

**Q: Does the camera come with a memory card?**
A: No.  According to the help guide, "Using internal memory: The camera has approximately 27 MB of internal memory."

You can purchase other media cards to store data on as well.

**Q: How long of a lag time is there between shots? Does this camera have something like a burst mode; taking a rapid series of shots?**
A: It does have a "burst mode"; however, it is not as you would expect it to be.  It is a bit slower than the traditional DSLR/SLR.  Thus far, as per my usage, it has been satisfactory.  Suffice it to say that if you are looking to capture a hummingbird in perfect detail and in multiple shots, this camera will fall just a bit short.

**Q: I purchased a Fuji Finepix S4300 that gives me dark and yellowed photos when taken indoors.  How does the Sony DSCW830/B rate for taking photos inside of an office?**
A: The pictures are great!  They come out nice, whether taken outdoors or indoors.  I love that the camera can take panoramic pictures. My son and daughter have similar Sony cameras that they have had for awhile so I bought one because they recommended it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good buy for the money!
*by G***T on July 26, 2015*

Bought this to mainly do closeups of items to sell. Very happy with quality but can only focus down to about 1 1\2 inches. Great camera and very compact. Only complaint is that it takes about 1 second for shutter to close and reopen. Panaromic feature is great. Extremely clear images. Internal memory very limited. I use Linux instead of windows and it works fine only cannot import panaromic images. Easy to just pull out SD card and use reader. Does not come with SD card so make sure you order one. Menu very easy to use. Overall, I would say a great buy for the money.
