 Excellent best seller April 18, 2008

I use this camera for work. Pro, excellent output quality, shooting modes previewed on lcd as you select with text description, saves squinting at the dial, excellent build quality, good software/menu easy to use, battery life outstanding. I shoot about 150 shots per week and I am now in week three after first charge. It has been easy to use and the lcd screen has a good resolution. Against and hence four stars only Sony, why not use the 'standard ' sd memoey card instead of Sony only memory card, and why non standard usb connection on the camera. Hope I dont loose the connecting cable because I bet the replacement from Sony will cost. Small gripes though for a well designed, good looking, good value digital camera which I shall take on holiday as it will fit easily in my pocket. by the way buy a case as its too nice to scratch.
 Very pleased! April 2, 2008

Having trawled the internet for days looking for a new camera, I decided to buy the sony dsc w55 having read good reviews on it. Amazon came out top on price so I decided to plunge and go for it along with a case and memory stick. So far so good, it is really easy to use (which is good for me as I am not very technical!) The dial is a really nifty idea, you can change mode in a matter of a second.
Good camera March 15, 2008

Its a very easy to use camera. Nightshots are not brilliant .My main grouse is that it is very easy to move the mode setting dial. It could be firmer so that you don't move it inadvertently to movie or ISO etc.
Good size screen.
Simple.. but excellent March 4, 2008

My mother is a complete technophobe and had used the same polaroid camera for 14 years, which recently broke. I'm a bit of a gadget man myself, so did a few searches and found this little gem on Amazon. I ordered it for her on mother's day (turned up promptly, nicely wrapped by Amazon). I insisted she read the instruction manual and then take some photos of me and my brothers. Within half an hour she was adjusting light/flash/zoom settings and got some awesome snaps. They look simply excellent on my HD laptop screen, much nicer than other horrible compact camera shots you see knocking about. In short, she loves it. For the price, I really don't think you can fault it...
However, it doesn't come with a case and the memory is fairly poor, so you're looking at an extra 20(ish) to get the full benefit from it. I haven't removed a star because of this as this now seems to be the case across the entire electronics industry (same with GPS and iPods etc etc) and therefore not a criticism of this specific product.
To summarise, if you want a highly compact, sub 150, good quality digital camera - look no further. Apologies for the essay by the way!
 Having huge problems with this camera February 25, 2008

I bought this camera in Jan 2008 and at first, I thought it was great. Then, one or two of my pictures appeared to be corrupted (half the picture covered with coloured bars). I assumed I had done something wrong. I have just returned from India and about a quarter of my pictures, although there on the camera viewing screen, would not load onto my computer. For others, the picture (which was once there) has disappeared only to be replaced with a notice saying "file error". I have downloaded those photos I could onto my (Sony) computer, but I now find I am unable to view ANY of my photos on the camera's screen as all I get is "file error" or "format error (c-13.01 accompanied by a flashing memory card icon) which will not allow me to move on to the next picture. I am using a Sony 1GB memory stick produo. I do not know whether it is the camera that is at fault, or the memory stick. Either way, I am disappointed, having always considered Sony to be a reliable make.
