Sony recently released the new W-series camera.  The Cyber-shot DSC-W300 13.6 mega pixel point and shoot camera looks very similar to the other W-series.

 

Coming in the package, we have a Battery, a Charger, a USB cable, a hand strap, CD and manual.

 

 

The Sony DSC-W300 is equipped with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optics systems with 3 x zoom capability.  The effective resolution is at 13.6 mega pixel, so you can take really really big image with it.  Actually, do we need 13.6 mega pixel?

 

 

It also has image stabilizer and smile shutter technology included in the camera.  At the back, the camera layout is typical Sony.  At the upper right, there is a dial type function selector.

 

 

Four directional function selector at the lower right hand side.

Battery and Memory Stick Duo compartment.

 

 

Camera interface when taking picture on the 2.7 inches LCD.  W300 also comes in with eye-level view finder.

 

 

Face detection at work, even on magazine faces.  The face tracing is quite fast indeed.

 

 

We are trying the smile shutter on the DCS-W300, it works on real person and on this magazine model as well.

 

 

The image shot by the DSC-W300.  The colour is a little bit too bright and too red.  Things tend to look more colourful then it should be.
