Popular Science Magazine has reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 and writes, “Although the best at face tracking, the W80’s image quality across all shooting scenarios fell short of the Fujifilm’s. The Sony located faces almost instantly and held onto them, even as people walked toward the camera. Along with improving focus, the camera’s face detection often yielded better exposure and color balance. But the feature is available in just two modes: fully automatic and portrait. Plus, photos at higher light-sensitivity settings (above ISO 200) showed considerable graininess and less detail.”
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 Features Include:
- 7.2 megapixel
- 2.5″ LCD
- ISO 3200
- 3x optical zoom

DC Resource reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 and writes, “In a market already oversaturated with ultra-compact cameras, coming out on top requires a pretty solid product. While the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 has quite a few things going for it (such as image stabilization and robust performance), the negatives outweigh the positives, so it’s hard for me to recommend this camera. It’s not a bad camera, it’s just that there are better options out there for your hard-earned money.”
