The Sony DSC-W50 was a pleasure to use. The nice compact camera fits nicely inside my shirt or pants pocket enabling me to sneak it into a rock concert where I took full advantage of the movie mode recording complete songs. In the dim light the exposure came out great. The ISO 1000 mode is pretty grainy, but it’s better than capturing a blurry shot.
