One more of Teeter-Woo on his rubber seesaw. September 24th, 2010 Sony Cybershot DSC-W370 |
The Sony Cybershot is the only USB device I have that runs on a proprietary cable - something manufacturers NEVER mention on the outside of the box (annoying). The Sony Cybershot also uses a SONY Memory stick (came with a 2GB PRO DUO which is supposed to have the highest performance) - which is also proprietary so unlike my older cameras, I can't just pop the memory card into my laptop's SD reader.
When I was taking multiple shots in succession, I often found myself waiting for the camera to finish writing before I could take another shot. I think 4-5 seconds is too long to process an image when I'm trying to capture something specific. Sure, that tulip will wait to for my camera to process - but I'm not going to be able to talk that fawn into laying back down in the field of dandelions.
The Sony Cybershot DSC-W370 came with a camera case - which looked good - but isn't really setup to be practical. The lithium battery is charged with an external charger that doesn't fit into the camera case (unless you put it in with the camera and I was reluctant to have it bouncing around in the too big camera compartment with the camera/LCD). The other two compartments of the camera bag were too small for the USB or AV cables. So if like me you're planning to travel you'll need to stow all of the accessories elsewhere or upgrade your camera bag.
I do like the panoramic feature and played with it a bit it's on my list to work with tomorrow. I also plan to read the manual tonight - perhaps there's a setting or feature that I'm overlooking to improve some of these initial short-comings...as we say in the IT world - RTFM - and because this is a family-friendly blog I'll leave it at the manual!!! So my homework is to put some more time into experimenting with the camera.
I don't see a HUGE quality improvement over my old 6.1MP Kodak Z760. And if I'm not going to upgrade image quality (6.1 MP to14 MP) and at the same time lose camera features I think I'll just put some money in a jar every month for one of those fancy SLRs.
