Great quality camera for a compact size
DSC-W830 21 January 2017 by Andy 12345 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
This camera takes brilliant pictures considering its small size. It is easy to use and the battery lasts along time.

UNFORTUNATELY, DISSAPOINTED
DSCW830 29 September 2014 (USA)
I was very excited when I first got this camera. I set it up right away, took some pics around the house and out at the park to test it out. Seemed to work fine. Couldn't wait to use it on our summer vacation, which was actually why we'd bought it for in the first place. But, when the moment of truth came it was definately not what I expected. Doesn't capture movement any better. Although, it does capture nice pics when you're out in broad daylight. Nonetheless, at someplaces, like at the aquarium the pics came out dark (eventhough the flash was on) and also, very out of focus. I felt it let me down, I was unable to take good-looking pics of the shark tank...that was a real bummer. Another thing about the camera is that when I'm looking at the pics I've taken this message appears on a blue screen "cannot display file" for some pics. Eventhough when I hook it up to the computer all the pics are in fact in the card. I also have to say that I used to have another model of a sony camera and it had a lot of the same issues. I went ahead with Sony once again because I liked to believe it's a brand I could trust. It's all very dissappointing

Nice camera
DSC-W830 23 August 2024 by Lulubell (United Kingdom)
Pleased with the camera although I'm a little confused that the box shows W830 and the camera itself shows W810!

Compact camera with good zoom
DSC-W830 09 August 2022 by Jackie59 (United Kingdom)
Bought this to replace a much older model of the Sony Cybershot which was great. Nice and compact (fits easily into small handbag for nights out) easy to use with great zoom. Prospective buyers should be aware that it is not possible to take lots of photos quickly, as on a mobile, as it takes a few seconds for the camera to ready itself again. Disappointed it didn't come with a memory card supplied (the previous model did), but luckily the memory card, battery and cable from the previous model were also usable on this one!

Compact and light
DSC-W830 29 April 2022 by Mrs Mac (United Kingdom)
Relatively easy to use. Lightweight and compact. Zoom very good. Only criticism is the "on" button which is very small and doesn't always work at the first attempt. Would perhaps be better if it was bigger and slightly raised.

DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.
DSC-W830 28 March 2022 by CEARCE (United Kingdom)
Its compact and light and easy to use. Yes maybe the on/off button is a bit small but then the whole camera is compact. I wanted something to go in my pocket for those odd mlments when something happens, a dog moment, a scene or a special view. I wanted a camera that held its charge, that worked when I took it out of my pocket after a few days, had a zoom and one that I could rely on, this answers that. Delighted with the results.

Great little camera
DSC-W830 02 February 2022 by Rubberlips (United Kingdom)
Fits easily into your pocket and very easy to use. I take it with me when out walking. Wish you could get a more powerful zoom lens on a camera this size, but the one it has is good enough for most photos.

Very compact camera,. Yet powerful
DSCW830 15 January 2022 by Sathiy (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I bought this a month ago, for carrying along for better quality of photo than handphones. It is very good indeed and happy about the purchase. There is one minus point is there is a delay of a moment between next shot , with display on.

DSC-W830 16 December 2021 by IsThisOneUsed (United Kingdom)
Bought to replace a damaged Fuji F10. I like the improved resolution, but the on/off button is ridiculously fiddly and everything is very slow - displaying images, zoom control, taking the picture and storing it (although this last could be down to the increased resolution). Action shots are going to be much trickier with this compared to the Fuji.

Nice and compact
DSC-W830 14 October 2021 by Mazzman (United Kingdom)
Bought this for a proposed holiday, which didn't happen. Some nice features, easy to use. A little disappointed on the auto focus though, and resolution doesn't seem to be that much better than my old Samsung Galaxy 2017 J3! Expected better with a camera that had a Zeiss lens! Also, On/Off and picture take buttons are difficult to depress.

Hi Mazzman,
Thank you for leaving your review and we're sorry to hear that our product hasn't satisfied your expectations, this is not the norm as we strive to deliver the best quality possible.

in the auto focus mode as described in the following link: https://bit.ly/3BUNjx9 (Copy and paste the link in your browser). Also, when shooting, make sure to position the lens farther away from the subject than the shortest shooting distance (approximately 5 cm (0.16 ft.) (W)/150 cm (4.92 ft.) (T) from the lens).
Regarding the On/Off button issue, we recommend initializing the camera settings as an attempt of rectifying the issue by following the steps mentioned here: https://bit.ly/3n7xDjU.

I bought this for my wife who prefers a simple camera. The functions built in are so good that I slip it in my pocket and use where I would not normally take my bulky DSLR. The quality is very good and it IS simple. An excellent choice and very good quality
