USP of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830
A simple point and shoot should be small in size and easy to carry. It should be lightweight and light on the pocket. Though no one minds carrying extra batteries, but a pocket digital camera should last a whole day on a single charge. And of course, it should take great photographs.
Literally speaking Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 fits all of the above and hence looks like we have got a winner on hands.

What are customers saying
Most customers are happy with the image quality and the features offered by the camera. As most of the customers are going to use it in auto mode, this part works fairly good. Video quality at night is not that great. Users have also found the price to be sweet and the goodies offered by the seller, SD Card, pouch, batteries and so on. But do check with the seller as to what they are offering as the offers keep changing.
