My new small camera

[Chunk]

Just bought myself a new compact camera. Its nothing special, but it will do what i want it for.

I had the lesser model with a Sony lense, but thought an upgrade was due. Bargain at half price i think



Now slate it

Hi Mate,

You should have paid the extra £20 and got the 350 as it has a LOT more features and is a far better camera, we have the 350 and it is awesome.

350 at Amazon, £149 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DSCW350...2547145&sr=8-1

Review:-

Dig just a little into the features of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330 and you'll start to see all the corners cut to get the price down to less than $170. In comparison to Sony's $199.99 W350, the W330 has no optical image stabilization; the movie mode is VGA quality with no use of the optical zoom; there's no Sweep Panorama mode (or any panorama option actually); adult and child priority are removed from face detection options; there's no autofocus illuminator light; there's no manual white balance; no unsharp masking option in Playback; less internal memory; and lower-quality noise reduction. The lack of Sony's Bionz processing engine is partly responsible for the feature deficiencies.

See if you can cancel the order, as they are lying about the £259 original price tag, it was only £169 when it was first released, I only know this because we have just bought the 350 and I did a lot of research before i bought that one.
I am not knocking your choice i just hate it when websites put an over inflated price on a product to make it look like you are getting a bargain.

I'm sure it will do the job lovely. They make great compacts

WRX_Paul, i was joking when i said slate it

Thanks for the info. It has been dispatched already. Will use it at the meet on sunday.

The 350 does sound very good value for money & a better one

If it isn't as good as i hope, i will send it back (got 28 days to send it back)



In all fairness, it's only got to last me a year, hope to buy something for around £400-£500 next summer.

I have an old school 35mm, but it's getting harder to find places to buy & develop the films

No worries mate, just trying to help

[Chunk]

Here is my other one

Not used it for ages

Mate, keep hold of that.

In years to come that will be worth a sheckle or two

[Chunk]

It has a full case with loads of extras and lenses.

It was going to be thrown into a skip by a customer, i asked if i could have it. Not bad for a freebie.

Works 100% with cracking photos

I bet it does. That was proper cutting edge at one time, it's scary how quickly things move on.

Just phoned Comet

Phone 1 Internet 0

Managed to cancel my order

Ordered the 350 from Amazon. Should be with me by 1pm tomorrow

Thanks for the help Paul

Will be giving it an airing at Jap Bash later in the year

[WRX_Paul]

Nice one mate!!

[Chunk]

Had a bit of a result

The 350 from Amazon turned up friday morning, by the time i had opened the box, the one from comet arrived!!!

The woman i spoke to on the phone from comet cancelled the order and refunded the money.

Going to give it a week, if i hear nothing from them, looks like i will have both cameras
