Review: Good Camera for General Usage - This is a great little camera. I have used it on many occasions and for general picture taking it gives high quality and high pixel photos. It is in now standard form where the rear screen is used to select the picture. The camera has a flash and the focusing has a reasonable range. However there are some things worth noting: 1. I cannot get good macro close ups of flowers. The combination of a poor macro and the rear image have yielded several out of focus pictures. 2. There is a significant time lag between taking pictures, 5 to 7 seconds before you can snap another. I do not know why this is the case so if you are trying to snap some fast motion pics this may not be for you. Overall it fits neatly in a pocket and unless you rely solely upon you smart phone this is a well priced option for quality pictures in general.
Review: Open Letter to Sony About The DSC - W830 - This is an open letter/review to the Sony Corporation : First let me say I don't write product reviews, and I buy a LOT of products from desertcart. I am a building / home inspector and as such (recently did the math) I take upwards of 500 - 600 photos a week for my inspection reports that people rely on to purchase perhaps the biggest purchase of their lives - their home. I bought this camera in February of 2015 (14 months ago) and after ~33,000 photos, my beloved DSC-W380 has finally met its match by way of a lens booger. NOW, let me get to the point. Being the centerpiece of my livelihood and the tool that has captured more construction sites, floor decking, landscaping, electrical components, low lighting conditions of every kind, frost, rain, (and yes even falling off a building... action shot ; )) I was troubled when its tiny little heart gave up on me (natural death). Since then I have tried virtually every Point and Shoot on the market $200 and under, $200 and over, Sony, Nikon, Canon, done side by sides, swam in camera specs that would make any sane person's head spin, and have come to one resolute conclusion... If you are in the inspection business and need an amazing quality image on the quick, this is it. I'm not selling cameras here, so let me get back to my letter. SONY... PLEASE, PLEASE... DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS CAMERA. It is the perfect marriage of low light taking, no nonsense, perfect design for working professional (love the thumb zoom... can and will never zoom with my index finger... thumb on zoom, trigger finger on trigger... amen), perfect optics, aluminum non-plastic tough as nails shell, perfect amount of zoom... I could go on. This is a timeless camera for a no-nonsense user and should NEVER be discontinued. Thank you Sony for the genesis of this camera, and your attention to this open letter, I would guess I'm speaking for a large swath of real estate inspectors everywhere. Phenomenal camera, just repurchased after at least 30 hours of research, hands-on experimentation, etc (03/16)...I will not buy anything other than the DSC-W830 for my main work camera. Kind Regards

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am looking for something for my 80 + Mother so it needs to be simple, would this camera work for her?**
A: Frankly, I would not recommend it. I bought it to replace an earlier Sony digital camera I had, which was truly a "point and shoot"- always gave great pictures. This one has an impressive list of features (I never use 99% of them) but I'm still having trouble simply "taking pictures". It's possible that it might work fine with the right settings, but I haven't had success. Example of the complexity- I printed out (from the online manual) the definitions of all the icons that can appear on the camera's screen- it's about four pages worth (!) of tiny nondescript icons which no "normal" person could memorize. Yeah, I'm old (75) and old-school, but I suspect your mom might not get satisfaction from this camera.

**Q: Does the camera come with a memory card?**
A: No.  According to the help guide, "Using internal memory: The camera has approximately 27 MB of internal memory."

You can purchase other media cards to store data on as well.

**Q: How long of a lag time is there between shots? Does this camera have something like a burst mode; taking a rapid series of shots?**
A: It does have a "burst mode"; however, it is not as you would expect it to be.  It is a bit slower than the traditional DSLR/SLR.  Thus far, as per my usage, it has been satisfactory.  Suffice it to say that if you are looking to capture a hummingbird in perfect detail and in multiple shots, this camera will fall just a bit short.

**Q: I purchased a Fuji Finepix S4300 that gives me dark and yellowed photos when taken indoors.  How does the Sony DSCW830/B rate for taking photos inside of an office?**
A: The pictures are great!  They come out nice, whether taken outdoors or indoors.  I love that the camera can take panoramic pictures. My son and daughter have similar Sony cameras that they have had for awhile so I bought one because they recommended it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good little budget camera
*by H***4 on November 12, 2017*

I was needing a small camera for product photography. I have a dslr, but wanted something smaller and comparable to a smart phone when it comes to quality and portability. After much research, I settled on the Sony DSCW830. Partially because of the reviews & price, and partially because my current dslr is a older Sony model which has a similar menu. I've already taken a bunch of test shots with it, and so far I'm really digging it. Now, don't get me wrong, this wont replace your dslr camera. I wouldn't use this to take action shots. This would not be my "go to" camera on Christmas morning, as it takes entirely too long for it to snap the picture ... However, for my needs it's perfect. The macro setting is where this camera really shines, as it takes very crisp photos of small subjects. It also seems to perform well for taking shots where the subject can sit still and pose for you. The video quality is more than sufficient and seems just as good, if not better than most smart phones. The battery life is good for this size of camera, and it charges up pretty quickly. All in all, it's a good little budget friendly camera if you use it for the right things. Pros- Size Value Quality Easy menu system Good for shooting 'still' subjects Cons- Doesn't come with a case Not good for taking action shots
