I cracked the display window, and like this camera so much I am spending $86 to have it fixed. Over two years of hard use with no other problems. I prefer it over my Canon eos rebel, which takes great pictures also, but is big and bulky. I've owned several other digital cameras, including the original Sony Mavica, which recorded to a floppy disk, and this little point&shoot is still my all around favorite.

Great Features - Poor Battery Life
Pros: Motion stability, big screen, good ergonomics & great pictures
Cons: Battery life too short, no docking station / built in AC charge

This is my third Sony camera, I love Sony but I am a bit disappointed with this purchase. I love the size, look & features of the W300 - particularly the ability to touch up pictures. However, I am disappointed with the poor battery life. I travel and take alot of pictures and on more than one occassion the battery has gone completely dead and the camera lens did not retract. The battery has not yet lasted a full day. I never experienced this problem with my DSC-P150 which goes for 2 to 3 days. This is a huge hinderance in the performance of a near perfect camera that produces great pictures. I hope Sony does something to improve this, as the W300 is not an inexpensive camera and this con seems to be the general concensus among W300 owners.
13.6 MP Super HAD™ CCD
More megapixels give you greater image definition so you can make big prints and tight crops without losing detail. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Anti-scratch Premium Titanium body
The titanium coating on the body is approximately five times harder than anodized aluminium-treated camera bodies, offers excellent protection from scratches while offering a premium look.
Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution
The combination of Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization and high ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur, and allow flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.
Intelligent Scene Recognition Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition mode automatically detects 5 different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera setting: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, and Twilight using aTripod. Intelligent Scene Recognition has two different modes, advanced and auto. Advanced mode takes two shots, one with the standard automatic settings and the other with optimized settings. Auto mode takes a single shot, using the camera's intelligence to decide proper settings.
Convenient Photo Modes
To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, you can choose from several convenient photo modes, including Auto, Program Auto, Manual Exposure, and Scene Selections such as Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Fireworks, Smile Shutter, Underwater, Landscape, Soft Snap, Snow, High Sensitivity, Extra High Sensitivity (only 3 megapixel image), Extra High Speed Burst (only 3 megapixel image) and Beach environments.
9-Point Auto Focus
Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures auto-focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.
Color Mode “Real”
Color Mode “Real” helps enable faithful color reproduction by minimizing in-camera image processing -- perfect for users who want to retouch their images after shooting.
Function Guide
This beginner-friendly function helps manage various functions and settings by displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen. The Function Guide can also be switched off.
Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience
A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your PC and are compatible with millions of devices worldwide.
HDTV Compatibility2
PhotoTV HD compatibility2 allows the camera to be connected to a PhotoTV HDcapable Sony BRAVIA™ HDTV via the optional HD output adaptor, for highly detailed, high-definition color images displayed in unprecedented realism and full HD quality. (All sold separately)
Wide Zoom Display
To use the entire image area of the compatible HDTV3 screens, Wide Zoom automatically expands standard 4:3 and 3:2 images to 16:9.
In-Camera Red-Eye Correction
Irritating “glowing eyes” can ruin even the most creative photos, but in-camera red eye reduction corrects your photos at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss.
BIONZ™
BIONZ™ image processor delivers speed and precision
2.7”1 Clear Photo LCD Display
A large, bright 2.7”1 Clear Photo LCD™ display includes an anti-reflective coating that provides for excellent visibility to help you compose, view, and share photos with superb clarity and color reproduction, even in bright sunlight.
Smile Shutter
Smile Shutter™ technology captures smiles the moment they happen5 - without the need to press the shutter. The mode can be set to capture when your subject laughs, smiles or even grins, and like Face Detection is able to differentiate children and adults to set priority.
EXTRA High Sensitivity (ISO 3200) Mode
EXTRA High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 64006) helps reduce blur when shooting indoors or at twilight, even without flash, so you can capture great-looking images even in less-than-ideal lighting.
Variable Noise Reduction
Variable Noise Reduction allows greater control over image characteristics with High, Low and Standard settings that let you select the optimal setting depending on the scene and your personal tastes.
Automatic Macro Shooting
Standard Auto Focus now covers the macro focus range, eliminating the need to manually change focus modes for close-up photography. The Macro mode has not been eliminated, and enabling it accelerates Auto Focus when shooting at point-blank range.
EXTRA High-Speed Burst Mode
EXTRA High-Speed Burst Mode6 allows high-speed shooting of up to 5 fps, an especially useful feature useful for capturing fast action photographs of sports scenes, kids’ activities, and animals.
Easy Shooting Mode
A simplified camera environment especially attractive to beginners or digital camera users who want to keep things simple, Easy Shooting provides easy-to-read, on-screen instructions and limits the number of camera settings to help prevent misuse of the camera while still providing excellent results.
15 MB7 Internal Memory
Even if you forget your flash memory card, you can get the shot because 15MB7 internal memory lets you capture a limited number of shots with in-camera convenience, then easily transfer your shots to a PC or optional Memory Stick Duo™ media, or Memory Stick PRO Duo ™.
Easy Image Management
To help you find the right image among many, Date View and Favorites have been added to the standard Folder View. Date View displays a calendar view, while Favorites shows only user-selected images. Furthermore, you can filter photos by face types such as portrait, child, baby, and smile.
16:9 High-Resolution Mode
In addition to the standard 2-megapixel size, the convenient 16:9 aspect ratio shooting mode for HDTV2 display can now be shot in 10-megapixels, making it possible to obtain beautiful, high-definition prints with the same aspect ratio as HDTV2.
In-Camera Retouching
Add creative effects to photos after you shoot using any of 10 retouching functions, including: Trimming, Red-Eye correction, Soft Focus filter, Unsharp Mask, Cross filter, Partial Color filter, Fish-eye filter, Retro, Radial Blur and Happy Face. The Happy Face effect uses photo retouching to put a smile on faces, with smile levels adjustable from 1 to 5.
Picture Motion Browser Software
Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize, and search photos on your PC. When shooting photos using your camera and an optional GPS unit, the software even provides a convenient map view function that lets you sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map.
Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical Zoom Lens
Professional Carl Zeiss® lens with 3x optical zoom (35mm-105mm4) brings distant subjects closer for great outdoor, sports, and travel photos.
Face Detection
Face Detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces and automatically controls focus, exposure, white balance, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot.
Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization
Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with a built-in gyro sensor that detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens -- so there’s no need to crop in on your shot to reduce blur.
Dynamic Range Optimization Standard & Plus
Powered by the exclusive Sony BIONZ™ high-speed processing engine, Dynamic Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at a high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second7). The maximum length of time you can shoot continuously is about 10 minutes.
Smart Zoom® Feature8
The Sony Smart Zoom® feature8 intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, helping avoid the image degradation of other digital zooms.
Simple Setup Controls
A quick press of the Home button opens your user-friendly graphical interface -- and you can select functions by simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to learn camera setup operations.
Optical Viewfinder
In addition to the LCD display, a built-in optical viewfinder lets you compose your photos in traditional rangefinder camera style, and also helps save battery power by turning off your LCD display.
Stamina® Battery Power
Provides extended battery life10and shooting capacity when using a fully charged Lithium Ion battery-- enough to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation10.
“PhotoTV HD”9
PhotoTV HD compatibility9 allows the camera to be connected to a PhotoTV HD-capable Sony BRAVIA® HDTV via the optional HD output adaptor, for highly detailed, high-definition color images displayed in unprecedented realism and full HD quality. (All sold separately.)
PHOTOMUSIC
Expanding the HD Slide Show with Music feature3, PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music to produce fun and entertaining slide shows. The five standard visual effects (Simple, Basic, Nostalgic, Active and Stylish) have been supplemented with Face1: Basic, Face2: Nostalgic and Face3: Stylish for a total of eight effects. Additionally, the number of music tracks stored in the camera memory has been doubled from four to eight, and music playback time has been extended from three to five minutes per track. More personalized slide shows are also possible by transferring music from a PC to the camera.
Multi-Resizing Function

Sony DSC-W300
Pros: Style, features, ease of use
Cons: Photography mode selector dial turns too easily
This is a remarkable camera for the money. It has lots of capabilities, including rapid-fire photos, video w/sound. I truly LOVE this camera. It is one of the best, easiest-to-use cameras I have ever owned and I would highly recommend it to anyone. My only concern is that the photography mode selector dial gets turned too easily when handling the camera (i.e., putting it in a pocket or carrying case, or removing it from same). Just be sure to check the setting before you start shooting.

Evaluation
Pros: Great pictures and good features
Cons: Battery Life and Price
For usability this product worked great, no problems with blurry pictures. The only thing we would prefer is longer battery life. The provided features allowed for different settings and contrasts for the pictures. Overall, we would recommend this camera for the average photo taker to have fun and still maintain quality photos.

Is this the best camera on the market?
Pros: make a real docking station like the ancestor s the DSC-P100
Cons: If anything the battery seems to die very fast and take's forever to recharge forcing you to buy another battery
Can you compare this camera to anything on todays market, I mean really 13.6 mega pixels?wow!thats extrodinary...Everyone before me thats written a review basically said what needs to be heard but how can you beat the rediculous quality of the video camera?I mean this is a still shot camera which shoots video better than most camcorders that are out there today...,Is anyone actually aware of that.....I've done movies on this camera that are actually enjoyable....I just didnt realize that I was going to be getting a two for one deal when I purchased this DSC-W300..I've been a long time user of the ancestor of the DSC-W300 which is the DSC-P100 5.1 megapixels back then and what a tremendous difference except for the docking station which really is depressing on the DSC-W300 its a JOKE compared to the station of the DSC-P100.....the guy in review #1 says it all about the problem with this docking station which in a nut shell is incomplete.This camera is a must have I am so proud to own it.

Needs docking station with charger
I just got this camera and was very disappointed that the USB cable does not charge the battery. In fact, there is no port on the camera for charging the battery. You have to take the battery out of the camera and put it in a separate charger. I have been accustomed to camera's with a charger port on the camera or a docking station that is connected via a USB cable that allows you to both charge the battery and upload your pictures to your PC. I don't see any docking station as an accessory.
