This camera does not have the feature of superimposing dates on images. This camera is almost too small to handle. Very poorly engineered. Cables and charging systems not up to the usual Sony standers. It is a shame that Sony placed their name on this piece of junk. This camera falls very short of the previous Sony cameras.

This is the best camera i ever used, it able to take very good and clear image at night without using a flash. Well sometime photo taken with flash look like too bright or too dark or it just look not as good as those taken without a flash, but sometime flash is really needed when in places with dim light, however this camera really take the best photo even without the flash. The photo taken is very good like those taken with DSL camera, should try it. Sony really understand what I need, most of the mobile phone can take a good photo, but however phone cannot take a really good photo when in dark place that why i need a good camera that can take good photo at night.

High speed shooting

In addition, the DSC-WX1 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
High Sensitivity mode (ISO 3200)
High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions.

PHOTOMUSIC
PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music³ (4 tracks, 5 minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer (sold separately).
Lithium-ion battery
Included lithium-ion battery provides added convenience with longer lasting power than alkaline batteries.
Premium 24mm f/2.4 G Lens
Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, the Sony G Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sony’s cameras. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-sumer HD Camcorders.
Ultra bright f/2.4 G Lens
This f/2.4 aperture lens gathers twice as much light as typical compact camera lenses, allowing you to shoot indoors or in low light without flash and with less noise.
BIONZ™ image processor
The BIONZ™ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony® digital camera. Fast processing enables Sweep Panorama to create the image in camera in seconds, clear images in low light settings, and layering one image over another to create a photo that looks just like what you see with your eyes.
Sweep Panorama mode
Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultra-wide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 256 degrees, which goes well beyond the limits of peripheral vision, even capturing areas somewhat behind you. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape, and Macro. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.
Face Detection technology
Sony’s improved Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and Plus
Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help recover shadows and highlights. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and optimizing each area individually.
In-camera retouching tools
Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera Trimming, Red-Eye Correction, and Unsharp Masking functions.

No MANUAL Mode.
Pros: 5x Zoom, Fast Processor, Compact and Nice Design
Cons: Lack of "MANUAL Mode", it becomes Useless at Night
This is Not a Camera, it's a Toy. Like in Newer Models, Sony removed the "Manual Mode" Older models like the "DSC-F1" (the first Cybershot), the "DSC-W1" (the first W Model) and others, had Manual Mode (also "Automatic" mode for begginers) so they acted like Cameras. For example, I uploaded a Picture taken with a DSC-F88 (a 5 years old Cybershot). The Shutter Speed was changed to 30 seconds, something that the New "DSC-WX1" can't do, so it can't take a better or similar picture than this. In daylight, the DSC-WX1 is a great camera, with bizarre things like "Smile Shutter", "Happy Face Filter", "Easy Mode" (and useless too!), etc. Sadly, Newer "W" models are as useless as the "DSC-S" and the " DSC-T" line at night. Sony Style offered me an "Alpha" model, but they are too big and I can't carry a bag when shooting. So I returned the DSC-WX1 to Sony Style and I'm still using my DSC-F88 because it fit's in my pocket. The "DSC-WX1" is a TOY not a Camera. PS: The latest Cybershot featuring "Manual Mode" was the 2008 "DSC-W300" now Discontinued. I will search for a Compact Camera somewhere else. Only for "Daylight" use

very good compact camera
Pros: very good low light pics,excellent video, easy to use, fast
Cons: no macro mode, no sepia/B&W effects,
Bought this camera on november 2009 and I have used it for nearly 5 months. Did thorough research on all cameras of this segment and I went for this one specially for it's claimed low light image quality. And yes I made the right choice. This camera performs really well in lowlight and of course during day. A very important thing is to have the right settings before taking the shots. When taking pics in low-light I would suggest to reduce the EV values for very good pictures particularly if lights are covered directly in the picture. To conclude I am much satisfied with this little camera which slips easily in to my jeans packet. I am a graduate student and I live with my friends. After looking at some of the amazing pics it took my friends told me that it is worth every penny I spent on it ! I have uploaded some pics which I took with my camera. Cheers !
