I am returning the camera, really this camera is NOT worth $350.
Totally NOT worth the hype.
The low light pics were no different than before with LOTS of noise and grains.
Those sample photos we see on review sites must have been taken with tripods and low ISO or had Photoshop tweaks.
The Sweep Panorama would not interlace the images smoothly and pics had squashed face & thick walls, and thin men.
The day light pics had colors washed-out, and sunny blue sky looked like dull gray day.
10 fps shots require BRIGHT BRIGHT lighting, otherwise you get 10 absolutely BLURRY shots.
Oh.. forgot to mention.
There is NO manual control at all. I mean NOTHING.
CAMERA NOT RECOMMENDED.

Its shot response more fast than I think. I very like.
It’s very convenient for me to catch my baby.

It does take better photos in low light, but overall picture quality for an amateur user isn’t that great.

Recently I upgraded from the Sony dsc w1 to the wx1 (5 years of technology development in between). Overall I am not very impressed. The cameras has some great attributes such as the lens itself, weight and form factor but also comes with baggage: Non-standard cable connector (yup – you are on your own when you leave the house – not sure what Sony was thinking here and forget to stream via an hdmi cable to your hdtv), no integrated battery charging, compression of the pictures is not great (and there is no quality control adjustment), the software menu is limited compared to the original dsc w1 (e.g. no manual mode), the iso is out of your control except in program mode, the display setting is useless (you have to live with super bright lcd screen that eats your battery away if you are interested on image info such as exposure/aperture/iso) and the average image quality is less compared the older dsc w1 (5MP) when taking the compression fragments (looks like a noise picture) into consideration. The camera has the advertised light sensitivity but I am not sure how much Sony can claim it on the cmos imager: The lens has an aperture of 2.4 (more light gets onto the imager) what is better than most comparable cameras out there as well the iso value goes very easily through the roof (noisy pictures). The panorama feature works well and the optical image stabilizer seems to do its trick (if you are not too shaky, you can get a steady shot with a 1/8 exposure time). Overall: If you are interested in a small, light, good looking and compact point-and-forget camera that makes ok pictures, this camera might work for you. For people who look for good image quality, stay away from it until the 1st firmware upgrade comes along and see if Sony fixed some issues such as display and image compression.

This camera is the best thing since sliced bread. The low light photos (without a flash) are incredible! The 10 burst mode is brilliant and the stereo HD video is excellent. I highly recommend this super portable moment catcher!
