A little bit of a let down. 
2008-08-18
This is a great looking camera and a nice size. I was replacing my aging panasonic camera and hoping that the pictures would be noticeably better, especially with double the mega pixels and dual antishake. But the pictures were very similar to my older camera and the antishake didn't seem to work at all. It may be that I didn't keep the camera long enough to figure out the best settings or that I got a defective one but I did return it and bought a Canon Elph instead. It's a SD850is and takes great pictures and was about the same price as the Sony. The canon has a flimsy plastic cover over the usb port that keeps popping open so I guess there is no perfect point and shoot but the pictures are very good and the digital macro lets you get as close as you possibly can.

Great camera in small package. I am not a prfessional so simple operation is a big plus. Compared to old Nikon Coolpix, a breeze to operate and navigate.

don't buy sony cameras

The problem with Sony cameras, both photo and video, is that Sony uses a variety of Sony memory sticks. My Sony video camera memory stick does not fit in my Sony Vaio. Incompatibility is a big problem generally within the Sony family. My girlfriend's Vaio's charger does not work on my Vaio. I have made a commitment to myself to not buy anything anymore from Sony because I'm tired of having to carry an adapter for SD cards and having a memory stick gate which doesn't accept my video camera, and remembering to not pack my girlfriends charger when I go traveling, and so on.
Outstanding compact camera 2008-08-01
The 7.2-Megapixel Cyber-shot(R) W120 features innovative Smile Shutter technology, which photographs smiles as they happen. A Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens provides high quality close-ups, while Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution gives you crisp, clear images. The advanced Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5" TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, 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(R) Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens. Aperture Range - Auto (F2.8-F14 with ND Filter) / Program Auto (F2.8-F14 with ND Filter) Shutter Speed - Auto (1/4 - 1/1,600) / Program Auto (1 - 1/1,600) Flash Modes - Auto, Forced On, Forced Off, and Slow Synch Movie Modes - MPEG VX Fine with Audio (640x480 at 30fps), MPEG VX Standard with Audio (640x480 at 16fps), Presentation (320 x 240 at 8fps) Scene Modes - Auto, Easy Shooting, Program Auto, Movie, High Sensitivity, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, and Smile Shutter Operating System - Microsoft 2000 Professional, Me, XP Home and Professional, Macintosh OS 9.1, 9.2, OS X (10.0-10.4)
E:91:01 2008-07-29
Recently I bought this camera, and two days later I found this error E:91:01 (The flash did not work since the begining),Now none knows what it is, and I am not living in USA any more, so now I'm looking for a Technical service to solve my problem. I'm really dissapointed on this product and I'm still trying to contact the seller to find out what can I do.
The most incredible thing was that when I started to find out on the net about this problem and I could see that this problem has existed since before models. I'M TOO DISSAPOINTED ON THIS PRODUCT because this error
A Nice camera but not for everybody 
2008-07-25
This is a nice camera{I got the Blue version that is prettier}
This camera takes very nice pictures but If you're looking for something kind of professional Then this one is not for you.
This is a simple camera for someone who will upload pictures to Facebook, Windows Live Spaces or My Space and will print some pictures. This is not like the Sony Cybershot W300 that is 13.6 Megapixels, This one is a nice camera for simple use.
I am still getting used to it because it's kind of complicated to handle but still I feel I will use this camera a long time...
Not worth the mone 2008-07-25
While this camera has an impressive collection of features (albeit few useful ones), the quality of the photo it takes turned out to be very poor. We didn't expect it to be as good as the Nikon D50, 6MP SLR we purchased two years ago, but even on full quality this "7.2MP" camera's pictures were worse than a five year old 2MP camera we have. Needless to say, we were very disappointed with this camera and returned it. We have since purchased a Panasonic FS3. It also offers a wide range of obscure features that we will never use, but it takes considerably better pictures in lower light situations than the Sony. It doesn't have the 4X optical zoom like the Sony, but we'll gladly give up a bit of zoom for added quality. The increased MP, 8.1 vs 7.2, makes up for a bit of the zoom. And considering the premium we had to pay for a Memory Stick vs a simple SD card, the overall cost was the same.
We have always been a Sony family for video recorders and cameras, TVs, portable stereos and game systems, but have never liked their digital cameras since the days of the Mavica and the early Cybershots. We were just hoping they had figured out what they were doing wrong, but when it comes to digital cameras, it is obvious Sony is counting on their brand name and styling to win over customers and hope they will be satisfied with what they get in the way of image quality.
We can only suggest you go to a store where you can get your hands on demo units that are charged and take some test pictures. When you review them, use the zoom feature to closely examine the image quality. Everything looks sharp on the little display screen, but once you zoom in or put the image on a larger screen you will be able to compare the quality of the different cameras side by side.
Great Camera! 2008-07-24
Before purchasing the Sony Cybershot DSCW120 I owned a Fujifilm digital camera. The camera was all around a good camera, but the pictures weren't as clear as I wanted them and it was a little bulky. Then I lost the battery and really wasn't sure if i wanted to spend the money to purchase a new one.
Then last week, I went onto Amazon and looked at camera's and got interested in buying a new Camera. Since I wanted something light, small, preferably black, takes clear pictures, and good reviews, I came across this Sony Cybershot. After reading all the review (which im a first review, then buy person) I was Sold. The next day I went to Circuit City and purchased the Camera, a case, screen protector, and of the course the $30 dollar memory card.
I took it home, turned it on and just started snapping pictures. The pictures were clear as day, even in low lighting areas. I tried using the Face Smile setting, which was a little confusing in the beginning, but after playing around, was actually really cool.
Another thing that I love is that when slidding the wheel, like when going to auto, face smile, video, etc, tells you what each setting is.
Example: When turing the wheel to Twilight is says "shoot low light scene using tripod". I think this is an awesome setting when turning the wheel and not really know what your turning to and have to either play around or resorting to the manual.
Overall I think this is an awesome camera thats light, a pocket size, and shoots crisp clear pictures. For the 200 dollars I spent, I cannot be happier.
