Conclusion
The Cyber-shot DSC-W220 doesn't offer any revolutionary advancements, but it packages a number of attractive features found in more expensive models into a sub-$200 camera. We were impressed by the build quality of our pre-production sample: the metal body feels solid and substantial in your hand. The resolution (at 12.1MP), optical zoom (4x) and ISO range (up to ISO 3200) are all just a bit more generous than we expect for a camera in this class. Even some easy-to-overlook features, such as the ability to adjust flash intensity, will prove very useful in real-world situations. We would have appreciated some level of manual control, but then again, this is indisputably a point-and-shoot camera, where the two levels of Auto mode are more important to the target audience than the option to set shutter speed or aperture directly.Without lab results, of course, we can't begin to give thumbs up or thumbs down to the camera, but it made a strong first impression.
