Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220

First Impressions Review

Components

 The brushed metal body of the DSC-W220 makes a handsome impression for an inexpensive camera. It's available in black, green, blue and a rather aggressive pink.

 

Front
From left to right, the camera front provides a thin flash unit above and to the left of the telescoping 4x optical zoom lens. On the other side of the lens are four small holes, with a small speaker beneath. The auto focus assist illuminator/self-timer indicator is in the top right corner.
 


The design is simple but attractive, with a solid feel in your hand.

Back
The 2.7-inch screen takes up most of the back of the camera, wth controls grouped in a vertical strip down the right side. At the top of this control block is the zoom lens switch, which doubles as a photo enlargement control during playback. Next down is the mode dial, with ten options, . There's a dedicated playback button, indicated by the standard VCR-style logo, and below that a four-way controller for menu navigation, with dedicated controls for (from the top, clockwise) Display Mode, Flash, Self-Timer and Macro Mode, with an OK button in the middle. At the bottom of the control panel are two buttons, one that calls up the relevant Menu for the current mode, the other a Home key to back out of menu options. 


The controls are small but well spaced for easy access.

Sides
Other than reminding the user of the slightly extended zoom range offered by the camera, the left side has no particular function.
 

As you can see here, the lens at full extension
is deeper than the camera itself.

The right side provides a loop for threading the wrist strap.

 


The right side is ready for the wrist strap attachment.

Top
The top of the camera is simply laid out, with the shutter at the far right and the power switch beside it. The three-dot cluster at the left is the microphone location.


 

Shiny and straightforward

Bottom
The door at the left slides out and pivots down to provide access to the battery compartment and MemoryStick slot. The plastic tripod mount is centered beneath the lens.
 


The plastic tripod mount won't take much wear and tear,
but likely users probably won't care.
