Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800: a simple 5x zoom point-and-shoot
The DSC-W800 is a pocketable compact built around a 1/2.3" CCD sensor and a 26-130mm equivalent lens with a 5x optical zoom. Maximum aperture runs to f/3.2 at the wide end, and Optical SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode helps keep handheld shots steady through the zoom range, which matters most at the telephoto end where shake gets magnified.
Everything here is automated. There's no aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual exposure mode, just Sony's Subject/scene modes doing the reading for you, backed by ISO settings from 100 to 3200 plus an Auto option. The fixed 2.7" LCD with 230,000 dots is your only framing tool since there's no viewfinder, and a close focus distance of 5 cm lets you get in tight on small subjects.
Video tops out at 1280 x 720 at 30 fps, recorded in AVI MPEG4 with mono audio, enough for casual clips without pretending to be a video camera. Continuous shooting sits at 1.0 fps, so this isn't built for chasing action. At 125 g and just 54mm tall, it's the kind of camera you forget is in your bag until you need it, which is the entire point of a design this stripped-down.
Who It's For
Casual shooters who want a grab-and-go camera without menus to think about will find the scene modes and full auto exposure handle most situations on their own. Travelers benefit from the 26-130mm equivalent range covering wide group shots to moderate telephoto without swapping gear, all in a 125 g body that disappears into a jacket pocket. Parents documenting kids or pets get a 5 cm macro focus distance for close-up detail and Optical SteadyShot to offset the shake that comes with quick, one-handed shooting. Anyone stepping up from a phone camera but wanting a dedicated device with an optical zoom lens and a real self-timer for group photos will find this a straightforward fit.

FAQ
- What sensor does the DSC-W800 use?
- It's a 1/2.3" CCD sensor with 20.1 MP resolution. CCD sensors have their own character compared to the CMOS you'll find in modern cameras, with a particular color rendition that some photographers prefer for compact cameras.
- Can you use manual exposure modes on this camera?
- No. The DSC-W800 is fully automatic with Subject/scene modes handling exposure. You get ±2 EV exposure compensation at 1/3 step intervals if you need to shift the metering, but there's no aperture priority, shutter priority, or full manual mode.
- What's the zoom range on the 5x lens?
- 26-130mm equivalent with f/3.2 maximum aperture at the wide end. Optical SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode helps compensate for shake, which you'll feel most at the telephoto end where even minor movement reads larger in the frame.
- Does this camera have a viewfinder?
- No, it's LCD-only. You get a fixed 2.7" screen with 230,000 dots for framing, no articulation. It's a tradeoff you accept for this level of pocket-friendliness.
- What are the video specs?
- 1280 x 720 at 30 fps, recorded in AVI MPEG4 with mono audio. This is fine for casual clips-don't expect it to replace a video camera, but it's adequate if you need to grab some moving footage.
- How fast can you shoot continuously?
- 1.0 fps. This camera isn't built for action sequences. It's for single shots, deliberate framing, and the occasional burst of two or three frames if the subject moves.
- What's the minimum focus distance?
- 5 cm, which lets you get very close to small subjects for macro-style work without needing a dedicated macro mode.
