How Does it Compare
While not as small as its main competitor (the Canon PowerShot S500), the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 is a very impressive compact digital camera. It packs a 5 Megapixel CCD, 3X optical zoom lens, and large 2.5" LCD into a stylish, all-metal body.
While the S500 is a point-and-shoot camera, the DSC-W1 offers a handful of manual controls, including shutter speed, aperture, and focus (though the last two are limited). The one control missing from the W1 that the S500 has is manual white balance, which is quite useful. The W1 is a very responsive camera, with a near-instant startup time, and fast focus and shot-to-shot speeds. The AF-assist lamp helped it focus in low light, though you'll have to rely on the optical viewfinder in those situations, as the LCD will be too dark. Photo quality on the W1 is quite good, and is comparable to the S500, though redeye is bad on both cameras.
The W1 also offers something not available on the S500 -- or most any ultra-compact camera -- and that is expansion capability. The camera supports three conversion lenses, plus an external flash (which will help with that redeye problem). The only thing missing is an underwater case, which the S500 offers. For transferring photos directly from the camera, the W1's USB 2.0 high speed support will speed things up considerably over the S500's USB 1.1.
Both the W1 and S500 have VGA movie modes, though the W1's is much better, assuming you have a Memory Stick Pro card to take advantage of it. The memory card difference is an important one, as the CompactFlash cards used by the S500 are less expensive than the W1's Memory Sticks. The S500 also gets points for a superior software bundle.
While the S500 is a bit smaller and lighter, the W1 does give it a run for the money, and I highly recommend it. Either camera is a great choice, so I suggest trying both in person to see which is more compatible with you.
What I liked:
Very good photo quality
Stylish, all-metal body
Super-fast performance
Huge 2.5" LCD display
Limited manual controls
VGA, 30 fps movie mode
Support for conversion lenses and external flash
USB 2.0 high speed support
AF-assist lamp
Histograms in record and playback mode
What I didn't care for:
Redeye
More manual controls would be nice
LCD nearly impossible to see in low light
Unimpressive software bundle; not very Mac friendly either
Flimsy plastic door over memory card slot

Conclusion
Functionally, the Sony DSC-W1 is nearly a dead ringer for the slightly more compact DSC-P100, offering nearly the same functions in a differently-shaped and slightly larger body, with a larger 2.5 inch LCD. It competes with models like Canon's PowerShot S500 in the "subcompact" digicam category, and should be a strong player there, with its excellent mix of features, functions, small size, and image quality. It provides more manual exposure control than most compact models permit, yet is easy to use in full-auto mode, and its six preprogrammed scene modes help with tricky subjects. Its photos show excellent color and sharpness, although it shares with its P100 sibling some white-balance weakness under household incandescent lighting, and likewise achieves its surprisingly low image noise levels at the expense of image detail in areas of subtle contrast. (It seems to have a very aggressive anti-noise system, which does indeed deliver low noise in flat-tinted areas, but which also tends to flatten-out fine subject detail in areas with low contrast, such as hair, grass, etc.) In my testing, the W1 did a very good job with dynamic range and highlight detail when I employed its optional low-contrast setting, a feature that I really like to see, given how common it is for digicams to lose the highlights when trying for "snappy" photos under harsh lighting. The DSC-W1 also has very good macro capability, and is unusually capable when shooting under low light conditions. Finally, while I couldn't test its power consumption directly, Sony's specs and my own anecdotal experience both speak of very good battery life. Add in a surprisingly fast shutter response, very fast shot to shot cycle times, and a (relatively) huge and very readable 2.5" LCD display, and you've got a real winner of a compact digicam, one with fewer tradeoffs than you'd expect to find in a camera packed into such a small case size. If you're looking for a great "take anywhere" camera with great versatility and excellent color and tonality, the Sony DSC-W1 should be an easy choice. A "Dave's Pick," although I have to say that I'd be happier with it if its noise-suppression processing were a bit less aggressive.

Steve's Conclusion
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 is a compact and durable camera that's loaded with powerful features such as a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and a high resolution 5-megapixel imager. The W1 is easy to use in the Auto or Program AE exposure modes and when you want to exercise your creative side, you can simply rotate the mode dial to the desired shooting mode. With the ability to choose from five different image sizes, the camera offers versatility for all types of applications. The 3:2 mode is perfect for capturing images without having to worry about cropping them for creating 4x6-inch prints. Shooting in 1MP mode is great for sending pictures via e-mail or posting listings at online auctions.
One of the most noticeable features of the W1 is the 2.5-inch TFT color LCD. I was impressed with the LCD's performance when using it in bright light conditions, the menu screens were legible and framing was no problem, even with Florida's bright sun beating directly on it. It also does very well in low-ambient light. The LCD "gains up" when shooting in these low light conditions, which is very important when shooting night-scenes, indoor shots, etc.
The Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens helps produces sharp images that are virtually free from any signs of chromatic aberration. At full wide angle there is a mild amount of barrel distortion, but not enough to cause any major distortion in your subjects. The 5-point auto focus system is very quick and thanks to the focus- assist lamp, we had very little problems focusing on subjects in low- light conditions. When using Macro mode, we found that the flash does an excellent job of "throttling down" to ensure that it does not overexpose macro subjects.
The shooting performance was impressive. Press the power button and it's ready to go in just under 2 seconds. Power up to first image captured was a fast 2.2 seconds. Shutter lag was a mere 1/10 of a second when pre- focused and 2/10 of a second including autofocus. In Normal record mode, the shot to shot time is about 1.5 seconds. The W1 allows users to choose between two burst modes (Burst, Multi Burst). The number of images you can capture when shooting in burst mode depends on the image size and quality settings. Burst mode captured 9 frames in about 6.5 seconds. It takes about 9 seconds for the W1 to process a full buffer and then you can continue shooting. Shooting in Multi Burst mode, with the interval set at 1/30, captured 16 images in less than a second. When using Multi Burst mode, the image size is locked at 1MP and all 16 images a recorded within a single animated frame. Switching between record and playback mode takes about a second. In playback you can go from picture to picture in less than a second. All of our test were done using a 256MB Memory Stick Pro card, with the image size/quality set at 2592x1944/Fine mode and the flash off. All times may vary depending on lighting conditions, camera setting, media, etc.
The overall image quality in 2592x1944/Fine mode is excellent, for the most part the default settings produce well saturated and properly exposed pictures. The user can control the saturation, contrast and sharpness so you can "dial in" just the right look for your images. I found that the automatic white balance did its job well and only under some very mixed lighting did I need to manually set the color temperature. I was pleased with our outdoor test shots. The images were sharp, well saturated, and there was very little noise in open blue sky areas. You can see this by taking a look at our Sample Photos page. When shooting indoors, you will have to work within the limited flash range. It works well for Portrait and small group photos, but does not have the power to light up large open rooms. I did notice a slight amount of redeye when the flash was set to auto, but this minute amount is acceptable. Some people seem to always have redeye, no matter what flash setting you are using.
Bottom line the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1 is an all around great camera. It makes a perfect choice for those wanting a compact, durable, and easy to use digicam. With it's all-metal body, you can be worry free when tossing it in your luggage while on vacation. The 5-megapixel images it yields have plenty of resolution to make photo- quality 8x10-inch prints from home or you're local digital photo lab. It offers various shooting modes, which makes it usable by any member of the family. With a suggested list price of $400, it makes a great choice for your holiday gift list.

新力500萬像新機 銀黑雙雄W1登場。 W系列，是新力新推出的一個系列，其中W1則是針對的佳能IXUS 500的一款機型。作為新力公司的一款新數碼相機，其表現如何呢？請大家觀看下文。
W1隨盒附件：
一部500萬像素的W1數碼相機
32MB的Memory Stick 記憶卡
兩節新力AA NIMH可充電電池
一個電池充電器
AC電源轉換器
手腕掛帶
USB數據線
A/V數據線
一張驅動CD
一部用戶說明書
新力的隨機附件可謂不過不失，在裏面我們沒有看到什麼驚喜。對於新力隨機附送的32MB Memory Stick 記憶卡，顯然是不夠容納500萬像素的W1所拍攝的照片的，很快消費者就得再去購買多一張額外的記憶卡。我們建議的是起碼128MB容量的Memory Stick 記憶卡，當然，容量越大當然越好，不過為此你得付出更多的價錢。新力Memory Stick 記憶卡的價錢可是不便宜的。W1支援容量高達1G的Memory Stick PRO記憶卡。
W1隨機附送的電池還是不錯的，兩節新力自家的2100毫安NIMH充電電池，還有一個充電器。根據新力官方的資料，使用兩節2100mAh的W1可以在打開LCD的情況下，連續使用170分鐘，或者拍攝340張照片。這樣的續航情況對於一台數碼相機而言相當不錯。 同時，由於W1相容AA電池，所以大家在外旅行的時候不需太?心電池問題。當相機電池沒電的時候，可以方便的使用兩顆AA電池為相機供電。
可惜的是，W1隨機附送的不是快速充電器，要充滿兩顆2100mAh的電池需要6個小時的時間。對於某些朋友來說，可能需要另外購買一個一小時快速充電器。此外，W1原裝的充電器沒有內置電源變壓器，使用的時候需要外接變壓器。這對於旅行不是很方便。
W1使用了內置鏡頭的設計，同時，新力公司在體積控制上做得相當不錯，正如大家所見的，W1的體積很小。 一手即可掌握。
W1擁有著數量驚人的外接擴展配件，其中有VCL-DH0730 型號的0.7X（0.7倍）廣角鏡（售價99美金），透過該款廣角鏡，可以使得W1的廣角端達到不過的26.6mm。VCL-DH1730型號的1.7x（1.7倍）增距鏡（售價99美金），透過該款增距鏡可以使得W1達到193.8mm的長焦端，如果大家對於這樣的焦段還不滿意，認為長焦還是太少了，還可選購VCL-DH2630型號的2.6x（2.6倍）增距鏡，透過它，可以使得W1達到296.4的長焦端，這樣的焦段比尼康的8700 280mm的長焦段還要厲害。
當然，要使用這些外接鏡頭，還需要使用型號為VAD-WA的轉接器，售價大約為30美金。此外，透過該轉接器，大家還可以使用30mm口徑的濾鏡。由於30mm的濾鏡在市場上並不多見，所以新力提供了三種效果的濾鏡，包括：特殊效果濾鏡，偏震鏡，與減光鏡。
當然，還有更加意外的，W1提供了外接閃光燈，這對於一款如此小巧的數碼相機來說，這樣的設計絕不多見。W1可以使用HVL-FSL1B的外接從閃。
W1使用了全金屬機身外殼，同時其外形設計很利於握持，操控上也很簡單便利。 W1的大小為91 x 60 x 36.3 mm，重量為189克，這個重量比W1的競爭對手IXUS 500稍重，IXUS 500的重量為185克。
W1使用F2.8 - F5.2, 3X光學變焦的卡爾蔡司鏡片的鏡頭，比起IXUS 500的鏡頭的光圈F2.8 - F4.9而言稍遜。同時W1鏡頭等效焦段為38 - 114mm。更重要的是，W1支援外接鏡頭而IXUS 500不支援，這樣W1的擴展性大大增強了。
在機身的左上方還有一個小的麥克風與對焦輔助燈。
轉到W1的機身背面，大家首先會注意的一定都是W1那個碩大的顯示屏，W1的顯示屏大小為2.5寸，這樣大小的螢幕在現時的數碼相機中絕對是頂級配置。W1的液晶顯示屏大小為2.5英寸，123,000像素。與佳能的IXUS 500的1.5寸，118,000像素的液晶屏比較，W1的可視面更大，但是銳度較差。同時，使用中還發現，W1的液晶屏在強烈的陽光下，顯示效果還是不錯啊。
在W1機身背面的左上方是她的光學取景框。
在液晶屏的右方是W1的操作按鈕，整體的佈局對於新力的老玩家來說，絕對非常熟悉。最上方的是變焦鍵，W1從廣角端到長焦端的需要大約2秒的時間。
機身上方的設計比較簡潔，主要是模式轉盤與電源開關。
不過，較令我注意的是，W1具有M全手動模式，在全手動模式下，用家可以自行設定光圈與快門值。可以說，與IXUS 500在傻瓜的M模式相比（隻能設定ISO，對焦點等參數，不能設定光圈快門值），W1操控性更強。同時W1提供了5種情景模式，也比IXUS 500多。
機身兩側，W1像新力其他較新的數碼相機一樣，支援USB2.0的數據傳輸速度。
W1像其他新力的機型一樣，提供了5點可選對焦區域，並且擁有即時直方圖顯示，對於掌握曝光很有幫助。 W1的開機速度不算很快，大約需要1.5秒的時間。在光線充足的時候，W1對焦速度很快，但是光線不足的情況下，尤其是使用對焦輔助燈的時候，對焦速度明顯減慢，大約需要整整一秒的時間才能完成對焦。
新力W1還提供了640x480不限時動畫的拍攝。
總結：
對於新力的W1，筆者覺得其與佳能的佳能IXUS 500相競爭的話，佔有明顯的優勢。首先，對於消費市場而言，更大的螢幕意味著更大的吸引力。W1的螢幕是2.5寸，而佳能IXUS 500的螢幕只有1.5寸，雖然佳能IXUS 500的解析度更高，但是對於消費級而言，更大的螢幕使用意義更大。
同時，W1的視頻拍攝能力要強於佳能IXUS 500,得益與W1所用記憶體的高寫入速度，W1可以實現流暢的不限時動畫，而佳能IXUS 500沒有這個。
同時，在操控性與擴展性上，W1比佳能IXUS 500更佳，W1擁有手動選項，更多的情景模式。更重要的是，W1擁有更多的原裝擴展附件。
P. S.在香港買的行貨Sony W-1隨機的叉電機是100~240V，即是去旅行是沒有問題的，亦不需外接變壓器。
