Typical price: £190
What is it: 8-megapixel compact with in-camera editing
What we think: The W130 makes an excellent choice for a point-and-shoot camera
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 29 February 2008
Tags: sony, contrast, noise, colours
We like:
Fast shutter; slightly longer-than-normal lens; handy in-camera editing and slide show functions
We don't like:
Softening around edges; noisy at ISO 800 and higher
CNET UK judgement:
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130's quick performance and decent image quality make it a solid follow-up to the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90, and a good choice for a pocket point-and-shoot camera

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
