We like:
Size and finish; manual controls; fast auto-focus
We don't like:
Average lens; gimmicky features
CNET UK judgement:
The W300's real qualities are its design, build, finish and responsiveness. The features are fun, but don't expect them to change your photography. And don't expect too much from that sensor, either, despite its stratospheric 13.6 million pixels and ISO 6,400. The 3x zoom is neither versatile nor particularly good

Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting

Very expensive, but, as soon as you pick it up, you know this camera is special
