Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W170 product review

Today we are testing one of the most popular point and shoot cameras on the market. Sony has always offered some of the best cameras in this price segment. The DSC-W170 is no exception and is considered to be another great value for money from manufacturer Sony.
Sony's W170 looks stylish, especially in black, gold or red. Cyber-shot DSC-W170 offers a 10Mp sensor and a pleasing wide-angle Carl Zeiss lens with 5x optical zoom, not to mention a number of fun features, in a sturdy, industrial-looking form.
