Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150
8.1 megapixels | 2.7" screen | 30 – 150 mm (5×)
One of a range of very similar W series cameras announced in early 2008, the DSC-W150 is a is a competitively-priced but nicely put together 8.1 megapixel budget metal-bodied compact with a very versatile 30-150mm (equiv.) 5x zoom and 2.7" screen - plus a fairly comprehensive feature set. The closely-related DSC-W120 did very well in our December 2008 budget camera group test. (April 2009)
