CNET have posted their review of the new 5 megapixel Sony DSC-W1 digital compact camera.

“Its 2.5-inch LCD may look like it belongs on a handheld PDA, but this compact 5.1-megapixel photomachine is all camera, with enough manual settings to please nascent enthusiasts, and most of the automated features snapshooters can’t live without. A crisp 3X optical zoom, excellent macro capabilities, and a relatively high-powered MPEG movie mode make the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W1 fun to drive. Unfortunately, several flaws, including relatively average performance, overly processed images, and the absence of some common scene modes (such as one for fast action and sports) keep this Sony from getting higher marks.”
