The Sony DSC W130 is an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. This is a compact model. With dimensions of 88.2 x 57.2 x 22.9mm it is small enough to fit into a pocket along as the pocket is not too small. Sony offers the DSC W130 in two colours: silver and black.
The DSC W130 is likely to appeal to someone who is looking for a cheaper pocket camera that is also easy to use. It can take a decent snapshot in most situations.
As with other models in this series there is a viewfinder. A lot of people still prefer using a viewfinder for composing photos and it can also come in useful if the sun is making the LCD screen difficult to see clearly.
It has a fairly typical set of features for a camera in this price range. Features such as image stabilisation take the DSC W130 to the next level above entry level digital cameras.
