The Sony Cybershot DSC W320 offers plenty of megapixels with 14 packed onto the sensor. One of the advantages this gives you is it can help to increase the amount of zoom available. The Cybershot DSC W320 comes with a 4x zoom lens, but zoom can be increased if you lower the resolution and use fewer megapixels when you are taking a photo. The maximum zoom available is 28x when shooting at the lowest resolution.
The lens has wide angle capabilities. This comes in useful when you are trying to squeeze wide scenes into a shot. The combination of a wide angle lens and the opportunity to increase the amount of zoom available, makes the Cybershot DSC W320 quite a flexible digital camera.
Other features include a 2.7 inch LCD screen. Image stabilisation is available as well. Aside from those features there is nothing that really stands out. The Cybershot DSC W320 is basically a simple point and shoot digital camera.
One change when compared with previous Sony digital cameras is the expansion of storage options. Images can now be saved to SD / SDHC memory cards as well as Sony Memory Stick Duo cards.
For the colour conscious Sony has released versions in four different colours. You can select from green, pink, black and silver models.
