Key Advantages

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 boasts a high-resolution 7.2 MP sensor that produces sharp images. Its 3x optical zoom lens provides versatile framing options from wide-angle to moderate telephoto. The inclusion of Face Detection and Smile Shutter technologies improves portrait results and usability. A bright 2.5-inch LCD screen offers comfortable viewing and menu navigation. Lightweight and pocket-friendly, it appeals to users needing a portable camera. Additionally, the camera's easy-to-use interface and Intelligent Auto mode simplify point-and-shoot operation for beginners.

Limitations

The DSC-W80's 3x optical zoom is relatively limited compared to contemporary models offering higher zoom ranges. It lacks advanced manual controls which restrict experienced photographers seeking deeper creative flexibility. The camera does not support HD or Full HD video recording, offering only VGA resolution, which seems outdated by modern standards. Low light performance may be constrained due to a smaller sensor size and modest ISO range maxing at 3200 with noise reduction trade-offs. The rear LCD is non-touch and of modest resolution, limiting advanced interface options. Limited connectivity options without Wi-Fi or HDMI output reduce multimedia sharing capabilities.
