Key Advantages

The Sony DSC-W220/L's 12.1-megapixel resolution delivers detailed and vibrant images suitable for prints and digital sharing. Its 3x optical zoom offers flexibility in composing shots without sacrificing image quality. The inclusion of image stabilization technology assists in capturing sharp images in handheld conditions. The 2.7-inch LCD screen provides a clear and intuitive interface for framing and menu navigation. Support for both Memory Stick Duo and SD cards allows users to choose from widely available memory storage options. Finally, the compact and lightweight design enhances portability, making it ideal for travel and everyday use.

Limitations

Despite its features, the DSC-W220/L has limited low-light performance due to its maximum ISO sensitivity of 1600 and relatively small CCD sensor. The 3x optical zoom range is modest compared to higher-end models, which might limit composition flexibility. Video recording is restricted to VGA resolution, which is low by current standards. The camera lacks advanced manual controls, making it less suitable for professional users who require more creative control. Battery life is average, requiring frequent recharging for extended use. Additionally, the LCD screen is not touch-enabled and uses older display technology, which may affect user interface experience.
