Product Description
From the Manufacturer
In silver, black, pink, or light blue, the DSC-W55 is a stand-out choice for style-conscious start-out or step-up camera customers who appreciate real value and advanced technology. 7.2 MP imaging, Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and high sensitivity combine to capture clear, high-detail images even in low light--and with up to 380-shot2 Stamina battery power, 56 MB internal memory capacity and large 2.5-inch LCD screen, the DSC-W55 is ideal for family memories at home or on the road.
7.2-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss 3x Optical Zoom Lens Design
A top-quality Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W55 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition--a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos.
Large 2.5-Inch LCD Screen
The DSC-W55 provides a large, bright LCD screen for composing shots, checking results, sharing your photos on location and reading camera setup menus even in full sunlight.
High Sensitivity Mode
With high sensitivity of ISO 1000, the DSC-W55 gives you better shots in low light so you can shoot without flash to preserve the mood--great for birthday parties, indoor gatherings and candid portraits.
Clear RAW Noise Reduction
The original Sony Clear RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps suppress color noise that can accompany high-sensitivity shooting.
56MB Internal Memory
The DSC-W55 allows you to capture a large number of images without a flash memory card, so it's great for traveling or for quick candid snapshots.
Memory Stick Duo Media Convenience
The DSC-W55 also has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media--the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your SonyPicture Station digital printer (sold separately).
Function Guide Text/Icon Display
An on-screen Function Guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust photo settings.
Versatile Color Modes
The DSC-W55 gives you greater creative freedom to adjust color mode for the creative results you want--with Natural setting for subtle colors, Rich setting for more intense colors, in addition to Monochrome and Sepia color settings.
Convenient Photo Modes
To adjust quickly for specific shooting situations, the DSC-W55 lets you choose from several convenient photo modes: Auto, P-Auto, and Scene Selections for Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, High Sensitivity, Soft Snap, Snow, and Beach environments.
14x Smart Zoom Feature
The Sony Smart Zoom feature intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-W55 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second4), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
Stamina Battery Power
Sony lets you capture up to 380 shots2 with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery--enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.
Burst Mode
You can fire off four shots automatically at 7.2 MP mode or up to 64 shots at VGA standard mode--a great way to capture a child's first steps or a pet's best tricks.
Picture Motion Browser Software
Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PC--and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.

This camera is lightweight, easy to use, and the manual that comes with it is excellent. Love the self timer (can be put on 2 second or 10 second delay, and flashes a convenient red light when ready to take picture), easy to use options and menu buttons, review screen is very clear, and the zoom is fantastic!!
One year later update:
Still LOVE love love this camera. The video quality is also great, as I've found many occasions that videos are necessary. I still highly recommend this camera for the gal on the go, this camera is worth every cent in my opinion for ease, convenience, and crystal clear pictures nearly every time! I also recommend buying the little mini tri-pod stand for low-light pictures or a group shot.
HOWEVER, there is no option to add a date stamp, which is very important to me. I have two kids and won't remember when pictures were taken otherwise.
It also has this annoying flash that flashes several times before the 'big' flash when it actually takes the photo. This causes whoever to have a squinty face from being blinded from the flashes. I think this was because it was set to red eye reduction but I'm pretty sure it did it even when I turned it off.
I've since gotten a Polaroid i733 for $85.00 which works just as good and has more features. Save your money.
Everything else about the camera is great. Fast pics, easy to use, good quality, lightweight, etc.
This one when u. Hit the button was instant...Lived it
If I could find another just like it I would buy it!
Update 6/7/2012 -- Sony found "corrosion" damage when they opened up the camera. They claim this is _not_ covered by the warranty. The camera is only six months old, and has been used only indoors or outside the house in sunny, dry weather! It has not been exposed to humidity, has not been dropped, has not had any liquid spilled on it. A google search suggests this is a common problem for Sony cameras. Sony should honor their warranty.
My eight-year-old Canon Powershot still works fine and has been used under much more harsh conditions than the Sony was.
I will not buy another Sony camera.
