Best Point-and-Shoot Camera I've Owned!!
It's a small camera that can easily fit in your pocket or in your purse. It's even smaller than my phone!! My phone isn't huge by any means, but the camera is a bit smaller than that. The camera itself has MANY 'Scene Modes' to choose from. From Anti-Blur to Night-Scene to High-Sensitivity... It has practically every basic mode there is to use with a small point-and-shoot camera. I personally love the Anti-Blur Mode on the camera, since my hand is normally VERY jerky, resulting in blurry photos. And the Anti-Blur is just what I needed. My boyfriend has VERY sensitive eyes. Whenever I use the Flash on the camera, he's always squinting or has his eyes closed. So the Anti-Blur Mode will help take No-Flash photos with Anti-Blur, of my boyfriend and myself, so the photos will come out beautiful every time! But it also does great capturing sunsets, nature, items you're trying to sell online... It's a great camera for everything. Sure, the camera isn't going to replace your DSLR cameras out there, since those are professional quality cameras, and this is just a small camera for basic stuff. But the photos still come out beautiful. I've always been a fan of Sony products. I've never had a problem with ANY of their products before. And this is no different. As for those of you that love to take videos of your children, pets, or whatever, this camera even has an Anti-Blur Mode for videos! Which is great for those videos where there's a lot of movement in!My old camera was a Canon PowerShot A2300 camera. It was a 16MP camera with a 5X Optical Zoom, but it didn't have a Mode for Anti-Blur, nor did it have any sort of Image Stabilization. So whenever I took photos without the Flash on, the photos would ALWAYS be blurry. Even though my Canon camera was a 16MP, and the Sony camera is a 16.2MP, the Sony camera takes MUCH better photos with and without the Flash. I'm sure that .2MP doesn't make much of a difference, but I think the Carl Zeiss lens on the Sony camera definitely helps boost the image quality. Which is WONDERFUL.It is a bit weird how you go about charging the camera battery, though. Most companies include a charger that has a slot to stick your battery in, then you plug it into a wall socket. Even older Sony cameras used this method. For this camera, you plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the USB cable from the charger to the camera. And it basically charges the battery INSIDE of the camera. Kind of reminds me of the mp3 and mp4 players that they make nowadays, where you have to plug them in to charge them.All in all, this camera is GREAT!!I'm not sure why so many people are rating this camera 1 star, due to the packaging and the delivery. I thought the review was supposed to be for the CAMERA?? And the packaging and delivery has NOTHING to do with the camera itself.

Great Handy Camera
I researched digital point and shoot cameras a long time before deciding on the Sony DSC WX80/B. This is my third digital camera and I am very pleased. My $400 Olympus Stylus 1200 went dead after a couple years, needed $200 to repair. My Nikon Coolpix cost $90 but took blurry pictures. This little Sony is the size of a deck of cards and takes super clear and sharp photos with its Carl Zeiss lens. The battery life seems longer, too, than my other cameras. Easy to switch to video. The surprise was the simple ease of this cameras WiFi and the quick usefulness of having my photos immediately on my tablet, a Sony Tablet S. I own many Sony products and am very pleased with the quality of each. This camera was a bargain. I also bought the Wasabi 2 battery pack and charger, although this camera comes with a Sony battery for in-camera charging. Also bought separately a high quality memory chip, a PNY 16GB, 90 MB/second transfer rate for fast repeat photos. This camera has a burst photos feature which I haven't tried. There is a one to two second delay between photos when shooting stills normally or in telephoto. The zoom is impressive for such a small camera. I use this mostly for sports events and some wildlife. It freezes action very clearly. The wifi feature is now a necessity to me, very convenient. Many other features. Highly recommended.

Black Friday deal
Purchased based on price. The model above (WX200) is different only in having a better zoom range on the lens. My main use will be for video. It does shoot full HD video at 1920 X 1080i 60 which I convert to 1020 X 1080p 30 using the hand break program which I can use in my video editor pitivi running in Fedora linux. One can shoot lower resolution video at 1080p or 720p in mpeg4 files but i prefer to use the highest resolution. I am very happy with the video at all resolution settings. The optical image stabilization does a good job. Considering the size of the battery its life is great. No big surprise but the buttons are wee for one with big hands.Now for the minusesThe manual that comes with the camera is printed on news print and awful. Go on line and google DX80 users guild to get something truly useful.There is no included battery charger only a usb cable one can use to directly transfer data to a mac or pc and charge the battery. For some reason I have an old sony charger which works with this battery.The thing I like the least is you need a PC or Mac with the sony software to get the video data from your SD card into a computer. It seems to work fine once it is set up. When I put the SD card into my card reader or hook up the camera via usb it automatically uploads my data and put it into my pictures folder. Unfortunately for me it does not work in linux.There is a micro HDMI out port on the camera but no cable is included. I ordered a couple of micro hdmi to hdmi adaptors for less than $1 each off amazon and am waiting for them to come from honk kong.All in all with the super deal I got on this camera I feel it is a wonderful photo/video tool. Great camera for the budding vloger or someone who wants a big step up from the quality of their portable phone.
