Camera Overview β€” Sony DSC-W115

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W115 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 7MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor. Housed in a metal and plastic body measuring 88.2 x 57.2 x 22.9 mm and weighing just 156g, it strikes a balance between portability and durability that suits casual everyday shooters. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD display with 115,000 dots serves as the primary framing tool, complemented by an optical viewfinder for situations where screen visibility is limited.

Autofocus relies on contrast detection, and burst shooting is supported at up to 1.5 frames per second. The ISO range spans 100 to 3200, giving the camera some flexibility in varying lighting conditions. A built-in flash covers Auto, Fill-in, Slow Sync, and Red-eye Reduction modes, handling a range of common shooting scenarios without the need for an external unit.

Three color profiles β€” Standard, Vivid, and Natural β€” offer basic creative control over image rendering. Video capture is available at 30fps in 8-bit color with a Standard color profile. Storage relies on Memory Stick PRO Duo media, and connectivity includes USB.

There is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or image stabilization of any kind, and no hot shoe for external flash or accessories. Battery life is rated at approximately 420 shots per charge under CIPA standards, which is reasonably competitive for a compact in this class.
