Camera OverviewSony Cyber-shot DSC-W130

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. It offers an ISO range of 100 to 3200, giving shooters reasonable flexibility across different lighting conditions. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce blur from camera shake during handheld shooting.

For focusing, it uses a contrast detection autofocus system with 9 focus points and face detection AF, making it straightforward to use for portraits and everyday snapshots. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD display with 115,000 dots serves as the primary framing tool, as there is no viewfinder. Color profiles available for stills include Normal, Vivid, Natural, Sepia, and Black & White, providing some in-camera creative control.

Video capture tops out at 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color. The camera includes a built-in flash and supports USB connectivity. Storage options cover both internal storage and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.

At 154g and measuring 88 x 57 x 22 mm in a metal and plastic body, the DSC-W130 is genuinely pocketable. The NP-BG1 lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 370 shots per charge.
