Camera Overview โ€” Sony DSC-W150

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 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 80 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with face detection AF across 9 focus points, making it straightforward to capture portraits and group shots. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots provides a reasonably sized screen for composing and reviewing images. Maximum still resolution reaches 3264x2448 pixels, and four color profiles โ€” Standard, Vivid, Sepia, and Monochrome โ€” offer some creative control in-camera.

Burst mode is supported at up to 2 frames per second. For video, the camera records at up to 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color. Storage options include Memory Stick PRO Duo and internal storage.

The plastic composite body measures 94 x 58 x 24 mm and weighs 173g, making it genuinely pocketable. Connectivity includes USB, though no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is present. The NP-BG1 battery is rated for approximately 400 shots per charge.
