Description — Sony DSC-W210
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W210 is a compact point-and-shoot built for straightforward everyday photography. At its core is a 12MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, processed through Sony's BIONZ image processor. The camera's ISO 100–3200 range gives it adaptability across different lighting situations, while Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) works to minimize the effects of hand movement during shooting.
Autofocus uses a contrast detection system with 9 focus points for reliable subject locking. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,400 dots resolution serves as both the framing and review screen. Five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia — allow for in-camera creative choices.
The built-in flash supports five modes including Auto, Forced, Slow Sync, No Flash, and Red-eye Reduction. Storage options include Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO Duo, and internal storage. The NP-BG1 Lithium-Ion battery delivers roughly 430 shots per charge.
The plastic composite body measures 95 x 57 x 22 mm and weighs 146g, making the DSC-W210 one of the more portable options for casual photographers.
