Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with Sony's BIONZ image processor. It covers an ISO range of 80 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

For focusing, it uses a contrast detection system with face detection AF and subject tracking across 9 focus points. On the back, a 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review tool — there is no viewfinder. The DSC-W830 shoots stills at a maximum resolution of 5152x3864 pixels and supports color profiles including Standard, Vivid, Sepia, and Black & White.

Video tops out at 1080p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color. The built-in flash offers Auto, Flash On, Slow Synchro, and Flash Off modes. Storage options include SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.

Connectivity is handled via USB. The plastic body measures 93 x 52 x 23 mm and weighs just 122g, making it genuinely pocketable. Battery is the NP-BN, rated for approximately 210 shots per charge (CIPA standard).

There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
