Camera Overview — Sony DSC-W330

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and aimed squarely at casual photographers who prioritize portability and simplicity. The camera produces images at a maximum resolution of 4320x3240 pixels and offers four color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Sepia, and Black & White — giving shooters basic creative options without any complexity. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, providing some flexibility across different lighting conditions.

A 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,400 dots serves as the sole framing and review tool, as no optical or electronic viewfinder is included. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 9 focus points and face detection AF. Digital image stabilization is on board, though there is no optical or in-body IS system.

Video tops out at 720p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color. Storage is versatile, supporting SD, SDHC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO Duo, and internal storage. Connectivity is limited to USB, with no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB-C.

The plastic body measures 96 x 57 x 17 mm and weighs just 128g, making it genuinely pocketable. The NP-BN1 lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 230 shots per charge.
