Looks like another winner from Sony.

“Featuring an impressive 8.1-megapixel CCD, 3x optical zoom lens, and a well-designed user interface, the Cyber-shot W100 offers quite a bit in its small package. Novices and advanced amateurs alike will appreciate its offering of both point-and-snap automatic and full manual exposure control, and its six pre-programmed scene modes help with more tricky subjects. The large, bright 2.5-inch color LCD monitor is excellent for framing and reviewing shots, and the overall design and layout of the W100 is user-friendly and hassle-free. Dimensionally it’s not too small and not too big, not too slim or too fat. Its size allows for both an optical viewfinder and a big LCD, as well as a good fit in the hand and pocket. We were particularly impressed with the printed output from the W100, which included enlargements up to 13×19 with decent quality, and 8×10 prints at ISO 800. Performance at ISO 400 is now quite good by comparison, with output at 11×14 looking like yesterday’s 8×10s at this size. If you’re looking for a good “take anywhere” camera with great versatility and good color and tonality, the Sony W100 deserves a close look — especially considering its high resolution CCD and low price point. The Sony W100 is a clear Dave’s Pick.”

Imaging Resource loves the W100 in their recent review of the W100.

The Sony Cyber-shot W100 is an ideal digital camera for starting out right in digital photography, combining the quality of 8.1 megapixels and Carl Zeiss 3X optical zoom, the performance of High Sensitivity mode for great low-light shots, the simplicity of on-screen Function Guide for easy setup, and the convenience of 64 MB Internal Memory for snapping images in-camera.

Over all it is highly recommended. There is no clear winner out there for the ultra compacts or compacts. So, its not the end all, be all of camera’s. But until then it will make any photographer or novice happy.
