The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W530 Black, Silver, Pink, Green or Blue, a digital camera that will suit whatever your favorite colour, is in the 2011 lineup of Cybershots for those looking for something compact. The W series consist of the W510 entry model, the W520, W530, W570 and 2 higher end models the WX7 and WX10 so if you are looking for a Sony compact the difficulty is knowing which one to go for.

Aside from the WX range, the 3 models offer very similar features, all have the Sony CCD sensors to make best possible use of any lighting conditions for crystal sharp detail and vibrant colours, even in low light conditions. The W510 and W530 have a 4 X optical zoom compared to the 5 X W520 and W570 through which 12.1, 14.1 and 14.1, 16.1 megapixel images can be recorded respectively. All of these cameras have benefited in the Sony LCD panel design being 2.7 inches and 230K resolution for easy viewing of images and video and to frame all your shots. All models have VGA movie recording, the Sony Face Detection software to bring out portrait detail against the background, the Sweep Panorama (no need for the pic stitch) and other up to date features.

The Sony W530’s biggest difference from the W510 and W520 is the lens, the W530 has the superior Carl Zeiss optics bringing more detail and depth to photos, whereas the other 2 models have the Sony Lens. The W530 is designed for those who seek to capture that spontaneous moment, for those on the move, it is small, light and performs in all conditions. Look for the W530 specifications, compare with its stable mates and choose which is for you and your budget.
