SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-W310 Dijital Fotoğraf Makinesi

Bucking the trend for offering compacts in every colour of the rainbow, the Cyber-shot DSC-W310 is available in silver, black or pink. It's quite a masculine no-nonsense looking design (even the pink one) and feels solidly put together. At 95 x 55 x 19mm it's easily pocketable and of almost exactly the same dimensions as the Nikon COOLPIX S3000 and Canon IXUS 105 / SD1300 IS.

In your hands the W310 feels comfortable and secure. Though there isn't a dedicated thumb rest, the layout of the controls on the rear panel provides a natural place for your thumb below the zoom rocker and the movie/still mode switch prevents your thumb sliding off the back. On the front of the camera, the cross-hatched Sony logo provides a natural resting place for your fingers.





Though we prefer big unambiguous shutter buttons, the W310's lozenge-shaped shutter release sits proud of the top panel and there's no mistaking it for anything else. In fact the only other control here is the flush-mounted on/off button.

On the rear panel the four-way control pad has one-touch buttons that are configured slightly differently from the norm. There's no exposure compensation button, you have to go to a menu for that, and the macro focusing button is likewise conspicuous by its absence – the W310 automatically focusses down to 5cm without needing to specifically select macro focusing. So the Flash and Self timer buttons are joined by a smile shutter button which can be used to quickly activate the smile shutter and a DISP button which alters the display brightness and toggles the info overlay.

At the top right edge of the rear panel you'll find a switch that toggles the camera between still image and movie recording. It's a small detail, but a significant one if you like to be able to switch recording modes in an instant, rather than having to navigate your way through a menu by which time you may have lost the moment.

Above the control pad is a small round button for switching to playback mode. Pressing this when the camera is turned off switches it on in playback mode without extending the lens, a useful function which the Canon IXUS 105 / SD1300 IS and Nikon COOLPIX S3000 also provide. At the bottom of the rear panel are two further buttons for accessing the menu system and deleting images.

The tripod bush is centrally located on the bottom panel and to the right of it is a slide and pop door which reveals the battery and card compartment. Like most recent Sony compacts, the W310 accepts SD and SDHC cards in addition to Sony's proprietary Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo formats.

While some recent Sony compacts have employed a proprietary port connector in the base of the camera, the W310 has a combined USB/AV port located under a flap on the right side of the body. Two cables are supplied – a standard USB cable for transferring images to your computer and an A/V cable with composite video and mono audio RCA phono connectors for connection to a TV. As with SD cards, Sony's more recent selection of standard components over its proprietary formats is good news for consumers – if you ever lose these cables they're relatively inexpensive and easy to replace.

The Cyber-shot DSC-W310 has a built-in flash unit with a quoted maximum distance of 3 metres at the wide angle lens setting. It tended to underexpose, or, to put it another way, under-illuminate subjects more than a metre or so from the camera and its illumination dropped of noticeably at the corners of the frame. It was pretty quick to recharge though - the orange charging indicator next to the flash symbol in the LCD panel flashed only momentarily between shots and was ready to go again in around three seconds.

In auto mode the flash fires when there's insufficient natural lighting. In supported modes you can force it to fire or turn it off and there's also a slow synchro mode. The Cyber-shot DSC-W310 has no AF assist lamp to bring in to use as a red-eye prevention mechanism as on the Canon IXUS 105 / SD1300 IS. It does, however, have a physical red-eye reduction system which when activated fires a pre-flash to contract your subject's pupils and reduce the potential for the retinal reflections that cause the problem. There's also a software red-eye correction filter which can be applied at the time of shooting or after you've taken the shot.

On a full charge, the Cyber-shot W310's NP-BN1 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery provides enough power for 220 shots using the CIPA (Camera Imaging Products Association) standard. That's exactly the same as the Nikon COOLPIX S3000 and slightly fewer than the Canon IXUS 105 / SD1300 IS. It's not an Info-Lithium battery, so there's a four-segment power remaining indicator, rather than a readout of the exact time remaining. The battery is charged outside the camera in the supplied AC charger.
