Our Olympus digital camera broke down less than a month after its warranty expired. Would you believe that? ha! It is a bad testimony for Olympus cameras. But I am not bad mouthing them. I guess, for what it was worth, it did serve me well.
Anyway, my brother got me a Sony Cybershot W330 from the US. We had been eyeing that online for several weeks and then when Mother’s Day 2010 came, the red Sony W330 became on sale. It came with a 2GB memory stick and a really nice red case. Eventually however, when it got to me here in Bacolod City, somehow, the case got lost.
But anyway, regarding the camera. It is lightweight and at first, I found myself getting clumsy handling it. I kinda feel awkward handling such a light camera. Eventually however I cozied up to it. One thing that I like about it is that it has a powerful flash that takes great pixes even at low light. The pixes will come out a bit grainy when blown up really big, but for my purposes, they are okay. Then it has a setting that allows the flash to illuminate objects in the background and make them brighter, without “burning” or “washing” the image in front. The details are all very clear. This is possible, however, as long as the subject is still.
We are still studying the nighttime settings, though, as we couldn’t seem to perfect it. But as long as everything is lighted, indoors or outdoors, daytime or nighttime, this cam can really take great pictures. And guess what? It only cost us around P7500 including case and memory stick. It is a good deal, considering that I got my Olympus for P10,000.
There are four colors available and I have the red one. I really like it. 
And oh, this camera takes great homemade videos too. My Olympus only took VGA quality photos and they are really dark and grainy. But I really like the videos of the Sony W330. Not professional or HD, but just enough for its price and for us to have some good quality memories on video and on print.
