Cybershot WX10 by Dr.-Bojan-TunguzThe 16-megapixel sensor will allow you to capture images that will be easy to view even on the largest monitors.
Cybershot WX10 by Ripley44224 (Jan, 2012)In IA+, the WX10 selects a scene mode if it needs to, rat-atat's off 4 or 5 exposures if it needs to, and figures out HDR, backlight, portrait, moving subject (the list goes on), and sets shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and HDR functions as appropriate.

Cybershot WX10 by Jesse-BaynardNo RAW mode, not that it would get you that much more since the chip on this produces great JPEGs.
wide angle lens
Cybershot WX10 by MRo (Aug, 2011)The wide angle lens let me get my entire living room and most of my kitchen in one shot.

Cybershot WX10 by John-Smith (Aug, 2011)Don't take me wrong, I love iSweep Panorama but it would have been great if the camera allowed that I shoot at a zoomed-in composition.

Performance Real world tests of Sony Cybershot WX10
max continuous shooting
Cybershot WX10 by Ripley44224 (Jan, 2012)You can't turn off the pic review, so about 2 sec from pic to pic, but you can enable 10 or 2 fps burst mode- impressive.
Cybershot WX10 by maxmasa31--maxmasa31I felt like camera focused very quickly and the 10 shots-per-second burst felt impressive, particularly when compared to the 2.5 fps of my Panasonic LX5.

Lens
Sony Cybershot WX10 | Rated 100% by by Jesse-Baynard* The zoom is great to have outside during the day, but for all other times you'll get better results if you just get closer with your feet and take advantage of this lens' great f/2.4 aperture.

Sony Cybershot WX10 | Rated 80% by by Kristi--all-my-facts-come-from-fictionI understand one can only do so much in a small package and that this much zoom would have been unthinkable 10 years ago, but I look forward to the time when we have LOTS of zoom in small packages because I am never as close as I think I am!
