Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W370

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W370 is a slim point-and-shoot camera equipped with a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor and a 7x optical zoom lens. Covering a 34-238mm equivalent focal range, it offers a useful reach for its size. The camera features a 3.0-inch LCD screen, 720p video recording, and Sony's iAuto mode for simplified operation. It is best suited for casual day-to-day photography where portability and ease of use are the primary requirements. Prospective buyers should examine the W370 for any dust ingress behind the lens elements or on the sensor, which can be visible in shots of plain surfaces. The proprietary multi-connector port should be checked for physical damage. SDS testing includes a full inspection of the AF system, verification of the zoom motor's health, and an assessment of the battery life to ensure the lithium-ion cell still holds a functional charge.
