Thank you! It has about 4-5 hours of battery life. The photo quality is really good with the pictures coming out very nice with the camera of course having 20 mp. The audio, and video quality don't do well though, with the camera always refocusing. The auto focus is terrible basically.
Sony DSCW830 20.1 MP Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver)... First things first, we were looking for a simple point and justu.faith/SonyDSCW830 shoot that was compact and easily placed in a purse. This definitely fit the bill.
Hey Bro, great review! You taught this old dog a lot of new tricks but I doubt whether I can remember them all I didn't know that little camera could do so much I guess I better get to reading that little book and studying it only thing I know to do is push the button take a picture but you showed me it's a whole lot of other stuff I can do with it. You should be a Salesman for that company you got a good radio voice and I bet you would make a good one! Take care,stay well!
Hey man, thank you for making this review! It helped me a lot, i was looking for a gift for my wife and now i know what to give her. Greetings from Brazil!
+Edder Moran I set it up on my tripod, take the pictures, then I take the memory card out and put the pictures on my computer, then from my computer I put them on my phone, and I edit them in a great app called Stop Motion Movie Maker. They are all on my channel if you want to check them out, but the earlier ones were shot on my phone.
Hi, this is a very useful video! Do you reckon is a good camera for video/instrument (guitar, bass, cajon) recording ? Does it record a good sound? otherwise whatelse would you suggest ?
I realize this is old but I found the W800/s model was still being sold on Amazon and 20.1 mp at $80-something sounds good, wondered how it did overall, wanting a camera for car videos etc and recording subs and sound system video as I've found a lot of camera and phone mics are just tinny
Hey iandroid chris!! Great video, I'm wondering if I was to shoot video on this Sony camera could I put the sd card into my Samsung galaxy s4 and upload it to youtube? ? I bought a fuji xp85 and for some reason I can see the picks on the micro SD when it's in my phone but won't allow me to view videos that the camera shot
+Rob's fishing and outdoors First off, thanks for watching! If you have an sd card adapter you could use that, then put the micro sd card into the Galaxy S4. Now for your fuji xp85, I really don't know what the problem could be but, it might just be a different format that the phone isn't use to, or compatible with.
I'm think the fuji is a compatibility issue from what I've researched. I do have a adapter for the micro SD card. Do you know first hand if the video shot with the Sony would be compatible with the Samsung s4? Also Thank you for the quick response
+Rob's fishing and outdoors Yes, I'm pretty sure it would be compatible, and if not you might be able to download an app. A matter a fact you might be able to do the same thing with your Fuji. By downloading an app from the app store that can make the video format compatible.
Thanks already tried that with fuji even contacted the fujiguys here on TH-cam. Ended up returning the camera gonna do some research. I really don't need anything fancy gonna see what I can find in the $100 range
Hi! I have this camera and I got it to start my TH-cam channel but the only problem is, when I try to upload videos it's never in fullscreen. It's always in widescreen. How do I fix this? I'm not that great with it sadly.
Try using video editing tools like Vegas pro, and change it to fullscreen. If you want a free tool, heck try windows movie maker lol, then change it to fullscreen.
i want a camera mostly for photos about $100 and i am thinking about this one. I am not a prefesional of something so i want something simple. I also have a Canon powershot G5 which my dad gave me and it's old and i don't really know how to use it. Do you think i should buy this one
I dont know if I should get this camera, or the W830 which has the Carl Zeiss lens, the camera I am using at the moment is a Canon SD1300IS 12.1 mp standard def camera.
I forgot to ask this, Becuase I am going to buy one ... can you manual change the exposure control on W800 ... example, adjusting, darkening or lighting the image manually before taking a pic
I want to record a video while on the road. I have a suction cup camera holder for the windshield, so the camera is going to be upside down. Will the video stay upright?
When recording a Video with the W800, Are you able to Pause the Recording, then Continue video recording to the Last Paused scene. Or does it not have a pause Button. and when you stop or pause the video recording. It Saves the Video clip 1 and When you continue. It will save a new video on Video Clips 2 ? Pls reply
+Ari Howell To get rid of the blur you can gently tap the camera button to refocus, or you can turn off the intelligent auto in settings. For the purple streaks/lines, I have that problem too.
Hi there, :) Does it have Manual Focus on Video mode. Or Just Autofocus ? How does it focus on Video Mode. ? Does it have a Square thing on it where you move it to focus on an object inside the square ?
+iAndroid Chris Thanks for the reply :) 1) So there is a little square box that you point to an object you want to focus on Video Mode ? 2) Does it have an Aperture Setting where you control the Bokeh/Blur of Pictures or Video scenes ? Thanks for the reply :)
+Reviewer Max 1) Yeah, if you softly click on the button at the top it will focus( this is not during video though, but when taking s picture) 2) Yes there is an aperture setting in the menu.
Having a still camera to video is not my idea of a camera I wouldn't use a camera any camera that has video on it aswell as still photography. The amount of data you lose from your memory card can be HORRENDOUS!!!! ESPECIALLY!!! if it's that 4K format. Personally I use a separate camera for video & a decent SLR for my still photography. But, if that what people want to is waste space on memory cards even a large memory card i.e 32 or some cameras may take larger 64 or higher. Not many though. Though a 4K camera may have great video quality it is EXTREMELY HEAVY!!! going on the data card Uses it up very quickly (i.e a 128 can be used up in LESS than 30mmins in 4K Whilst in HD or 720 it can last a WHOLE LOT LONGER!!! It just depends on the individual as to how picky they are about their video quality. As for this camera low lighting is not a issue a inconvenience maybe but, it's stil photography is it's main objective & priority ( I would say. ) TOTALLY FORGET!!!! worrying about the video side of it ( USE! a separate camcorder for video instead) & just make sure your stills are upto the the expectations you require from the camera.
+iAndroid Chris its not really about the picture sorry its more of the video. it does not 720 it looks really Grainy. I try to record with the flash but I cant seem to make it work
Yeaaah, that's a problem I even had trouble with. You've probably already tried Intelligent Auto setting already. Try increasing the exposure in OEV in settings.
I can't believe this video made it to 5,000 views! Thank you!
+iAndroid Chris Dude it's almost 25K Good Job!
Thank you!
+iAndroid Chris It is now 26K. Great job!
+iAndroid Chris How is this camera's quality overall? I need info about battery life, photo quality, audio quality, video quality. Thanks! :)
Thank you! It has about 4-5 hours of battery life. The photo quality is really good with the pictures coming out very nice with the camera of course having 20 mp. The audio, and video quality don't do well though, with the camera always refocusing. The auto focus is terrible basically.
This was actually a great video on explaining how good the camera was! Thanks you
Thank you for the review! You've helped me decide.

Nice review! Quick Question: What sd card do you recommend buying for this camera or does it come with one?
tyiana very late but Sandisk
mine keeps going in and out of focus when I film, I have no clue what to do to fix it and it is lowering the quality of my audio and video!
iAndroid Chris:subs:404
error 404 subs not found
+iAndroid Chris Good video and what micro SD card supports this camera and what's the highest capacity

I'm Getting This For Christmas
this helped me so much!
hey, maybe you can help me with the setting on focus ?every time I'm making a picture, I notice it's not focusing so the pics come out blurry...
what's the cheapest you can get it for (ive searched and all I can see is £80.00)can you get it cheaper???
Is it good for macro/up close shots? Does it regain focus for up close things?
Is there a way to turn off the sounds of the buttons? Thanks!

It seems like your camera had worse quality than the Cyber Shot XD
A Roblox Animator lol you play Roblox
You know the vid is bad when the intro says fucking AudioJungle
Gorfalf 😂😂😂 thanks for watching
@@iandroidchris Yw, Have a great day
I dont know if I should get this camera, or the W830 which has the Carl Zeiss lens, the camera I am using at the moment is a Canon SD1300IS 12.1 mp standard def camera.
+Victoria Paul You should probably get the W830, but if you want something for a cheaper price, this is probably the better camera.
nice work kid! keep up the good work
donniebangout Thanks man👌🏿
Your video quality is amazing! You're kinda like a mini Austin Evans or MKBHD!
Thanks bro!
Great review short & sweet! I have this camera & it takes gorgeous photos. Thanks for the review.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Nice
I forgot to ask this, Becuase I am going to buy one ... can you manual change the exposure control on W800 ... example, adjusting, darkening or lighting the image manually before taking a pic
Yes you can by simply going to menu, then scrolling down to OEV, and it should say exposure compensation. There you can change the exposure.
thanks for the reply sir :)
+Brian Smith No problem
👍...., best part of video 📹... Yeah...lol 😂
✌ & 💖
How good would this be as of now for the price?
late 2017
Thanks friend
I want to record a video while on the road. I have a suction cup camera holder for the windshield, so the camera is going to be upside down. Will the video stay upright?
How much the camera?
how many gb can take the camera with memory card sd?if u can tell me as i want to buy it that camera ,thanks
From 1GB to 32GB
Thanks
Hey, does this camera have a mic jack? I use to use one that would attach to my clothes, so my videos are clearer. Thanks!
No, it doesn't sadly.
What’s the best settings to take pictures?
Is this better than the DSC Wx100?
When recording a Video with the W800, Are you able to Pause the Recording, then Continue video recording to the Last Paused scene. Or does it not have a pause Button. and when you stop or pause the video recording. It Saves the Video clip 1 and When you continue. It will save a new video on Video Clips 2 ? Pls reply
+Reviewer Max It does not have a pause button when recording sadly, and yes it saves the video clip automatically after you stop the recording.
Hey would you recommend it so I can start some cool vlogs would luv your advice
+Benn Whittle As long as you have good lighting you should be good. Sometimes the camera can be grainy but it still works out.
does the flash work on video?
what camera do YOU use?
Would you recommend this camera for Soccer video's while sitting on a tri-pod.
Yes, I would
iAndroid Chris Great thanks.
Why does it blur? and why does that purple line show up during direct light exposure?
+Ari Howell To get rid of the blur you can gently tap the camera button to refocus, or you can turn off the intelligent auto in settings. For the purple streaks/lines, I have that problem too.
Yo chris would you recommend thisc?
If you just want a small camera to to have on the go, most definitely.
Can it pause? Like you know how most youtubers pause their videos and then can go back and repause instead of making more videos?
+Sleepy Duck No, sorry
What memory card does it use?
can this camera flip around ?
is this good for simple vlogs ??
is there a viewfinder that you can flip up to see yourself while vlogging?
+Sophie D No D:
iAndroid Chris thx
Is the lighting on the viewing screen supposed to be so bright? Like compared to my iPhone 6 its so bright! I'm new to photography haha
Calgray you should be able to change the brightness in settings
I like thisss
Does it have a "macro" mode/setting?
should i buy this camera?
Lucy Barclay of course
Anime4 Mii I been seeing you on alot of camera videos I'm watching what camera do you use?
I like it, i might get it.
Would the camera be good for filming for TH-cam?
It can be. Just depends on how you use, and work with it.
Hi there, :) Does it have Manual Focus on Video mode. Or Just Autofocus ? How does it focus on Video Mode. ? Does it have a Square thing on it where you move it to focus on an object inside the square ?
No, it only has autofocus sadly, but the autofocus doesn't cause any problems with the videos besides refocusing.
+iAndroid Chris Thanks for the reply :)
1) So there is a little square box that you point to an object you want to focus on Video Mode ?
2) Does it have an Aperture Setting where you control the Bokeh/Blur of Pictures or Video scenes ?

How can i send a video from this camera my smartphone
how about the mic?
Thanks Chris, I just bought this camera, and I love it!!
+Brian Whitworth You're welcome, thanks for watching!
How's the sound quality on the camera?
It's pretty low, and a little muffled, but it will do.
not good it lacks sharpness and clarity
When I move around with the camera it always make a noise when it focuses how do I stop it
You can't, l that's the camera technology moving.
what are the best settings for outside photos? if you can please help me I would appreciate it A LOT
+RandomWorld ! What type of outside scene setting are you trying to shoot?
+iAndroid Chris its not really about the picture sorry its more of the video. it does not 720 it looks really Grainy. I try to record with the flash but I cant seem to make it work
Yeaaah, that's a problem I even had trouble with. You've probably already tried Intelligent Auto setting already. Try increasing the exposure in OEV in settings.
+iAndroid Chris kk thanks bro.
No problem.
I need a camera for under £100 that is ideal for capturing food images. Please someone recommend.
is it good with starting youtube videos?
+Lovatic may Yes, it really is. As long as you have good lighting you should be fine.
iAndroid Chris thank you ! I think i will purchase this soon :)
Just one question,how do I turn on the panoramic photo thing? I can't find it :S
1. Menu
2. Still Image Shooting
