Design and Build Quality
The size of the W570 is the feature, which appealed to us the most. It is merely the length of a business card and can fit easily in any pocket or purse. The depth of the camera measures at 19.1mm making it really thin as well. Apart from its compact form factor, it is extremely stylish, too. The lens located at the front flushes against the body ensuring that it retains its slim profile. Besides the lens, the front of the camera features an LED flash and an AF assist.
The 2.7-inch screen is located at the back of the camera and besides it are the camera’s controls. The controls at the back comprise of a circular 4-way navigational pad, playback button, an option for the camera's menu, erase button and buttons for wide angle and telephoto. Sony has added a slider button at the back, which allows one to navigate between camera options such as photo, panorama and video recording. Besides the slider, all keys found on the camera have a silver finish. This adds to the stylishness of the camera.
Features
For a camera priced at this amount, it has quite a decent list of features. The camera features a 16.1 megapixel CCD sensor with Sony’s BIONZ processor. By featuring this processor, Sony claims that during image capture there will result in less image noise. This is a good feature and would be extremely useful during indoor photography. Sony has fitted a 5x optical zoom on this camera and one can shoot images well from a relatively far distance with reduced amount of blur because of Sony’s Optical SteadyShot feature.
The interface of the camera is pretty simple and there is no dedicated screen displaying the option. Instead, there is a bar that lines up the side of the screen, which overlays the scene. There is a dedicated screen, though for the help section, which displays an onscreen guide. The W570 can record videos in 720p allowing one to capture videos in high definition. The ability to capture videos at this resolution is pretty good for a camera that sells at this price. One can also shoot in a panorama mode on this camera by merely moving the slider to this mode, clicking the shutter release button and panning the camera to the direction of the arrow onscreen.
