Customer Reviews for Sony - DSC-W830 20.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Silver

I have been using this camera for school, design work and for family outings. It performs well and has many modes to suit conditions or can be fully auto. I found the lack of a built in grip on the body to be problematic because the camera is very small, but a grip can be added on that fits many sony camera models. Much improved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No good with CCD sensor
on June 12, 2020

Never a good camera with CCD sensor even with zeiss lens. Take blurry pictures. Same quality but much cheaper on a Kodak FZ53. Kodak reigns on this sector. The only thing Sony could remind me is the invasion of Pearl Harbor by Japanese empire.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My brother bought the Sony camera for me. It's a good camera but not perfect. You can use your Sony Camera to upload photos on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. You can upload videos on Facebook and YouTube but I'm disappointed I couldn't use my Sony camera to upload videos at Twitter. I could only use my Sony camera to upload photos at Twitter. If you can use your Sony camera to upload photos at Facebook and Twitter than I'm sure it works fine for Instagram too but I wouldn't know! I also don't like the fact that I need to have Play Memories to upload photos and videos into my computer. I can't upload photos and videos into my computer without using Play Memories, so I think my Sony camera is a good camera but it's not perfect, so I'm giving Sony at three!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't buy this!

Camera got a little wet after only a month old and company refused to replace it. The water should not have ruined the camera...poor quality and I'll never buy Sony products again. What a waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Rlynnpowell,
We're sorry to hear that it didn't meet with your expectations. Thanks for your comment though, we appreciate it. Just added info on the camera, it is not waterproof, dustproof or scratchproof.

After taking about a dozen photos it developed a "cloud" in the lens and it shows up as a white halo in photographs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
