 I like this camera Nov 07, 2009
I bought this item recently and I really like it. Everything works fine, the only issue is that when you use the optical zoom to its maximum you feel like the picture is grained (not the expected quality). In fact, beyond 3x optical zooming quality is compromised.
Also take care that you will have to buy a special card, Pro Duo Mark 2 but this is not a big deal.
All in all I do like and recommend it, it is a great purchase for the price.
 Small, lightweight, stylish, well made and shoots a great picture Oct 14, 2009
This camera shoots an awesome picture and it's small, stylish and lightweight. It seems to be made very well and I have no complaints about it whatsoever. We have used this camera for about six months now and I don't think it has ever taken a bad picture. It will take a great picture and it will also record video with sound. It has all the bells and whistles like red eye reduction, still shot and special effects. I think it's well worth the money.

Perfect Pocket Camera Sep 22, 2009
We have had several of this model camera and all have performed well. However, the newer Sony models do not have a viewfinder which means that photographers can't see in bright light. It seems that after this camera, we will need to purchase a Canon.
 At least it was CHEAP Sep 05, 2009
We wanted a simple point and shoot camera to get snaps of the grandkids. It had to be easy to operate, we don't have time to be messing with menus and adjustments. I have an old Fuji 2600, an 8-year old 2MP camera, that has done a good job, but lately has been showing its age.
I read a few professional reviews that said the DSC-W120 had better-than-average shutter lag for a pocket camera. With that, and a good price, we bought the Sony, and we've used it for about 10 months.
When operating indoors using the flash, the camera is way slow, even with the red-eye OFF, the flash set to always ON, and the camera pre-focused (shutter button pressed halfway). There is still a long delay before the image is captured. By that time the subject has moved or the expression is gone.
I've read other reviews where they use the burst mode to overcome this problem, but that doesn't work for flash photography.
The W120 has better low-light performance than my Fuji, but only because of the ability to push the ISO setting and the AF-assist light. But the Sony is no better for indoor pictures, unless the subject is still.
The Sony has many more bells and whistles, some of which work. The face recognition works. The smile detection works only occasionally.
Outdoors, the camera performs pretty well, as expected with a 7.2MP imaging chip. But I was still disappointed with the speed, as it was little or no improvement over my old camera.
In summary:
Pros:
-Inexpensive
-Lots of controls for those who need them
-Good for still portraits
-Battery life, good for more than 100 shots with about 50% using flash
Cons:
-Very slow shutter lag when used with flash
Overall, this camera has been disappointing. Even with all of the features, the slow shutter lag is a real show-stopper. With so many advances in the technology, there must be a point & shoot that is faster than this.
