The Sony Cybershot series has gained quite a bit of acclaim, and the newest installment:  the DSC-WX10.  The latest mid-range unit doesn’t give you the incredible zoom capabilities of other releases in the series, however that’s not to say that you won’t get incredible shots with the 7x optical zoom offered with the WX10.

Owners will quickly learn how easy the device is to handle.  Compact and light, the DSC-WX10 offers a beautiful Sweep Panorama mode, crisp videos, and of course, the ability to shoot in 3D.  Those with a 3D-ready TV can enjoy the 3D playback of the day’s videos, all shot in incredible HD.  It’s obvious that Sony is stepping up their game, as this may be the most loaded mid-range compact we’ve seen to date.

Auto modes give you quite a bit of flexibility when looking for that perfect shot.  You can take several images and combine them into a single shot that takes the best attributes of each individual take.  The options when combing through the AUTO arena can be a bit confusing at first, but with a bit of tinkering, you’ll be a pro in no time.

The LCD viewing screen is a 2.8-inch window that offered great visibility even when we used it in bright settings.  There’s wasn’t much need for cupping or shading in order to see what we were snapping.  With all of these features, expect this compact to become very popular with those looking to combine convenience and capability in a camera.
