The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 has an attractive new display; great performance and pictures. The DSC-W80 boasts a newer, prettier interface than the other W-series Cyber-shots. Its features includes image stabilization, a faster image processor, face detection, and component video output. That's on top of its more standard features: a 7.2MP CCD, 3X optical zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, and VGA movie mode. Its system resembles the Playstation Portable's menu system more than any digital camera's.
The Cyber-shot DSC-W80 has built-in memory instead of having a memory card included in the box. The memory has only 31MB that holds just ten photos at the highest quality setting so you'll want to buy a memory card right away. The W80 uses Sony's Memory Stick Pro Duo cards.
One of the W80's unique features is to output HD quality video to your HDTV. You'll need to buy some accessories to do it, though. The cheap option (and I use this term loosely) is to buy the component video cable, which plugs into the bottom of the camera.
The bottom line: With a shiny new interface, fast performance, and great pictures, the DSC-W80 sits on the top of the budget snapshot heap.
