Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Sony Cybershot W130 - the 8 megapixel camera features a 4x optical zoom lens, a 2.5" screen, BIONZ processor with Smile Shutter and Face Detection, D-Range Optimiser, Very High Sensitivity ISO 3200 for reduced camera shake, Super SteadyShot image stabilisation. The W130 is available for £135:

"Despite some of its shortcomings in areas of lens distortion, color saturation, and noise suppression, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 is indeed a capable little digital camera. For starters, it's small and easy to use, perfect for stashing in a pocket on the way out the door. It has a great selection of useful preset modes and creative shooting tools, and most impressive, it combines its Face Detection technology with a smile detector for an extremely useful Smile Shutter mode, giving you in-focus images of wiggly kids or small groups of people, without resorting to a continuous shooting mode."
