Hi guys,
Now that I got my hands on a W300, I can say that it's really quite a great little camera.
Looks:
The titanium coating and the glossy bezel give it an immensely classy look. The main body is pretty resistant to fingerprints, but the glossy bezel and glossy seam merging the front and back of the casing are fingerprint magnets. Well worth polishing though, it's a good-looking cam.
The back of the camera is dominated by the really big, very sharp screen. The rest of the controls are laid out in a normal Cybershot way, but more on those in the next paragraph.
Controls:
The camera is very very responsive and in general the controls are laid out really logically. My only gripe is that the function settings wheel is a bit small, but not any smaller than the competition so I can't really say it's a fault. Maybe just used to the A700 controls. :)
Performance:
From what I can tell so far, it's a very very fast, snappy camera. Boot-up time is fast, shutter lag is very fast. For ISO performance of the 1/7 sensor I'll post sample pics later on. :)
