The Sony Cyber-shot W830 is a mid-range point-and-shoot compact with an 8x optical zoom and 20.1 Megapixel CCD sensor. Introduced into the Cyber-shot range at the beginning of 2014, the W830 has a 2.7 inch screen and can shoot 720p HD video.
If you’re looking for a compact that you can comfortably pop in a shirt or jeans pocket and forget about, the Sony W830 won’t disappoint you. It’s very compact, a few millimetres smaller in width and height than the COOLPIX S3600 and a few grams lighter. It’s a little thicker at 22.5mm against 19.9mm for the COOLPIX S3600, but that’s all down to the protruding lens bezel, the Sony W830 body is actually a little thinner. Comparing measurements tells you only so much though, the W830 looks and feels just a bit more compact than the COOLPIX S3600.
