I bought the Sony digicam W80 from UK. The price I paid was GBP 200.00. Still new models are coming in the market. There are no such identical difference in the old models or new models.
The changes might be in color, size or any other extra option.
Sony created the W-series to be its budget line of snapshot cameras. Without the sleek designs of the T-series or the high-powered zoom lenses of the H-series, the W-cameras distinguish themselves only through their modest price tags. Despite their lacklustre features, the W-cameras have proven themselves with solid performance and good image quality.
This trend follows in the Cyber-shot DSC-W80, Sony’s high-end Cyber-shot W-camera. Like all current W-cameras, the W80 might not look like much more than a simple, shiny, blocky camera with a standard 7-megapixel sensor and 3X zoom lens. Once you start shooting, though, the W80 quickly proves itself.
Suggestion to buyers:
If the choice is Sony Digicam or Handycam, make sure to buy with international warranty.
