What differentiates the affordable DSC-W230 from its competitors is its inclusion of an iSCN (Intelligent Scene Recognition) feature that detects up to five scene conditions. Plus, the DSC-W230 sports face detection with child/adult priority and an Optical SteadyShot image stabilizer for reduced blurring. In addition to rendering top-quality images, the DSC-W230 records movies at 640x480 (30fps) with a regular MPEG codec. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 retails for $199.95 and comes with a 90 day limited warranty.
