After the tragic death of my beloved camera phone, my new best friend, Sony’s Cybershot W530, traveled with me through Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. I probably could have been more impressed with the zoom and panorama mode, but wide (and I mean: w—i—d—e) shots and macros turned out contrasty, colorful and beautifully crisp. This is absolutely, totally, one billion percent the best point-and-shoot I ever owned!
Carl Zeiss forever!
