For a while, there was something about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC WX7 that we couldn’t quite put our finger on. However, now we know what it is. Look at it – at first glance it’s juat a simple, grey rectangle that would be a perfect companion for the happy snapper. But then look more closely at the specification: 16.2 million pixels sat in front of Sony’s prestigious Exmor R CMOS sensor, AVCHD Full HD video, Carl Zeiss lens, 3D sweep panorama, stereo sound, background defocus and multi shot layering. That feature-set is more at home in a prosumer model costing upwards of $600. However, at around $300, the price is tempting but it may be the unusual and advanced features that dissuades you because of their complexity. If that’s the case, we’re going to take a look at them now and hopefully put you at rest. The Sony DSC-WX7 is available in silver or black and costs around $400
