Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-W5 was introduced at the same time as its higher resolution brother, the DSC-W7. Like the W1 that started this relatively new line, the Sony W5 has a more rangefinder-style than the original Cyber-shots, with a compact size for easy travel. Most of the functions and the 3x zoom lens and small built-in flash are similar to those on the W1, and the camera also offers the same generous 2.5-inch color LCD monitor. It also has an imager about the same size as the original W1, a 5.1-megapixel CCD for capturing high-resolution images. 32 megabytes of internal memory lets the camera hold a few shots without a memory card (between 12 and 16 shots at full resolution), but is really no substitute for a capacious memory card.
