Professional Reviews

3.4 out of 5

Picture quality suited mainly to e-mailing and making a few small prints to pass around or stick on the fridge (CNET - 11/19/03)

These professional reviewers enjoyed the Sony CyberShot U50's rotating lens and ultra compact body. Though it has more manual controls than the Sony U30, its image quality is low for a 2-megapixel camera. read original review

2.5 out of 5

The U50 is ultra-compact, small enough to shove into a hip pocket and go (DC Resource - 11/19/03)

3 out of 5

We like the DSC-U50 because of its size, not its photographic capabilities (PC World - 11/19/03)

The Sony CyberShot DSC-U50 looks great, and has an innovative swiveling lens that is both functional and fun. Unfortunately its image quality is unimpressive. read original review
