Not for (all) W-Series Cameras - Reviewed on 2008-01-02

6 customers found this review helpful.

I looked at this for my Sony DSC-W80 camera because it is labeled by Amazon as "for the Sony Cybershot W-Series Digital Cameras".

It DOES NOT WORK with the Sony DSC-W80 camera. I suspect it is incompatible with several other cameras in the W-series line as well. So read carefully, and if your camera is not explicitly listed as compatible, ASSUME it is incompatible!

Functional, but not Fantastic - Reviewed on 2007-08-26

This lens adapter does what it says. It allows the attachment of the lens. But it's somewhat cumbersome to use, and the clear plastic is not exactly a match with the camera. But once attached, it is sturdy and holds well, so for a lens adapter for a digital point and shoot, it's not that bad.

There's a Bright Side - Reviewed on 2007-05-22

This little piece of equipment is what it is. Sure, it has the limitations described above, but users of this particular camera have no other choice in the matter. Additional lenses require this adaptor. Period. The fact is, this camera, for a point-and-shoot, takes great pictures. Add the potential for telephoto or wide angle shots, and you've got the best point-and-shoot you've ever seen.

Let's be real here. This is no professional product, and isn't intended to be so. Complaints aren't really in order, unless you're trying to push this little camera to do what is best left up to an SLR, etc. It is what is.

Problems - Reviewed on 2006-12-26

It will adapt and allow you to put on lens, however the are several very serious problems. First of all it blocks part of the built in flash. Meaning if you use both it will leave a huge shadow across you picture. Sony recommends getting the slave flash, however you may wish to see the reviews of the slave flash before getting it also. Second you can't use the AF illuminator. Also you obviously have to use the LCD screen not the viewfinder. Finally it makes it unsteady on a tripod.
