As well as being compared against other ultra compacts, the Sony CyberShot DSC-W800 is also often compared to travel zooms, super zooms, compacts and digicams. The Sony CyberShot DSC-W800's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot ELPH 180 and the PowerShot ELPH 190 IS) and Sony (such as the Cyber-shot DSC-W830 and the Cybershot DSC-W650)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to other ultra compact competitors include: it has a slightly wider wide angle lens (26 mm vs 28 mm), is newer (february 2014 vs february 2011) and is significantly less expensive ($88.00 vs $569.48).
However, on average it has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 1,229k dots), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), doesn't have an OLED screen (LCD vs OLED) and is thicker (2.1" vs 0.6").
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to travel zoom competitors include: it is slightly smaller (ultra compact (50×22×54 mm) vs compact (100×58×23 mm)) and is slightly less expensive ($88.00 vs $832.42).
However, on average it has way more less zoom (5x vs 12x), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is older (february 2014 vs january 2016), is thicker (2.1" vs 0.9") and has a slower max shutter speed (1/1500 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to super zoom competitors include: it has a much wider wide angle lens (26 mm vs 36 mm), is slightly smaller (ultra compact (50×22×54 mm) vs professional size (123×87×116 mm)), is newer (february 2014 vs june 2007), is thinner (2.1" vs 4.6") and is slightly lighter (125 g vs 670 g).
However, on average it doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 480 fps), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS) and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs digital).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to compact competitors include: it has a slightly wider wide angle lens (26 mm vs 28 mm), is slightly smaller (ultra compact (50×22×54 mm) vs compact (99×60×28 mm)), has better image stabilization (lens vs digital), is newer (february 2014 vs january 2010) and is slightly lighter (125 g vs 198 g).
However, on average it has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is thicker (2.1" vs 0.9"), doesn't have a built-in GPS, doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel) and slightly shorter exposures (2 seconds vs 15 seconds).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to digicam competitors include: it has a much wider wide angle lens (26 mm vs 30 mm), has better image stabilization (lens vs digital) and takes slightly higher resolution photos (9.7 MP vs 5.7 MP).
However, on average it has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is older (february 2014 vs august 2016) and has a slower max shutter speed (1/1500 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
