Green arrow Snapsort recommends the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50. This recommendation, however, should be taken with a grain of salt since it doesn't always make sense to compare a ultra compact with a compact.

The WX7 features in comparison are totally wrong!

1. It do take 3D photos.
2. Can create panorama in camera.
3. Has an HDR function built-in.
