I just bought this camera this week. As a first time owner of a quality Digital Camera I'm more than pleased. I debated over the Canon A95 and Sony W series. Happy with my decision.

Cons: nothing

My new Sony DSC-W5 is awesome. There is so much you can do with it. I love all the features.

Pros: Awesome picture quality Very easy to use Awesome batt life Super fast start up
Cons: Sometimes the "shakey" icon comes on even when using tripod Flash no grunty enough

Owned the cam for about 3 weeks now, actually swapped for this over the ixus50 as there was too mch noise. very happy with cam. saturation and contrast is awesome and outdoor shots are amazing. I love the options to increase sharpness, saturation and contrast. I find that the manual mode is limited with only 2 aptre settings to choose from but in contrast a variety of shutter speeds.
