Our comment:
With such a powerful 13.9 megapixels in a slim body, Sony may have a winner in the DSC-W300. Consumers today have this misconception that the higher the megapixels, the better the resolution of the camera output will be. So, this has become one of the major consideration of buyers when considering what camera to buy. Still, its too early to tell, and we would like to see more reviews coming from those who actually buy the camera.
