Hot shots

The CX7300 is a 3.2 mega pixel camera-extremely simple to use for someone who does not know the ABCs of photogra phy. The ca mera is comfortable to hold­shaped like the Sony Cybershot series with the left panel curved to allow your hand to grip it better. All the buttons are within thumb’s reach. As far as scene presets go, there are only two-the Auto and the Night Scene mode. Movie Mode is the tandard motion-capturing mode.

Then there is the ‘dedicated’ delete button! It’s your job to figure out how well this assists a user-we didn’t. Unfortunately, there is no Video-Out connection on the ca mera, only a USB port provided for image transfer. It supports SD and MMC storage cards in addition to its 16 MB storage space. Maximum resolution offered is 2096×1560, though this is merely depicted as three stars and labelled ‘best’ according to the camera.

Another dedicated button, Flash, allows you to turn off or enable Red-Eye Reduction. There is no Macro mode but it wouldn’t be useful since there is no optical zoom. The test photographs taken were very average. The camera picked up certain details like text on batteries but anything smaller was blurry. Details on the motherboard and specular highlights were average.

For: It is an ergonomic camera with very easy-to-use functions such as flash, which are all explained on the LCD display. It offers up to 16 MB internal memory. Against: There are no additional settings to play around with-very few scene presets. There is no Video-Out.
