Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 is a late one, and that makes it interesting. By 2014 almost everyone had moved to CMOS, but Sony kept a 20.1 megapixel Super HAD CCD in this model — so you get the CCD colour rendering the digicam revival is chasing, at a resolution the older cameras can't touch, in a body that weighs 122g. The lens starts at a usefully wide 25mm and runs to 200mm, with optical SteadyShot behind it.

Near mint and fully working. This is the highest-resolution CCD camera we have and one of the last Sony made — a 2014 build with a 2007 sensor philosophy, which is an unusual and rather useful combination. Small enough to forget in a pocket. Takes ordinary SD cards; a card is not included.
