"Sony Dropped a Feature"
2.5 starson by giles630Pros: Good Point & Shoot Capability
Cons: No Date/Time Stamp
Summary: This is my second CyberShot Camera (P8 now W50). I am disappointed that Sony dropped the Date/Time Stamp feature. Sony said, "The Sony DSC-W50 camera, in addition to other 2006 Cyber-shot camera models, does not have the superimpose function to display the date and time on the image. However, the date and time can be printed on the image from a computer using the bundled software or by connecting the camera to a printer with PictBridge technology." The scenario is... After a long day at work, after picking up the baby from the sitter's, making dinner, seeing him crawl over to the coffee table, pull himself up, scream for my attention, then smile when he sees me look... is a Life-event for a 9 month old that I would easily document with my Sony Point and shoot. Now hold everything, connect to the PictBridge technology to upload and document the picture, but... you don't... because you remember shelling out the extra funds for the 1GB Memory Stick Duo to save time. If the Date&Time Stamp feature is important, this camera doesn't have it.

I'm agree with you, this feature should be option. You said from some software you can put date and time on foto can you please tell me the software name.

i completely understand how you feel - i really wish that sony would have left the date stamp as an OPTION - obviously, the other people who responded to your comment don't take hundreds of pictures of their kids and then need to remeber the date later upon printing and compiling albums - you are not ignoring your kids
i am looking for software now to add the date once the pics are on the computer - the EXIF will help in the process - rcgsunshine -
Frist off why is the kid crawling across the coffee table? Sounds a little bit dangerous to me. Next, the time and date crap doesn't matter. Any normal person would tell you how annoying the little time and date garbage in the bottom of the picture is just a nuscence. And finally, quit ignoring your kid, they don't grow like plants on water and sun light alone, they need alot of attention.

a simple time and date stamp does not make this any less of a great camera. who doesn't have a watch or a cell phone

Does the date/time show up once you put your memory stick in your computer? I thought all memory sticks did that once you inserted it into your camera.
