The W810 is the W800's close sibling, sharing the same 20.1-megapixel CCD sensor but stretching the zoom out to 6x, reaching 156mm equivalent rather than the W800's 130mm — a meaningful difference for anyone wanting a bit more reach for portraits and details from a distance. Colour and noise character track closely with the W800: clean, cool CCD rendering in daylight, with grain becoming noticeable past ISO 200 given the demanding pixel density on this small a sensor. The extra zoom reach doesn't come with a faster aperture, so low-light telephoto shots need either good light or a steady hand aided by SteadyShot. Party Mode is a small but telling addition — an automatic setting tuned for flash-lit indoor gatherings, optimising exposure and colour balance specifically for exactly the kind of casual social photography this camera was built for. Released in the same 2014 wave as the W800, the W810 represents Sony's final, most fully specified iteration of this long-running budget CCD line before the format was retired industry-wide. For anyone wanting the longest zoom reach available from Sony's late-era CCD compacts, this is it.
