Sony W5 Lens in a W17 Body
Saturday 30th July 2011 21:46pm
I had a Sony W17 point and shoot camera (Camera#1), which died due to a crushed screen. I figured it couldn't be too hard to pull apart and replace the screen, so went about searching eBay for somebody else's broken W5/7/17 that I could harvest the (hopefully working) screen from. The first was a W17 (Camera#2), which had a broken lens. I immediately destroyed the screen by snapping the little orange cable coming off the screen of as I was dismantling it. So I kept the bits and bought another, this time a W5 (Camera#3). I managed to transfer the screen from the W5 into my original W17 (they're exactly the same part).

Halfway through, I realised it was only half of the screen that was made useless by the broken cable, and this W5 had a working lens. So I went about putting all of the pieces together into the body and main board of Camera#2. Take a look for yourself what the pictures come out like when you put a 5 megapixels lens into a camera with a main board expecting to see 7 megapixels!

Amazing :D
