    I have used many Sony products in the past and been very satisfied so when this camera was recommended to me by Dell I felt confident in buying it. Overall the camera did a good job for my needs. I was never entirely pleased with the color of shots taken indoors but it did a great job outside in daylight. I live in Missouri and the humidity levels are high but I have never experienced a problem with electronic devices before. One week before my 1 year warranty expired the camera started displaying a message to turn the camera off and on again to reset it. I contacted Sony and was told to go to the website and follow technical instructions and see if I could reset it. I was unable to accomplish this so I sent it to their repair facility in Laredo TX. I was told the camera had “corroded” and thus the warranty was voided and that it would cost $600 to repair the camera that I paid approximately $250 for brand new! I was shocked!! I spoke to three different representatives of Sony (only one of whom spoke understandable English) and in the end I was told there was nothing else they could do to help me. What a waste of good money on a camera that I expected years of use from! What poor customer service, how on earth can a $250 camera require $600 worth of parts?! The camera must be extremely fragile and sensitive to “corrode” in such a short time, I handled it very carefully and took extremely good care of it. I will never buy a Sony product again.

    I’ve always used small compact digital cameras with the standard 3x optical zoom. I would definitely recommend this camera if your looking to take a step up to better quality more professional pictures.

    If you’ve used digital cameras in the past, then you shouldn’t have any trouble operating this camera.

    Yes, it does have a lens cap attached with a string. At first it was a little annoying, but I got used to it. It protects the lens and stays in place well.

    My favorite parts of the camera are the 10x optical zoom and the fact that it takes pictures very quickly. It’s fast speed is great for taking pictures of children who are constantly on the move.

    It’s not as portable as those compact cameras but is still small enough to carry in a purse or larger pocket.

    I would recommend this camera to anyone who has even a little experience with digital cameras. Its easy to use and takes incredible pictures!

    I have this camera for about 7 months now and have taken about 1000 pictures. I mainly take pictures of my kids & family. I love it.

    Pros : a) Great battery life. b) Great picture quality outside in bright light. Overall very nice crisp clear picture quality. c) Nice zoom which I think has been sufficent for me. d) LCD 3.0 is very pleasing. e) Menu is very easy and navigable.

    Cons: a) Since it uses memory card which is rather unusual , I need adaptor cable to see/copy photos. I wish the card size was little larger. b) Cable location is at the bottom . You have keep camera on lens cap to stay still while copying/watching photos through USb cable. c) Pictures at night in dark may be blury. I had to learn a bit what different modes offered to get better picture quality.

    Overall nice camera. I recommend to buy it.

    Warning: This camera will cause bird and other wildlife spotters to ignore you. The main issue is that they will be walking around with gear that cost them an arm and a leg, trying to make out if that bird on that tree a mile off is really a rare eagle of some sort. You will whip out your compact camera, take a picture, zoom in and identify the common sparrow!

    For its size and prize, this camera is packed full of features, and remarkably easy to use! It’s good for landscapes and incredible for macros. Highly recommended… if you don’t mind being ignored by “twitchers”!
