This an average plus camera...Does ok but nothing great like a Canon (2010-02-21)
Sony does everything great except camera shots....I will say to leave it to the big boys like Canon or Nikon....This camera is good but not great...I will comparae it to a low calorie beer which is water down and less tasteful....Get the non calorie beer,trust me.

Very Good Close Up Point and Shoot (2010-02-14)
This Camera is a very very very good point and shoot camera for a beginning photographer or some one who just likes to have fun and take pictures.

Worst point-amd-shoot camera I have ever owned (2010-01-09)
Let me first say that I have taken many photography classes. I have owned many, many cameras. Photography is my hobby. I bought this camera because I thought it was a good deal for an 8.1 megapixel camera. I needed something small to take with me in my bag so that I could capture moments with my 17 month old son.

1. The image quality is not sharp. Many pictures are blurry, with a ghostly effect.
2. When I look at the picture on the LCD screen it looks much better then when I download the picture and look at it on my computer screen.
3. I don't feel the colors are true to life
4. The delay gets worse and worse the more pictures you take (even with a fully charged battery)
5. I am glad there is a video option and I use it often. HOWEVER, the pictures are grainy and dark, even in a well lit room.

Lessons learned: don't just buy a camera for the number of mega-pixels, don't just go for a Sony because your old Sony was great, and finally research the camera better.

Cámara digital (2010-01-04)
Es un artículo muy fino y versátil. Muy útil para fotografías simples, aunque tiene muy buena capacidad, pequeña y fácil de llevar y guardar. Muy buena.

Died after 12 months (2010-01-03)
Got the camera on Christmas day 2008. It stopped working on Christmas day 2009. Warranty period is 1 year - repair cost is $121 plus shipping. This camera was not dropped or misused. Most of the pictures taken by the camera were shot in my house of products I sell. The screen displays a message "turn power off and on again", but doing so does not resolve the problem. While researching solutions, I discovered that many, many owners have had this problem.

Aside from the lack of reliability, I was frustrated that I had to turn the flash off and the timer on before every shot when taking a hundred shots in a row. Would be nice to be able to set defaults for a photo shoot.

I did get some nice photos from the camera and enjoyed the compact size that easily fits in a pocket. The 5x zoom is good to have.
