I love this camera. (2010-06-08)
Its been two years since I bought this camera and even today it works so perfect that I do not feel the necessity in purchasing another one. The picture clarity is perfect and also the pictures taken in the dark also come out so nice. I love this camera. The video recording is not of that good quality when compared to a HD cam but its nice. The LCD panel is also nice which helps me to see the pictures which I take with full quality. Its the best cam for me and most important its worth the price paid for. I would recommend this camera even today to anyone.

Great quality photos, easy to use (2010-05-30)
We had always purchased Olympus digital cameras, and when our last Olympus failed to impress, we decided to try the Sony. It has been a great camera, takes excellent photos, and has given us no hassles. Like any small digital, in very low light you must hold the camera very still, but it has been better than the Olympus cameras we've had in the past. Syncing to the Mac is very quick and easy, and charging is simple as well. No complaints!

black spots (2010-03-28)
I loved this camera until after the 2nd year of use I have black spots on my shots. Very poor longevity. I've seen other people with camera having the same problems. Not bad if you want black spots in all you pictures.

Sony just can't get past the Betamax thing.... (2010-03-08)
The camera works fine, but is it any better than the several dozen competitors in this price range? Is it so much better that customers should have to put up with the Sony proprietary memory card and USB cables? My daughter promptly lost the cable....no biggie, surely one of our other dozen USB cables we have here would work....only took a moment to see that the camera connector is totally unique and no where near any kind of industry standard. And Sony wants $35+ for a replacement cable. Best deal here on Amazon is $20. All other USB cables (standard connectors) are way less than $15. and of course, can't just pop out the memory card and plug it into my laptop reader....nope, it's proprietary as well. gee, thanx for that.
Why does Sony insist on steadfastly refusing to use any industry standards? Makes ya think that maybe the Sony engineers and management are still a bit miffed at loosing the Beta/VHS battles back in the 80's.....come on Sony - get over it and quit taking your customers for a ride with your proprietary, but no better than any other manufacturer's, connectors and memory cards.

Because of Sony's obvious arrogance and contempt for their customers, I will never buy another Sony product, nor recommend one.

Worked fine for about a year (2010-02-28)
This camera took great pictures and video and was great for what I wanted, but now for some odd reason when i turn it on the lens goes in and out about 3 times then the lcd display says "turn camera off and on again" I cant get it to go back to normal no matter how many times i have turned it on and off. Many people with the same problem seem to be able to fix this by banging on it because this is usually caused by dust getting stuck in the lens, i tried everything and still can not get it to work. So now i have a useless camera. Not happy.
