  This was the second digital camera that I have owned. My first one was also a Sony Cybershot, but it was very large and bulky. Since I didn’t have problems with my first Cybershot, I decided to stick with Sony because it was an all around good brand. After doing some research for a couple of days, I finally settled on this camera. The touch screen seemed really high-tech and I liked how it came in black.

  When I first got the camera, getting used to the touch screen didn’t take too long. My main problem with the touch screen is that it gets dirty really fast. Also, simple things like turning off the flash would’ve just been one button push on my other camera, but with the touch screen everything takes longer to find. It’s not fun to deal with, especially if you’re a little tipsy LOL.

  I love how small and light this camera is. It easily fits into my clutch or back pocket. I kind of regret getting black because when it gets scratched, you can really tell.

  All in all, I feel like the picture quality was even worse than my previous camera. As I continued to use and get used to my camera, I wished that there were more features to let me maniuplate the camera settings. You can program this camera to “indoor” or “outdoor”, but I wanted more control over the aperature and f-stop. It’s a nice camera if you just want to snap and go, but next time I’ll take more time when looking into a camera.

  Make sure you get a memory stick for this as well, because the memory alone is pretty crappy. My favorite part of the camera is the ease with which it allows me to record small videos for YouTube. Other than that, I’ve used better cameras.

  This is a great little camera. You will need to read the instruction manual to realize all of the features it has. If you don’t want to use the fancy features it is still a great point and shot camera that takes amazing pictures.

  I have owned this camera for about a year and I absolutely love it. I was a bit concerned about the touch screen being fragile, but it has lasted and works as well as it did the day I purchased it. It takes fabulous pictures. I actually just went to FL with a friend and we took pics at sunset. Hers turned out dark and difficult to see the people and my camera took great clear pics without even changing modes. Taking videos on the camera is also extremely simple to do and they are of decent quality. The camera is so cute and sleek. I get compliments on it every time I am out with it. The touch screen makes learning how to use and find settings easily. Definitely worth every penny.

  Necesitaba una cámara buena, pequeña y moderna. Pues esta tiene todo lo que busco. Muy buena cantidad de Mp, la pantalla con buena imagen, fotos de buena calidad, lo mas importante es la duración de la bateria, con ella puedo hacer muchisimos disparos. Me dura más del triple que duraba la anterior. La recomiendo por encima de la cámara de toque en la pantalla, pues la bateria dura mucho mas… La recomiendo 100%

  You can go 40km per hr, and still get national geographic photos with this awesome camera! It’s super Fab! I just bought this for the second time (first cam was stolen after 6 months) and tried a few newer cameras, different models and brands, and decided to hunt down this camera. All the stores told me they are discontinued, so I was SO happy when I found a couple for sale online!
  High recommended! No flash required, Awesome pics every time!

  The camera is nice and small, definitely an advantage over my old one.

  I’m annoyed Sony has to have their own memory card rather than using the SD chip I’m used to - cost me another $70.

  My biggest complaint is the menus. They are not intuitive at ALL. My old Kodak has a dial to switch between capture modes. This could be done quickly with ease so I could take a picture and then 5 seconds later start recording a video.

  This thing…I was actually too embarrassed to use one night because the event I wanted pictures of had already started and the thing was so noisy with it’s little beeps and boops and I couldn’t quietly find out how to turn the sound off so as to not disturb those around me.

  There is nothing intuitive about switching modes on this thing. Scrolls do not loop bottom/top right/left, so to get to movie mode you’ve got four buttons to hit.

  I’ve had the camera for two months now and I still have trouble switching modes. You don’t go to select, and then hit right to scroll through options. You go to select, OK (which since you haven’t done anything is the last thing you think of, THEN hit “Menu” and scroll through options.

  And if you want to go back to standard auto, it’s not on that selector, it’s got a standalone menu.

  Every time I try and scroll through options I’m met with error messages that the current mode doesn’t support flash/closeup, since the right/left buttons double as the ‘quick set’ for those, respectively. Of course, I’m not trying to change flash settings at all, just move from ISC/landscape whatever to standard photo.

  I don’t know how many amazing shots I’ve missed or had come out blurry because I was in the wrong mode and it took me so long to navigate to the correct mode that I missed the great shot. It may take great pictures, but menus HAVE to be intuitive if you’re going to take great pictures of the moments you want.

  I purchased this camera after Christmas, so I have had it almost six months. I am very impressed with this camera (I have the silver one that I had purchased at Staples on sale).

  >My only problem with this camera is the battery. I have a difficult time keeping it charged. If I want to minimize battery usage, I try to keep my picture viewing at a minimum. For the most part, I can get away with using it for five days until I need to recharge it.

  >The screen is amazing, but I am always nervous it might get a scratch on it, because it is so large. It currently has fingerprints all over the screen, which is understandable due to it’s large size. (I do not have the touchscreen version)

  >My favorite part is the “Program Auto” mode that is on the Home Menu. I find the “White Balances” settings on it to be extremely useful. You can change it from Flourescent 1, 2, 3, Daylight, Cloudy, Incandescent, or Auto. This is the best way for me to get excellent photos in a house (or even outside). I used to leave my camera on the auto mode, but now it’s always on Program Auto so I can change the light settings. For me, I think it’s as good as the invention of sliced bread!

  This is a wonderful camera if you don’t mind charging it often. I would highly suggest you buy a spare battery when you get this camera, to save you in case the original dies on you. As I stated earlier, I have enjoyed this camera since December, and plan to use it for many, many months to come. If you are searching for an easy, useful, point-and-shoot camera, it’s a good option for you.

  This camera takes worse pictures than my old 3MP camera.!!! Pictures are grainy and out of focus. Especially indoor pictures, very bad.
