 Easy to Use
I am very happy with the clear pictures this camera takes. The touch screen is very easy to use also. Great buy!
 Wish I had done more research...
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.
Best Camera I have ever owned!
My fiance purchased this camera for me for Christmas and I could not have asked for a better gift. It takes GREAT pictures, is easy to use, and I haven't had a blurry shot.
If you are looking for professional photos, skip it, but it is the best you are going to get for your money with a point and shoot. The zoom is also AMAZING. I can get things all the way from the front of my yard to the back of my yard. The touch screen also makes things easier.
Not for Professional Photographers
1. This is not a camera for professional photographers. This IS a camera for those who take lots of outdoor shots, those who like the convenience of a small camera, and those who like Sony.
2. This is not a great camera for indoors/low light conditions. This is a great camera for action shots (when placed on the right settings).
3. I LOVE this camera for what I do, which is a lot of close up still life type shots. It hooks up to my HDTV and plays the most beautiful slideshows I've ever seen. The 8mp may be too much for some, but I tend to print large scale photos from my digital files, and the 8mp is PERFECT for me.
4. Being a Sony person, I have several MS Duo sticks laying around. Anyone who's got a kid with a PSP will know these aren't obsolete. I like the fact that the MS Duo isn't tiny, like some of the SD kin. I hate fubmling for a teeny-tiny little card and being afraid I'm going to lose it. I don't have that problem with this camera.
5. I really, really love the touch screen. It's big, beautiful, clear and responsive. I did put a screen protector on it as soon as I had it in my hands, so that it wouldn't get scratched. But it's stood up to 6 yr old hands many times without damage.
6. This camera is a great size for a 'Mom on the go' because it slips into a purse or back pocket very easily. The internal zoom has got to be one of the coolest things ever. I love that I can get the shot when others with their standard zooms can not.
7. All in all I would most certainly recommend this camera. It takes a little while to play with the settings and learn how to use it, but it's well worth it. It takes great photos, has a great form factor, and is very reliable.
GOOD digital camera
Excellent camera but it takes some time to learn to used it. Some users may get poor quality photos. There are other cameras cheaper and easier to use to obtain good pics. But there are few cameras so good looking. I recommend try it before buy it to decide if is what you want.
