Great camera for its size

"The LCD is a great size and is bright so you can see it in strong day light,and its easy to use so far as I have not had it very long. I wish the zoom was a little higher but all in all I like it very much and would tell others about it...." Read Full Review »

A cemera it is easy to use

"image stabilization works very well. Image quality is very good, in normal operation or macro. However, the auto-focus seems do not work very well, even the object has good contrast and it is bright enough. Another noticeable issue is the long interval between each shot when in non-burst mode. Still a good choice in this price level..." Read Full Review »

"After several years of using digital SLRs, I'm usually very skeptical of "compacts" or "point-and-shoot" cameras. Most of them are too automatic for my tastes.

But this Sony has a surprising amount of customization available, and quite a few manual controls, especially in Manual and Program modes …" Read Full Review »

"I think the camera takes great photos overall. However, it doesn't do well with my daughter's eyes - each eye ends up a different color: red, pink or white, whether I shoot with or without the red-eye reduction flash. It's not easily correctable since red-eye corrections only look for red, not pin …" Read Full Review »
