3.0 out of 5 stars Sony Cybershot 5.1, March 6, 2007

I've owned two of these cameras in two years. They take great pictures. There is however, a Serious Problem with Dust getting inside the Camera. This dust causes severe spots on the Images. The Only Recourse is to send to Sony for cleaning which can can cost about $150 or more. I'm now in the market for yet another camera; the Spots are really getting bad now. Even though I love the pictures on my Cybershot, I will choose a different camera. I've been burned twice.

Bought this camera years and years ago and it's still working. Takes nice point and shoot pictures, but does eat up batteries and storage space when taking movies. Decent resolution on images, audio not so great for the movies. One of the reasons I bought a second camera as this one only has a 3x Optical zoom. So its good for relatively close pictures (say across the street), but not so good for distance shots (like a bird flying overhead.) I do take this camera with me to parties and such as it's a lot easier to carry than the bigger ones with the higher optical zooms. This would make a good beginner camera for someone.
