I got this camera this past weekend, and I love it. The pics are crisp, the design is sleek, and it's fun to shoot with. I'm excited to give the underwater function a try (with the appropriate kit, of course), and the settings are really useful for a variety of scenes. The only downside is that I had to buy a Memory Stick, which was a little difficult to find. Also, it was a bit expensive (25$ for 2G). However, this price included a memory card adapter, so I didn't have to buy a new card reader for my computer. All in all, I think this is a great camera!

I purchased this for my girlfriend to replace an aging camera. The camera is very easy to use. A true point and shoot dummy camera. It takes great photos in all different conditions such as full sun, indoors, dusk, night and so forth.

I love this camera. I have a macbook and this camera was plug and play...no additional software needed. It takes great pics and video that I don't have to edit for my website. Love the color too. I am not a digital camera freak. I'm pretty easy, but it is easy to use, light weight, and sturdy. Works for me. :)

Great camera. Pictures turned out great. Love the pink color! Zoom capabilities & pictures are better than my old Canon. Don't like the zoom button placement & Power ON/OFF button. The zoom should be on the front of the camera. Much easier on my Canon to zoom. The Power button is tiny! I have to use the edge of my nail to turn the camera on/off. Other than that...great camera, at a great price.

This camera has the worst battery life I have ever experienced. I have had many Sony digital cameras. I have to charge this camera or at the very least check the charge level before every use. I am also very sad Sony has moved away from showing remaining battery life in minutes, now we just get the bars and you never know how long the last bar is going to last. Especially when it gets to that last bar in a matter of hours.
I wanted to return this camera but my daughter loves it. (I have to make sure it's always charged though.)
On another note. Sony has also moved away from in camera charging. You now have to remove the battery and charge it in it's own little charge cradle. Again this is a major hassle. Yes my Nikon & Canon slr's have the same function of charging but their batteries last for months before a charge is required. To me this is just an obvious plot by Sony to make you purchase a spare battery, for a leisure camera and with todays technology this should never be the case. I still own a Sony DSC-P200. A fantastic camera whose battery life always surprises me as being almost eternal. I've taken that camera on a 2 week vacation, shot 100's of pictures and never had to think about the battery. This just shows how Sony have changed and I'm sad to say I think this may very well be my last Sony camera.

This is a very nice camera for the price. It lets you record up to 25 min. of video. Picture quality is excellent. I love the fact that the battery is re-chargeable. I would recommend this camera.

We purchased this camera in September 2009. It no longer works. Through normal use, this camera has "corrosion" damage. The bill to fix? $250. It's more than the camera cost. Sony customer service has been the pits through all of this too. Nobody cares about fixing the problem. We have several cameras that are 2 - 3 years old and they still work (and certainly they have been used in FAR harsher conditions than this one. We are done purchasing Sony products. Think twice about it. They can come up with a pretty simple reason why your product does not fall under warranty....PATHETIC.

I live in Venezuela, and I received the camera 2 days ago... It's great! Im loving it! It's easy to use, the smile shutter works better than I spected, the macro shoot function works very nicely... And the high sensibility ISO 3200 improves a lot the shoots in certain places.

I also tried plugging it to the TV and making a slideshow with music and visual effects!

Im very pleased with the camera and the price is more than just for all the great functions of it.

It will be a great tool for my blog and my futures vacations. I totally recomend it.

This was an okay camera until it broke due to exploding internal parts! I bought it in fall of last year for a trip to Sweden and it was okay. Then this year we took it to Japan. We went on a hike and tried to take a picture of a shrine and heard a very loud "pop" sound from the camera. After that the flash never worked again. I called Sony customer support and they instructed me to reset its settings to the factory defaults and try to take a picture with flash, which caused the pop sound again and completely killed the camera for good! Sent it to their warranty repair shop and they later called me to say that it broke because of corrosion which wasn't covered under the warranty and they wouldn't repair it, even though THEIR phone representative's instructions were what broke it for good! I guess Sony doesn't design their cameras to work in the humid hiking trails of their own country. Needless to say, I will never buy a Sony camera again.

This camera has been the best electronics purchase I made all year. It is easy to use, has good picture quality and has had absolutely no problems. It's also small enough to carry everywhere but still has a big enough screen/buttons to be able to use easily. I've had it over a year and I just couldn't love it more. A great buy, I highly recommend it!!
