Had this camera for 1 month, LOVE IT!

Pros:

- HUGE SCREEN!! Talk about being the center of attention when you whip this camera out. Definitely want to get some sort of a protective slip for it.

- Great picture quality. What do you expect from SONY? Only the best.

- Internal Memory. 2GB - memory stick? No neccessary with this. Internal hard drive rocks.

- Sleek design. Doesn't look cheap, luxurious feel.

- Video recording. Again...just like the pictures, it rocks.

CONS

- Weight. A tad bit on the heavy side, but the HUGE screen makes you forget about it quickly!

- Close/Open slide. Not neccessarily a con, but it just takes a little getting used to.

- Size. Not the biggest of cameras but definitely not the slimmist. Again, not a huge downside considering the huge screen but short time you get used to it!

For more info, I would suggest going to [...] and seeing the video on this product! You won't be dissapointed with the camera

I've used Amazon to order various items before and was always satisfied with the result...quality at low prices.
I ordered a Sony Dsc G1 on Sunday June 24th and it arrived Thursday, June 28th.
I've taken about 50 photos under critical conditions, low light and using the automatic features of the camera.
I'm amazed at how well it performs. Big LCD screen, the camera is a nice size for my big hands, just a little bigger then the regular Cybershots. The resolution in the screen is excellent.
I was considering the DSC T-100 but it got such bad ratings that I went with this camera....sure glad I did!
When I figure out some of the more technical features I'll post a more detailed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony didn't cut any corners with this camera, August 19, 2008

This review is from: Sony Cybershot DSC-G1 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilization Zoom (Electronics)

I bought a Sony a300 dSLR a few months ago, but decided it wasn't logical to carry around a $1000 camera to parties, so I went searching for a good point and shoot that took quality pictures for around $200. I stumbled onto this camera at a National Camera Exchange tent sale and immediately fell in love with it.
Pros:
- 9-point AF is great for a point and shoot
- 3.5" screen is huge and crystal clear: have to see it to believe
- 6 MP is more than enough for 99% of my shots and it doesn't take up so much space on my computer. It also does better in low light conditions because the pixels aren't so packed on the sensor.
- 2 GB internal memory is awesome, and you don't have to buy expensive Sony memory sticks
- Can store and listen to music with an 8 mm headphone jack
- Nice charging dock
- Beautiful menu displays
- Toggle switch is the best way to flip through menus
- Lens is hidden when closed so it isn't easily scratched

Cons:
- Buttons are a little tough to learn
- Little big for most small camera cases

Would recommend it for anyone. Just a fun camera to own.
