5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera for the Price, May 25, 2002

I cannot express how happy I am with this camera. Regardless of what others say, the duration of the info-lithium battery is quite long. What amazes me is the color fidelity and the incredible adaptability of this camera. I have captured shots in some of the most difficult lighting conditions, right next to my father using a $1000 Nikon 990 and the sony shots look superior.

Match this camera up with a Viao 505 laptop with a built in memory stick reader, and the combo is unstoppable.

Video features are great, and the ability to annotate sound with photographs is fun. VERY high quality sound out of such a tiny mic!! I don't know how they pulled that off.

Bottom line:
1 User friendly / Easy to navigate
2 Hi Quality Pics
3 Great battery life

I purchased this camera not too long ago. The quality of the pictures is great, the controls are conveniently located and the menu commands are very easy to use. The battery life is OK but not outstanding, a spare battery is a must. I used with a 32 MB memory stick, plenty for all your needs even working at the highest picture quality level (about 40 shots). Overall a very good product. The battery charger is very bulky,this is why I do not give it 5 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broken within 4 months, June 17, 2002

This camera broke within 4 months, and the warantee only covers 3 months for labor. Therefore, I had to spend $[money] to get it fixed. I had a poor experience with their customer service staff.
