3.0 out of 5 stars Great Item - If it worked or Sony supported their products, May 4, 2006

By	Thomas E. Weber "Z Moe" (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This camera has nice features for its size, very compact and offers good resolution and options. The startup time for power up is very fast. Unfortunately the camera I received new in the box does not focus properly, so all of the pictures I take are blurry. I followed Sony's directions for repair, sent it in and a week and a half later received the camera back with the exact same problem thanks to Precision Camera Repair. I called Sony again for the same problem and had to fight with them to have them pay for shipping of the defective item. I may have to wait up to 10 days to receive a UPS shipping label from Sony. It's been a month since I originally purchased the item and await a shipping label to send it back for repair the 2nd time.

My mistake was purchasing a discontinued product from a company that does not have a supported return policy for defective products and dealing with a manufacturer that doesn't support their products directly, but through authorized service centers. Be certain to order any Sony products from a company that will accept a defective return, because you really don't want to deal with Sony unless you don't mind waiting several months to use the products you purchase.
