It’s Amazing That Such a Little Camera Can Do So Much! 
by .. ‘MaryLou Cheatham (Louisiana)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RN50XPK2J6U6O My friend bought this camera about three years ago. I have another camera, but I am constantly borrowing his Sony Cybershot instead of using mine. It took us a while to start using the video feature, but we love it.
We like the flash feature, which works well for inside pictures and to fill in outside in the sunlight. The red eye reduction feature is helpful. The view screen is large enough to enjoy. We love the compact size.
My friend wishes he could get a better view than 3X telephoto in the video mode.
He is very satisfied with his camera and enjoys it when he gets an opportunity to use it. Obviously, I like it too.
Here is a sample video.
Great product… by .. Matthew C. Pierson (Seattle, Wa USA)
I had this camera for about three years. I have taken it to four continents and about 20 plus countries. it with stood being slammed around and banged up all up and down central america and china and Europe. It takes great pictures and is extremely easy to use. I would recommend it for anyone traveling or that wants a nice and easy camera. the only bad part about it is that it doesnt have a very fast film option so that night pictures are not that good if you get out of the range of the flash. I finally managed to break the screen and it is cheaper to get another camera than to replace the screen.
Great camera, when it works 
by .. S. Mcauliffe (LA)
I had this camera a little over 3 mo when the snap-open lens cap started to jam. This causes the camera to power back down. I can usually jimmy the cap a little with my finger and get it working after a couple tries. It does add a little time to the otherwise lightning fast power-up though. Yes, right here I should have sent the camera in but I needed it for, I don’t know, taking pictures…
Next problem cropped up 6 months later, the docking station stopped charging the camera and downloading pictures. I ordered a separate battery charger and I have a memory slot on my laptop that reads MS so I’ve kind of worked through it.
Now 4 months later the flash is only firing 1 out of 10 times. Of course it waits until now to develop a problem I can’t live with.
13 months total and I have a camera that doesn’t power up, charge, download or take pictures inside. Other than the listed issues I love this camera, it is fast, pictures are sharp all in a tiny package.
FYI this camera has not been treated harshly. Now, while it’s in the shop, I have no camera and will no doubt be adding to the original $600 price tag
Nice outdoor pics, but night shot is horrible 
by .. Anindya Sarkar (Milpitas, CA)
This is really a nice point-and-shoot camera. Outdoor pics are really impressible and the clarity is also quite good. The only big problem I noticed about this piece is its night shot mode. Since it does not have any outside flash, the night pics are not good as expected from Sony. The indoor pics are also affected by the same problem.
Good for a little camera by .. Linda B. (Los Angeles, CA)
This is a great camera for travel and everyday events because of its small and convenient size. We bought it to replace our bulkier Sony DSC-F707. The large screen is wonderful! The video feature is a lot of fun but due to the small size it is hard to take a steady video. The battery meter is very useful as it tells you how much time you have left. The main downside with this camera is the flash. It doesn’t work well in very dark conditions for distant or even slightly distant shots. If it weren’t for the flash, I would have given this a rating of 5 stars. This is overall a good camera.
For more serious digital photography, we prefer to use the Sony DSC-F707 as it has a better flash and zoom. However, it is too bulky to carry around.
