Sony has been around for a long time,and they have a great reputation,all
my stereo components are Sony.This Sony camera is compact,lightweight,and takes great photos.Great zoom,much better than most cameras,the overall performance is awsome!

I bought this camera for my wife for Xmas of 07. The camera worked great until last week, end of Sept of 08. I looked at all the bad reviews to see if anyone had the same problem I had. The LCD screen stopped working. You turn it on and nothing on the screen, just blank. I'm willing to believe it has something to do with the lens because older pics on the memory card show on the screen fine along with all the icons but now no pics can be taken and no picture on screen when camera is on and pointed. Just sent it back to Sony for fixing today. We'll see. If they want to charge me for fixing it, I'll just have to tell them to shove the camera where the sun doesn't shine and never buy sony again. I'll go back to Canon. It's a shame, it "WAS" a great camera. This is really pissing me off, the Sony was replacing a Kodak that stopped working after 5 months. Don't buy Kodak either.

I absolutely love this camera. The pictures are of really good quality and its super easy to download them to my computer.

This was a decent point and shoot camera when it worked. I took very good care of this camera. I did not drop it or damage it in any way. After 9 month's the LCD screen stopped working. This forced me to take several photos of the same pose/scene in the hopes of maybe taking a good picture of it. A couple of weeks after the 1 year warranty ran out, all of the pictures i took were fractured and blurred, forcing me to purchase a new camera. Like i said, when it did work, it took good pictures. But the quality of the hardware left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not buy another Sony camera again.

This camera is okay. It can zoom in for pictures a lot. About 14x i think. Because its on smart zoom. It can take fine pictures, but video quality isn't as good. I love it though it's kind of small and fits in your pocket.
