Camera looks great, compact, and takes ok pictures in outdoors with bright lights, but indoors don't even use it. Florescent lighting makes the pictures yellow orange. Face recognition does'nt work all the time. Most indoor pictures are blurry and soft. Red eye does not work all the time. I own a 4 megapixel sony and it takes better pictures than this camera. Flash is dissapointing making pictures dark if not close (5-10ft). This camera should have never even been released to the market. This camera is a waste of your money. Please don't make the same mistake I did! The pictures were so bad in the end that I now use it as a paper weight.
Good for it's purpose (Rating: 4 out of 5) I had no intentions of buying a camera, but I stumbled upon this one on clearance for $200 bucks at Best Buy. With an upcoming trip to Italy and my Pentax DSLR our only camera option I decided to buy it. Had I known it would be so difficult to find another one at that price, I would have bought them all. I'm happy with the purchase at my price, but would have been disappointed with the $400-600 everyone else seems to be paying.
The touchscreen works well, it's very responsive and easy to use. There could be some design improvements with the interface, but it's not too bad.
Well lit outdoor pics look great. Indoor, lowlight pics are mediocre.
File sizes are ok. Unfortunately no option for RAW files and it also doesn't use SD which is all but standard now, so i had to buy an additional memory card.
The bottom line is that it's perfect if your expectations are appropriate. Don't expect it to replace a DSLR, or take professional quality images. It's small, fits in my shirt pocket, is easy to use and easy to travel with. The images are good enough for a slideshow or scrapbooking--if that's your thing. Pick one up if you can find it under $300
excellent! (Rating: 5 out of 5) I know that it is very expensive, but if you can afford it, don't think twice about it. I had the model before this one but gave it away to my nephew and run home to buy another one and found this new model. Takes the pictures fast, the clarity and sharpeness is amazing. Many choices and simple to navegate. Easy to learn. Fits in your pocket and ready to shoot in half a second. If I lose it tomorrow, I will buy another one the day after.
very good camera (Rating: 4 out of 5) Good product from sony.
I am surprised to see its price getting increased after I had purchased the product.
Great camera overshadowing its successorsGreat camera overshadowing its successors (Rating: 5 out of 5) Its odd to add a review for a camera now out of production, but consistently this camera rates significantly higher then its successors the T200, or T300. The later generations have higher resolution images, and improved software. But this older model delivers better pictures, and more pictures per charge. In the end isn't that what you get a camera for?
Its sad, but true, that the photo journals and consumer report articles on the newer cameras consistently report them as disappointingly inferior to this older model. This explains why this old model now sells for more, sometimes twice as much, as it did when it was in production - or as the newest successor sells for now.
