4An excellent P&S camera with a very good optical zoom...  Sep 08, 2008
I got this camera 9 months ago after doing a lot of research.
Till now this camera has not let me down...

It deserves a 5 star rating but the reason for a 4 star rating is due to the Cons mentioned.

Pros:
1. High quality pictures
2. Excellent optical zoom capability...
3. Use of zoom in movie mode (but you cannot adjust the zoom when a movie is getting recorded)
4. Advanced Sports Mode - the mode that I love to use... - you can take crystal clear pictures of moving objects without any blurs or aberrations (this is restricted to daylight - as this mode deactivates flash settings)
5. When you set the camera to continuous shots mode & use with advanced sports mode, the time it takes to get the camera ready for the next picture is such that you won't even notice that the picture is already taken & the camera is ready for the next one. I have not tried with other modes...so cannot give any idea of how quick the camera gets ready for the next picture in other modes (like Soft snap, Twilight, Landscape etc).
6. Movie recorded in night is of a good quality than compared to taking pictures.

Cons:
These are the two main drawbacks I noticed with this camera.
1. Night mode pictures with this camera are not so good as compared with the pictures taken in daylight.
2. The mode dial at the top right sometimes unknowingly gets changed when we keep taking pictures and by the time you notice, you would have taken quite a few pictures and think... when did this get changed? I did not change it!!!


When I first used this camera during my trip to LA & uploaded the snaps & shared them with friends & relatives, the comment that I got was -
"the ultimate part seems to be the Camera... The images are crisp & sharp.."

Overall, this is an excellent camera to own & it takes excellent quality pictures (in daylight).

Diwakar.

5Great action and still shots!   Jun 14, 2008
I bought this to replace my Kodak EasyShare Z740 with 10x optical zoom. I needed to keep the zoom capabilities and I wanted a camera that would take good action pictures as well as still photos. I also had to have the video mode to capture all the witty little things my boys do and say.

I got it charged and started taking pictures right away. I have two busy boys so I need a camera that takes good action shots. I love all of the features and I love that when you turn the selection dial the choices appear on the lcd screen so that I can stay focused. I wanted to be able to learn to use something a little more complex with the plans of moving up to a SLR camera later.

5A Great Camera!  May 25, 2008
I LOVE this camera. I've had it for about 6 months and it takes wonderful pictures, even in the dark (with the ISO setting). The Zoom is great. The GRIP is a super-wonderful feature! It's easy to download pictures, and the BATTERY LASTS FOREVER! Overall, it's the nicest camera I've ever owned.

4good pics, small, simple  May 18, 2008
I got this as a gift for my wife and she loves it. She was using a Fuji Finepix but wanted better quality and more options; this delivers as well as being more portable with the option of adding lenses for those special shots.
Sony cameras do work best if you take the time to learn how to use them. The Auto functions can be a bit grainy sometimes, but if you learn the camera, learn what the settings are for, you'll be very happy with it.
