How it sucks

Well even though my first cyber-shot broke within the first year, I have bought three more with no problems--until this one. My 14 year old daughter got this one for Christmas and it lasted about two weeks. Now when you turn it on, the lens goes in and out and the only thing you can do with it is view pictures that were already taken.

Good and small but not too daft where you can't see it properly or operate the buttons. Wife loves the colour but it's slightly on the red side of pink (although still well pink)- more than it appears on screen.

The pictures from the game came out nicely even though we were not at field level. I was able to capture the excitement of the crowd and the game with clarity. Obviously the zoom is only 3X but the clarity makes up for it.

It is a good camera, but you can buy this from Amazon itself for 139$ (if you choose a non-pink color), or from elsewhere for 150$ for pink.

3 of my friends bought these here and from walking around with it in their pockets 2 of their LCD screens got cracked. Sony will not replace them.good investment.

The only * are a few shots at night. Sometimes the flash and colors could work better, so the pictures would be brighter The battery last for hundred shots.

Cons: Lack of image stablizer, the image dial moves freely coming in and out of pocket. Had to retake some photos as a result because the flash did not go off since some image settings do not have flash.

Picture quality experiments a disappointing decrease when digital zoom is used.

I tend not to advocate using Sony software because it's normally as crap as the hardware is good, so I can't tell you about that side of it. Good value for money.

This camera is by far the best I ever had. It's small, light, has a very nice design and is very easy to use. It has cool options like the slide show possibility with music and stuff.

Absolutely magnificent camera. was bought as a Christmas present and is probably the best camera anyone can find for the money. I'd recommend this camera to anyone looking for a digital camera and actually taking great pictures.

Product is excellent, especially with memory upgrade. Easy to use and small so can be easily stored in pocket. The vendor had this to me within a few days.

good digital cameras are hard to find but this one wins in all categories that matter from ease of use, to excellent view finder (big), to great pictures and long battery life - very sleek, fits anywhere easily and does its job while looking good!!

I love the quality of the pictures it couldn't get any better! So far so good not to mention is soooo adorable. I have tiny hands and this camera is still a little smaller than my hands so it's perfect for me!

It has a lot of options and choices, takes great close-up photos,does well in a variety of lighting and the movies aren't too bad of quality. I don't know much technically about electronics but I know this is user friendly enough for me and equipped enough for my tech-savvier boyfriend. Overall, I'm very pleased.

Having the coloured options just makes it sweet! I love it on black, it's a stylish choice, much better than the usual silver.

My expectations were proven correct. The camera worked out great and was $100 less than others I considered.

All in all I would highly recommend this camera, I'm no camera expert by any means, had a few in the past, all film type, this is my first digital.
