A handy feature not to be overlooked...
I see there are many positive reviews for this camera, which I have had for a year or so. I am adding my own because I see no mention in the first few reviews of a feature I really like about this camera--it takes video. And decent video, at that. I bought the underwater housing for it that is available from Sony and have had a lot of fun taking underwater photos and videos with this little camera. So not only can you get good photos at the family reunion or graduation or vacation, you can get v...

Mixed Feelings
I have mixed feelings about this camera.
The build is great, looks elegant and almost has a jewelery feel to it.
The user interface is well designed and logical.
The power and playback buttons can be a bit small and flat, but they are very responsive.
Battery life is amazing.
Image wise, I like how this camera captures color - rich without being overly saturated.
With that said, comparing this camera to, say, Lumix FX or Powershot, one notices that ...

Liked the camera until the LCD screen inexplicably stopped working
I actually enjoyed the camera and thought it took pretty good photos. That was for the seven months that it worked. During a trip to Europe, I took some pictures, turned the camera off and then turned it on again a few minutes later to find the LCD not working. It was a bummer, but I thought not a big deal as I would have it taken care of under warranty when I got back to the states.
I contacted Sony customer support, who directed me to mail the camera to a repair shop in Connecticut ...

Possibly the worst camera I've ever used
I purchased this camera to snap off some photos when I moved to Vancouver for school (I left my other camera on the other side of the country) and it's one of the worst mistakes I've ever made.
When it's not taking blown out white pictures or pitch black images, it's snapping off blurry or orange tinted images.
I brought my first one back for another one- the same problem!
(And before anyone says that I just don't know how to use it, keep in mind that I've been a photographer fo...

Great while it lasted!
I purchased this product in February of 2007. It is now September and I have not been able to use it since July. One day it just started acting really weird, the power button was flashing, which means the battery is dead, but even after repeated charging it still would not work. I purchased a new battery to see if maybe something had happened to the original one and it still did not work. Per Sony's customer support I sent it to their camera repair center. Of course, they called me and told...

Sony is a waste of money
I purchased this camera 6 months ago. After 5 months of use, at my daughters birthday party no less, the screen broke. I sent it back for repair and was told my warranty was void because the damage was caused by "impact". I know for a fact that indeed there was no misuse or impact. I believe it was faulty manufacturing and a weak screen. So here I am after only 6 months of use, without a camera. I could pay $111.00 to have it fixed, but instead I am going to purchase a good camera. A Canon. I ha...

Lens got stuck had to return
I bought this camera and loved the look of it, the feel of it, the photos, the size . . . all until, within 2 weeks of buying it and without anything at all happening to the camera to provoke this problem, the lens stopped opening. I would turn on the camera, it would start up but the lens cover would not open. I would turn it off and turn it on again and it would sometimes open the second time and sometimes not. I loved the camera so much I thought I'd give it a day to "sort itself out," b...

Bad
my daughter in law bought this camara, the pictures are bad, the noise is like another rewier said is so loud you can hear it. I told her to stick to Nikon or Canon but you know....... she did not pay attention.
The camera is very pretty I grant you that but it sucks.

Very Problematic
So I got my sister Annie, this camera for her birthday. She was really excited, when she opened it up.
I go into the kitchen to make flapjacks and sausages. Then all of a sudden, I hear Annie and my wife Linda screaming. I smell smoke. I rushed back into the living room and my sister Annie is on fire. Apparently, she tried to take a picture of my wife and her brand new Sony Cyber-shot bursted into flames, catching the sleeve of my sister's cotton blouse, leaving her with second degree burn...
