5 Stars Good superzoom compact camera
Strongly recommend to somebody who likes photography as a secondary hobby. This jewel serves all purpose with enough manual controls to get a good picture. Have fun like i did!
1 Stars buy sony at your own risk
I bought a 19 inch sony trinitron monitor which at that time cost around $1200 dollars. after I had used it for several years a circuit (horizontal hold) went out which caused the screen to deform. I took it to a local repairman and he told me he couldn’t fix it because sony would not allow independant repair shop access to the required software which was needed to reset the machine after it was repaired. He told me I would have to call sony and send it to one of their authorized repair shops.
I called sony and they told me their nearest shop was in Atlanta and that the minimum charge would be over $800 dollars. In other words they had no interest in helping me fix the monitor they wanted me to buy a new monitor. By then the prices had fallen to about $600 for a comparable monitor from Viewsonic. I promised myself that I would never ever buy another product from sony and I never will. If anything goes wrong with your product you are on your own.
5 Stars Really enjoying this camera!
We had a 6 year old 3.2 megapixel camera that got the job done when we had our first child, but was lacking in many ways. We are expecting our second child and wanted to upgrade. I did a lot of research and chose this camera over Canon powershot models because this seems to be able to do more than take good “people” shots.
We hate using flash, and there is a setting on here that allows for clear pictures without flash in fairly dark settings. There are all kinds of settings to allow for action shots (good for little boys in sports!), close up, etc. The shutter reaction time is great - no long waiting for the camera to actually take the picture!
I could go on and on, but to me this seems to be the next best thing to a digital SLR camera without spending a ton of money. Easy to use, but it has the options of manual settings, etc. And it takes HD movies! Hooks right up to your TV!
My husband and I are super thrilled!
5 Stars Sony cyber-shot
I have only had occation to use the camera once and not for very long. I thought it had a bigger internal memory but since it had virtually none, I had to wait for the memory card. I did take one picture with it and the quality was top notch. I don’t know about the battery life yet but I did purchase an extra battery so I would always have a charged battery.
5 Stars Out of this world Camera!!
This camera just simply rocks, its interface could be for used for a novice as well for a talented photographer, it has tousands of options and definitively its a rough camera to use it on-the-go. Im starting from scratch to learn to use it and every day you find thousands of new options and tricks. Great to shoot close up pics as well as wide angle photographs. Worths the money cause at the end if you are going to spend 100-150U$D save 75$ more and you get this babe!
