I bought this camera last week after getting frustrated with the ultra-short battery life with NiMH batteries on my Kodak cameras. - The camera is slick! Very small and very smooth operation Goodies like on screen live histogram helps you capture better images - Very Long battery life - I took the battery out of the box and used it without charging it. Captured about 80 shots so far (most with flash) and it still is showing about 3/4 battery available. I have read other user stating that it really goes all the way up to about 380 shots on a SINGLE charge. This is what I love about this camera. - Large LCD (no view finder) makes taking pictures easy) - Easy and intuitive controls on the camera back - Efficient power management (like lens automatically withdraws when reviewing pictures, auto shut down when idle) - Photos are good (I am a casual photographer - not professional). I would not rate them excellent - the Kodak had better pictures - The camera does not like very bright light sources in front of it. The LCD as well as the picture taken has pink/purple streaks on it when bright light sources are present. Not very good Overall - a pretty good camera given what you pay for it - under 150$ and reliable quality from Sony! ......
So far, so good. Small enough to fit in pocket. Love the onscreen editing function!......
Sony Cybershot DSC-S980 12MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization with Case and 2GB Memory Stick (Pink) MY FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA AND I AM ENJOYING IT!......
The DSC S980 is the 2nd Cybershot I've purchased. The first one lasted 4 years before it was time for an upgrade. I tested the camera on a Disney World vacation before writing this review. The camera itself is light and compact. It lacks a view finder (great for sunny days) but compensates with an above average sized LCD screen. It runs on a series K Sony lithium ion battery (included). I got about 250 pictures on the initial charge. The camera requires a Sony memory card (not included), which is not the same size as an SD card. Accessories include photo software (not yet tested), a USB cable to connect to the computer, a video/mono audio RCA cable to connect to the TV, and a battery wall charger. The face recognition and image stabilizer work well. The camera has a number of user friendly settings ranging from an easy mode to somewhat more advanced settings for distance and lighting. I used the movie setting once - decent picture quality, mediocre sound quality. Overall, a great camera for the price that withstood the rigors of a Disney vacation and gave me hundreds of good pictures. ......
This is the second Cybershot we have owned and continue to be impressed with. It is easy to use (point and click as I am a technophobe), compact and lightweight. The pictures we have taken so far have all been good quality and even when zooming the quality does not appear to be affected. Would definately recommend it.......
