I had some trouble getting used to this camera but now it takes lovely pictures when I have it at the right setting.

This is a very nice camera for it's class. It takes very good photos, is quick to focus and has low shutter lag. It also has all of the features that one finds on these cameras now, including optical image stabilization and an effective auto-smile detection feature. The battery seems to last well, though I didn't pay attention to how many shots I got over how many days.
I haven't dropped it, but it seems well built. The LCD display is protected (a little anyway) by a thin layer of glass or Plexiglas. I would purchase this again if a similar need came up.

i have been an ardent fan of picture quality of sony cameras and that was the reason i bought this camera. this piece is compact (fits nicely in jeans pocket), looks great, feels comfortable in hands (the large screen makes it up for very small menu, display and delete buttons), has intelligent auto mode but the picture quality is not what i expected ... i have had this camera for about a week now and all the photos i took were taken outside in full daylight ... in no way do i mean that the photos were bad but they were not very good ... so i am a bit disappointed

I love this camera. Finding the right case was tough, though. After trying several ones in Sears, I bought a nice one that fits perfectly and has room for a battery: Caselogic Pocket Video Camcorder Case (TBC-312). This case model comes in two sizes though. The camera fits in both but I liked better the smaller one. If you are looking for a case, I recommend you to visit a camera/electronic store and try some cases by yourself. It's the only way you can be completely sure about this. I spent too much time looking for the right case online and could not find it.

This cam takes amazing pics. I bought this camera to take with me on a trip overseas. I ordered it early enough so that I could get it and learn it before the trip. I took some amazing pics of my dogs, the beach and some family pics and everything was beautiful! Taking it on the trip I knew that Id better have a back up battery since I would be taking alot of pics each day. The battery life was good, and I probably would have been ok with just the 1 battery on a daily basis. If you are taking your normal, everyday pics you going to be happy with this camera. I have had many digital cams over the years and am very experienced with them. Most people would be satisfied with this camera. The reason I only gave a 3 out of 5 is as follows. I went to a concert, and when it started to get dusk the pics started having a hard time focusing. When it was dark it was terrible. Even from the lights of the stage, I hardly got any pics after the sun went down. I thought with the iscn and iAuto mode that the low lighting or stage lights wouldn't be an issue. I took some video and instantly became annoyed with the inability to zoom in and out while the video was recording. Once I started recording I noticed that the battery life was instantly drained. I was thankful that I had brought my other sony batteries with me. I didnt get close to 5 mins of video out of the 3 batteries I had with me. very disappointing. I will probably sell this camera and either wait for a new series from sony or try a different model. I love sony and want to stick with them, and I have a larger sony camera with a high zoom.
