A name brand camera with somewhat mixed reviews and not the greatest image quality, it still packs a lot of features into a low price.

    After a year, I still like this camera
    rating

    This review is for the totally non-technical person. I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to specifications, so I'll write from that viewpoint.
    I've had this camera for almost a year, and it has been my sole camera on several vacations and family events. Some friends were having a very tiny private wedding and asked me to take informal pictures before, and this is the camera I used. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.
    Pros:
    Small
    Lightweight
    Clear photos
    Minimal shutter delay
    Cropped and blown up photos are still clear
    Battery holds a charge for a good length of time.

    Cons:
    Low profile buttons on top of camera are TOO low.
    Cost of Sony memory cards and extra battery!

    Not as good as older Sony
    rating

    This is perhaps my 10th Sony Cybershot and possibly the worst. Even though it's a 12mp the quality is not that good. Many blury shots even on auto. The flash is too strong at times and make the image very bright. Anyways, I like Sony Digital Camers but this is not one that I would recomment

    Great

    The print color is awesome. Not too impressed with the video color reproduction. Am still studying the manual though. Thanks Sony.
