When I opened the box the first camera was dead on arrival. I have to physically force the lens closed in order to power up the camera; in addition the flash never works. It did. Now, it has the same problem. It constantly powered up only to shut down immediately. I tried replacing batteries to no avail.
Then I decided, I had better open the second to see if it functioned correctly. Sent it back to Sony for warranty repair. I'm not sure if they're still selling this model, but if they are, you would be wise to stay away. Well, not exactly DOA.
Buy a Canon instead. I thought I got a great deal because of the Sony name and Black Friday price, but it was a total waste of money. I bought two of these cameras for gifts Christmas 2007. Unfortunately, I lost my own camera and decided to use one of these as an emergency replacement. Evidently, it has to do with the the lens not retracting.
But unfortunately only for a few months.
Decent exposure. Simple and easy to use. This is no Leica quality camera or lens but it does a very decent job considering the price. You will need to buy a card to store your photos as the internal 16MB memory won't get you very far. Zoom quality is poor but expected at this price point.
Bought one of these at a good price, but the price is not good enough to keep it. But if you've ever used a decent quality digital camera, look elsewhere. Too bad it doesn't operate as well as it looks. I took much better quality pictures with my older camera.
I was willing to live without the view finder because the style of the camera made it easy to use without one. This is my first Sony still camera, and probably will be my last. The picture quality is just simply awful. Software enhancement didn't help much either. Besides, I never had to adjust anything on the Kodak, Auto seemed to work just fine.
I think this is a camera that somebody who has never owned a digital camera would enjoy, or maybe someone who is upgrading from one of those cheap off brand cameras you see in stores for under $50. Besides, I have a lot of SD cards laying around, didn't feel like spending the extra money on a proprietary memory card that Sony is cashing in on (MemoryStick).
Upgrading from an older Kodak C730 3.1MP, I was very disappointed. Learned something new.
I tried playing with all the settings, but it didn't seem to help. I was very surprised that Sony would let a product with such low quality out into the market.
Think I'm gonna look at a Canon PowerShot A590IS next, I've heard good things about them. The turnout is grainy in most situations (every now and then you get lucky with a good one) and the color seems to be very dull.
It's a very attractive camera, small and sleek.
Angelo I purchased this camera for a friend. He's tried several sets of batteries to no avail. I am hopeful it can be resolved easily and a replacement is not required. I will be calling Sony on his behalf given that he's overseas and can't do it. The camera turns on and shuts off right away. Thanks. I am dissapointed that it does not work which may point to the Quality Assurance efforts at Sony.
Simple to use but there is no memory stick and the internal memory only allows for 15 pictures.
