"Fast shooting,great display"
I love my new camera. It's great when you have small kids and need to get the shot before they move. I mostly wanted a camera for that feature alone. The slideshow feature is fun and the LCD dispaly is crystal clear.

"Fast but not good"
I bought this camera because it was super fast between shots, a big requirement for me as I've lost so many good shots waiting and waiting. It does take nice pictures outside, but inside shots are horrible. I went through all the suggestions, settings, etc. that were available and recommended in these and other reviews but they still turned out terrible. They looked GREAT in the preview while still on the camera, but as soon as I looked at them on the computer they were all grainy, with some backgrounds looking like they'd been colored in with crayon. Even the "better" indoor ones looked like they were taken with a 3mp camera. And the proprietary memory sticks didn't help either. Since I figured half of my pictures I take are indoors it wouldn't be wise to keep so I took it all back and got a Canon Powershot SD1100 IS, which is AWESOME. SUPER fast and great pics, even the extreme close-ups were good.

"Sony just keeps getting better!"
I bought this camera for my husband. It's to replace the camera I bought him last year that I just couldn't seem to part with (another Sony). He is not a big camera buff, I am the one who is snapping all the pics. This camera is awsome!! The pictures are perfect, the lighing the colors, the sharp images...what more can I say? He is a point and shoot man, and his pics are better than mine! When you see the pics you would think that the settings were changed, or maybe the pic was photo-shopped...not with this camera. Power it on, point the camera and snap the pic....thats it! Its the perfect in your pocket or purse camera. Great for adults and kids. The price couldn't be beat and I got free shipping from Amazon....it just doesn't get any better than that! ****I took pics of snowflakes falling from the sky yesterday....picture perfect-looked like I photo-shopped them in!! ****
GET THIS CAMERA!

"A huge disappointment - image quality is appalling"
I received this camera for Christmas and was very excited upon reading all the specs on the box. The pictures come out beautifully on the LCD, but once you transfer them to the computer, the quality changes. They're ALL inconsistent, even when comparing photos in similar lighting conditions. The best way I can describe the pictures from this camera is like a Monet painting; from far away the image seems just fine, but up close it is a HUGE mess. Lots of blurring, no crispness, graininess, pixelating. I was absolutely appalled. I have a Canon Elph S500 from FOUR years ago that takes better photos than this. Looks like I will be buying another Canon. Huge disappointment. Definitely do your research and look at the image quality to decide if this camera would be acceptable for you. For me, it's not.

"I love this camera!!!"
I received this camera for Christmas from my fiance. The digital camera I was previously using was a 3.2MP, Olympus. Great camera but a little older. The Sony blows it out of the water. It's easy to use and has tons of features. I was a little intimidated by the manual and all the symbols for different features. But the camera has on screen explanations for everything. Battery life is awesome, I'm soooo happy I don't have to keep buying AA's anymore. I can't wait to use this little device during our spring vacation. Best camera I've ever owned by far!
