Its very testy [Posted on 2008-07-11]
I got this camera in March. It's my second digital camera, I lost my first one, but had been thinking about getting a new one for awhile. I have been very disappointed with the testiness of this camera. First off, I had it as a bar and someone dropped about 5 drops of a drink on it and the zoom function refused to work. Eventually that cleared up. Then, I brought the camera to the beach and the lens would not stay open-- the camera would read "access, please power on and power off". Apparently you are not supposed to expose the camera to sand. My old camera was at the beach 6 times a summer and never had an issue. I took the camera to the repair shop and after a $25 estimate was told that it would take $125 to fix a $175 camera. Frustrated, I took a can of forced air and managed to clear the sand out of the lens. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this camera. I have had nothing but problems. The picture quality is a bit better, but its not the pain it has caused me.
GREAT camera [Posted on 2008-07-18]
This camera is amazing... for the price you pay the quality is fantastic and I would buy one again and again!
warning [Posted on 2008-07-24]
I bought this camera last december for an incredible price, it's a wonderful camera, worthy the money I paid for it BUT...you need to be warned, today my camera just stopped working for no apparent reason, when I turn on the camera the lens come out and go back at least 3 times, an "access" legend appears on the screen and finally the camera starts beeping and says turn off and turn on again, you can go and see the stored pictures but you can't take pictures anymore.
The reason I am warning you is because while searching ways to fix it I learned that this is a very common problem with this camera, SONY needs to take care of this issue.
Worth the money?...maybe. Worth your time trying to figure out how to download the pictures onto your computer?...no. [Posted on 2008-07-27]
I loved the camera until I couldn't download the pictures onto the computer. Why buy such a great camera for such a great price that wont even let you download the pictures onto your computer?...because all it leads to is great disappointment. I think a great picture phone would even be better than this camera.
So close to perfect !! [Posted on 2008-08-12]
Love this camera! Great pictures, features and usability. The only [huge] problem is the battery pack and not being able to use basic AA batteries. Even with buying 2 battery packs and trying to always keep one charging, we are always running out of battery power at key times, and often the backup battery is not on hand. Missed a lot of great shots that way. Would be the PERFECT camera if you could just use AA batteries.
