I LOVE THIS CAMERA! [Posted on 2002-06-24]
I got this camer for Christmas. It is awesome. It comes with great software, looks sharp, takes great looking shots, lets you edit them on the camera, although it is hard to see thru the viewfinder, the LCD works great. The Camera has its own little OS and it is fun to use. the zoom is nice and smooth and it can even take horrible quality videos. Well, they are ok, but the pictures look MUCH better The LCD is clear and sharp, and all of the buttons feel great,and arent hard to use. I highly recomend buying the kit with the recharger, rechargable battery, and carrying case! And i also got a 128mb memory stick which works great. I have never filled the stick up with pictures, so I am very pleased with the capacity. On the other hand, the 4mb it comes with leaves you wanting more. I like the Lens Cover, but remeber to close it when you are done! I tried a Polaroid PDC640CF before this and was not satasfied woth 640x480 this has well over 2 times that! It works great, takes great pics, transfers them fast, etc. NOW JUST BUY IT!!
Great starter camera [Posted on 2002-12-10]
If using regular AA batteries you're camera will run out of life before your disk runs out of space, try getting rechargables. I did have a problem with Sony's product warranty and the extended warranty my husband purchased as well though. Apparently I will need to get myself another camera because neither policy will cover condensation (or liquid damage as they put it). The repair for this exceeds the purchase price of the camera and I won't pay it. Be careful using this and all digital cameras if you are going to use it in different temparatures. Don't take the camera from a warm room to the outside if its wintertime. Use the ziploc baggie they suggest in the manual if you can remember!
Low priced, but expensive [Posted on 2003-02-06]
This camera takes decent pictures, but is a real battery hog. You'll need to buy rechargeables or buy the battery pack offered by Sony. The memory stick supplied with the camera won't give you many pictures, so you'll also need to buy a bigger capacity stick.
The LCD screen is fragile and easily broken. If that happens, you just have a paperweight.
blurry close ups [Posted on 2003-11-11]
great little camera for taking people pictures,but if your an ebayer and need close ups of small items.like watches,forget it,it gets close to item but very blury....
Just OK there are probably better alternatives. [Posted on 2004-01-29]
I primarily bought this camera to put photos of stuff on e-bay. The camera is ok for this use, but I found the OEM Sony batteries to be unreliable and expensive. We got the error warning mentioned by others and the same cold reception from Sony. I warn others considering this or any digital camera to make sure it does not use a proprietary battery. For the cost of the Sony battery we were able to buy a charger and 4 NiMH 2200 mAh batteries. The camera cycles faster with the flash and it appears that we get more photos per charge, plus we have a back up set. I don't see a down side with the non-sony battery. On the otherhand it takes pretty good pictures and its easy to cheat the shutter for special effects. We get very good close ups, but I always use a tripod for these and I bracket shoot at a few distances. After all there is no film, why not take several shots and pick the best one?
