TOO MANY BLURRY PICTURES! [Posted on 2006-03-24]
Good color BUT NOT reliable to take clear pictures. TOO MANY BLURRY PICTURES! Thinking about class action on Sony as there are a bunch out there that have the same issue.
VERY disappointed.
Great Camera - Vivid outdoor pics [Posted on 2006-06-12]
Did alot of research before buying - had the camera 2+ years and it takes awesome and vivid outdoor pics but indoor tends to be a little "warm" (read orange/reddish) in auto mode. No dial to change settings - you have go into a menu system. Has good flash and takes good 640X480 movies (with sound) limited in time only by memory space. Only complaint is recharge time between flash shots - 3 to 4 seconds. I was surprised to see that it is still avaialable.
pretty good over all [Posted on 2006-08-12]
a good first camera, it is cheap and has good simple to use auto modes. The macro mode was a bit disapointing, it is difficult to get clear pictures with alot of detail but not imposible. low light videos or pictures with out a flash tend to have a red tint to them. It is a bit large for the features it offers, and the softwear which came with it was not very user friendly. I have been pleased with it for pictures of family and friends. pointing and shooting usualy yields good clear pictures which I have been able to enlarge to 16" by 22" with no distortion. The video mode works well for capturing fun moments, but most be taken in a well light area.
Good camera but similar issues [Posted on 2006-10-20]
I've had this camera for three years now. I've experienced all the same issues as many folks here. The strange power off/with lens open, then reversing. The only thing I've done is immediately remove the batteries after turning on the camera while pushing the lens in. it works!
I have a suggestion for those of you with blurry pictures. This camera has 5-6 settings for the quality of photos. If you press the trash icon button while in regular mode (do not have an image up screen) the menu for image size will appear. These are jgs folks. They are pixel based and can be very small. Also jpgs are meant for screen viewing, not printing, so you need to boost them up in order to get decent prints from these images. If you want clear images..please try to use the highest setting possible in order for the camera to record as many pixels of information. I use the highest setting 3.1M (other options are 2.8M, 2.0, 1.2 and VGA (which is the lowest and will give you terribly blurry picutres). It's quite easy to mistakenly press this button and change the image size, (this happened to us once while on vacation..terribly frustrating when I discovered what should have been beautiful, mmemorable photos were all at a low resolution.) Please give this a try
I'm all for class action suit vis a vis the battery chomping and lens issues. It's uncanny how often this has happened to so many people.
My Review of the Sony Digital Camera Cyber-shot 3.2MP [Posted on 2007-01-23]
I gave this camera to my children to take pictures of my grandchildren who live in another country. They post them to a site on the internet, and I can see them as well as order paper copies. The camera works well, and we are all pleased with it.
