Astounding [Posted on 2006-12-08]
I received this camera as a present from my mom. It has to be probably the best camera that I have ever owned. It is wonderful because you can just point and shoot with faith that the image will come out clear as day. Also the movies are impecable quality. As a photographer this camera is great to carry around in order to just grab life as it happens. It is light weight, easy to handle and even easier to use.
with stood the test of time... [Posted on 2007-01-11]
I have had this camera for 2 or 3 yrs. now... let me start of saying this is an excelent camera... i love it.. if i had to go back and do it all over again i would have still chosen this camera... now i will tell you the problems that i have encountered...
The Flash- this camera has a red eye reduction feature that works wonderfully but, the flash goes off about four times before the picture is taken and if it is a posed picture and the subject doesn't realize this about the flash then they are likely to move by the time the picture takes...
Lens- about 6 months ago the lens started getting stuck i took the camera apart and blew all the stuff out of it... after that it started working again... about 4 or 5 months ago the there was something wrong with the focus.. all i had to do was zoom in just a little bit before i took the picture and it would focus just fine...
let me end by saying most of the problems that i encountered with this camera where about 98% self inflicted by me... this camera has made several trips to New Orleans... a few dozens falls from fairly high places.. i used it outside on a front porch to take some pictures and video of hurricane Katrina.. (live in south Ms)... but this camera is still going...
Camera malfunctioned and is out of warranty [Posted on 2007-01-30]
I've owned this camera for about 3 1/2 years and it is now malfunctioning. The LCD shows a horizontal purple bar across the middle and the screen flickers. Moreover, my photos come out with thin red, blue, and green lines which ruined my Christmas pictures. I'm not heavy user of the camera. It was never dropped (I took care of it like it was made of glass). It was never kept in humid conditions. And no, it's not part of the CCD image issue. I will say that I did find Sony support helpful.
When the camera was working, it drained batteries quickly (even the special digital AA ones). I thought the shutter speed was a tad slow which caused me to miss quite a few shots. When I did capture the shot, I was pleased with quality of the photo.
I'm in the market for a new camera and I will look at Canon or Olympus.
A word of caution on store warranties: I bought an extended 3 year warranty through the big name electronics store I purchased it at. Be aware about the warranty if you decide to purchase one! It was 3 years from the shortest of Sony's labor warranty (3 months) or parts warranty (1 year). The salesrep neglected mention that important piece of information, so I had 3 year 3 month coverage; not 4 year coverage as I would led to believe.
Decent camera, Bonus feature [Posted on 2007-02-20]
This camera is good for point and shoot. Low zoom power, but makes up for it by being compact enough to carry around.
More importantly, for those interested in infrared photography or IR + visible photography, this camera is a 10 minute project to disassemble and modify. 10 screws, swap out the ir filter and you're set.
Reliable quality [Posted on 2008-03-04]
I've had this camera for 4 years, and it is still taking great pictures. The quality of the pictures is great, even better than two newer cameras that I have.
