Digital camera Review: Good Camera
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very good camera for a gift. My issue with it is that it does not come with the memory stick and the memory stick for this camera is a special one.
The pictures are great and the camera is easy to use.
Thanks.

Digital camera Review: Good little "back-up" camera
Summary: 4 Stars
Not long ago, my trusty "old faithful" Canon stopped working and I began to shop around for a new camera. The newer models don't have some of the nice features that "old faithful" had, and so I was frustrated... could I do without a viewfinder? Besides, I knew the controls of "old faithful", and didn't want to have to go through the learning curve again. Then, miraculously, I learned that the issue my camera was experiencing was covered by Canon - for free - even though it was long out of warranty. So, I sent it off, and was told promptly that it was indeed going to be fixed.
Sorry... that's a long lead-up to my view on this Sony. I had a couple of events that I didn't want to attend without a camera, and so when I spotted this Sony on sale recently, I snapped it up as a "back-up" camera, to use while my other camera was being repaired, and to have for those occasions when I really didn't want a larger camera, or when there was any chance the camera might be at risk (bike riding, for example). I got the camera home (with the 2G card I had purchased), and was delighted to see that the controls were very similar to those on the Canon. The learning curve was very short. I love the large LCD screen (good thing, since there is no viewfinder), and although there aren't as many shooting modes as I have had on the Canon, these are certainly sufficient for a casual photo shooter! Even better... when you set a mode, the LCD shows you the selection you have made (nice for those whose eyesight isn't what it used to be). And there are some new features that "old faithful" didn't have... stabilization, face recognition, etc. I found the close-up feature to be more difficult that "old faithful" because it had a shorter range of focus, and was more sensitive to movement (which, in a tiny camera, is always an issue). I noticed the problems others have commented on regarding flash-outs, white, colors, etc., and after playing with the camera I can say that these problems can be overcome - you just have to know your camera better.
So... long story short is that I think this is an excellent little camera for a "back-up"!! In fact, there may be times I'll reach for this instead of "old faithful" (which has been returned to me in perfect condition!!). If you're a first-time digital camera user, this is a good choice... you'll learn lots as you use it and review the manual periodically. It's at a price-point that makes it a great gift for graduates or special birthdays or other celebrations, and it fits in your pocket... easily.
Digital camera Review: Good, cheap camera. But don't drop it!
Summary: 3 Stars
I used this camera for almost a year and I liked it very much considering the price. My one big complaint, however, is poor construction. I dropped it once, from about 2.5 feet, and it never worked again. To have it fixed by Sony costs almost as much as a brand new camera. So, in short, it is a decent camera, but it is not sturdy and is definitely "throw-away" if it's damaged at all.
