Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCS730 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: if i could, i would un-do this purchase and get something else.
Summary: 2 Stars
I read a lot of reviews on amazon.com before i committed to buying a camera. I wanted cheap, but not really cheap (about $150.00) and i didnt want to be bombarded by options I would never be using--i just wanted a simple point, push the button snap shot camera comparable to my 5 megapixle 2005 bit that recently stopped working.
PROS:
This camera looks nice. it's a nice size. the screens big. It's easy to use (i'm sure grandma could handle it).
CONS:
the batteries last 3 hours. Seriously. battery eater extreme.
There is a delay on the picture taking. You push the button it does all this thinking and THEN it takes the picture. Makes for awkward pictures and it, surely, always misses the moment you were looking to catch. This is the worst part of this camera for me.
I've learned to "deal with it" and finesse it so it works ok for me but if i could, i would un-do this purchase and get something else.
