Summary: Great camera
Review: - The software is very easy to install and works easily with the camera. All you need is a USB port.
- Zoom and focusing are both great and I have gotten some professional-looking shots, even though this is not the camera to get if you are going to be consistently shooting from a distance.
- I have had my camera for nearly two years and I am admittedly not very careful with my electronic devices, but it has stood up to my relative abuse.
- The only complaint that I have is that the view screen recently stopped working and is now only showing black, but I am willing to shell out the money to get it fixed because I love this camera and I believe it could last a few more years.
- The camera is not heavy at all. You can easily carry it on your wrist if you have the strap attached, but I would recommend a carrying case so that it does not get scratched.The colors translate beautifully with this camera. I love taking pictures of sunsets because of how the camera seems to enhance their beauty. I would definitely recommend this camera if you are a first-time digital camera buyer who is looking for something easy to operate without a lot of fancy settings. This camera has all the basics and more. I would only make one suggestion for the buyer -- buy a bigger memory card when you buy your camera. I bought a 64 MB card when I bought my camera and it allows me to take and store over 300 pictures at the lowest pixel setting. I bring my smaller memory card as a backup. Great for vacations when you may not have a computer around to transfer your pictures.

Summary: Last yr's lens, this yr's electronics.
Review: As you would expect from a Sony camera, it has good picture quality in daylight. The night shots are not so good since it has only a 2 sec twilight mode. And the lens isn't very bright either. (P72/P32 have brighter F2.8 lens) Battery life is excellent and LCD screen is good. World charger and NiMH batteries are included. Check out the specs of this model carefully, its different from P72/P32. This one is 2in thick, has old & slow 2x zoom lens and is bulky. Its a shame Sony tries to sell 3MP/2x instead of popular combination of 2MP/3x. Not to mention the extra cost of propreitary memory sticks compared to CF/SD cards. There are so many better camera's in market than this for a lower cost, I don't see any reason for this to sell.

Summary: CAMERA BROKE - Piece of JUNK
Review: Camera broke after having it for only a few months. The lens cover is stuck half open and half closed. When I turn it on or off it just vibrates and returns to that half & half position. I haven't even used it a dozen times. Called Sony to have it fixed and they said that it would cost over $100 just to look at it....I will never buy another Sony again. Very disappointed.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: Great camera! How ever two minor things wrong with it......One, The 16MB memory stick that comes with it is too small. Second, the 2x Optical Zoom is not powerful enough for excellent close ups. However it does take excellent pics!

Summary: Great Camera - but breaks easily and OUTRAGEOUS repair Fees
Review: I bought two of these cameras as gifts. The first one broke after less than a weeks use and took the repair department 3 months to return the camera. The second one broke just after the warranty expired and Sony informed me that it is $150 plus shipping and handling just to look at it. I will never buy a Sony digital camera again and advise anyone looking to buy a digital camera in general to reconsider. I also have a Canon and their service is even more expensive.

Summary: broken in 7 months! Hardly ever used! Sony says tough luck!
Review: I have owned this camera for less than a year. I have actually really enjoyed owning it. Very easy to use, nice features. I have always been impressed with the pictures. About 5 days ago my wife turned it on and it started making a loud clicking noise and flashing an error code. I did a little google search and it turns out that quite a few people have had mechanical failures with this model and it has to be sent back for repair. Well, if you are outside the 90 day warranty period you are responsible for labor, and Sony charges at a flat rate of $140 for anything...hmm. Almost the cost of a new camera. This is simply outrageous. Highway robbery. I am having serious thoughts about just ditching the camera and going non-Sony because of this experience.
Read around at some of the problems people have had with this camera before buying - and Sony's unwillingness to take responsibility for it. That is my advise.
