Summary: Sharp, but slow
Review: Camera is good overall, but very slow. I am a semi-professional Photographer and I primarily use this camera for family candids and 2 out of 5 images is blurry and/or a picture of a child's head, etc. The camera lens is very sharp (has a Zeiss lens) when it wants to be, but the camera is slow. The delay definitely gets in the way and I find that half of my pictures are of the children's head due to them moving, etc. I do not recommend this camera for family candids or portraits. At the same time, this camera is great when objects don't move and takes amazing close-ups of still-lifes and nature shots.

Summary: Very slow working
Review: I had this camera one year ago, but sold it away by half price. S85 works very slow, and it's impossible to made very quick shot - it's impossible to cath the moment. Also, this camera is very unhermetic - I found a wool nite or hair between lenses - and do not have reason, how it get there. Now I have F717 - the right choose. Forget about S85 - it's one big mistake of Sony.

Summary: great pictures and versatility
Review: I've owned this camera for about 6 mos now, and I'm completely in love with it. I originally learned photography on a standard camera - and this does nearly everything i ever did with it - and its digital. im very happy with the interface, and with a 128 MB memorystick, you're going to be able to take 65 high quality (fine at 2278x1704) pics. you can fit ~400 at 640x480. i would strongly reccomend this camera for the price

Summary: Great CAMERA
Review: I'm a film/video student that decided to buy a digital camcorder. After doing some research and cutting my list of 10 cameras to 5 then three (Canon, sony, nikon), I couldn't decide which to get, the nikon or the sony. I picked the sony because I found the best deal on ebay. If you don't know that much about photo, GET A 3.2 PIXEL, or at least a more automatic camera. This has many manual features and is not for the amatuer photographer. I have found everything with this camera great. The only thing I would say is that you'll have to buy a better memory card (more memory) and have patience to learn how the white balance and everything worlks.

Summary: EXCELLENT CAMERA
Review: I HAVE HAD THE CAMERA FOR A WHILE AND HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. THE CAMERA IS EASY TO USE EVEN FOR A BEGINNER LIKE ME. IT ALSO TAKES CLEAR PICTURES. THE ONLY THINK I DISLIKE IS THE PRICE OF THE MEMORY STICK.

Summary: Great Quality
Review: I have had this camera for about 6 months. Great quality. I am not a professional, so I have not used all the features, but the pictures that I have taken are very sharp. I am very impressed by the batterey life as well. I had a smaller camera, but I misplaced it. This is large enough that I will not.

Summary: Incredible quality results from this Cybershot
Review: I've had this one for seven months now, this is my fifth Sony digital camera, I've loved each one, but systematically upgraded in resolution (1, 2, 3, 3 again, now this 4 megapixel). The quality of the photos continues to amaze me. I've taken shots in complete darkness, only relying on the AF illuminator to view my subjects, the flash makes the photo look like it was taken in daylight. The size of the LCD makes reviewing photos easy for older relatives, they don't have to squint like some of the other P series Cybershots.The memory stick that comes with it, a 16 mb is not enough if you plan on taking good resolution photos. Invest in a 128 mb, you can usually find them for under $50. The battery life is solid, I always take shots with the LCD on, and I still get enough life to take 300 shots before needing a charge. My father-in-law is using a Nikon Coolpix 885, and is going to get rid of it to buy a DSC-S85. The Nikon has horrible indoor quality, the flash is weak, and it has a pinkish red hue to most shots. Though now discontinued, we found him a DSC-S85 from Circuit City where they searched the company-wide inventory to find a store who had it in stock. Circuit City has been the best retailer for my needs, their staff is always friendly and they don't jam that extended warranty down your throat like Best Buy does. I was tempted to look into the new DSC-V1, but I don't really think 5 megapixel is necessary for anyone who prints 8 x 10's as the largest size. Also, at $699, that's a bit pricey compared to the $449 for the DSC-S85 (if you're lucky enough to find any more). I've always been a Sony fan, and this camera will make any photographer get hooked on Sony products. Go buy this camera!

Summary: The Camera!
Review: Not one heavily into photography, this camera surpassed my expectations tenfold! A must have is the larger memory stick, THEN you can get as adventurous as the imagination allows. Detail? With 4.1 megapixels NOTHING escapes capture! Fine detail especially when you set the resolution high. Just compliment this camera with a good bubblejet photo printer and you can rival any professional easily. Notwithstanding the camera allows the pro to get technical with the desired results. Price? Definitely worth it! If your budget can don't quibble; just do it.
