Rating: Summary: A true gem, but the battery thing is kind of a hassle Review: Just got one for xmas and I really love it. Out of the box it has everything you need to get started. With one exception, the batteries supplied with it last for about 5 minutes with the LCD display on. the bottom line is this is truely a magnificent buy for the price. The size and versatility of the camera are just the ticket for getting started with digital photography.
Rating: Summary: A Great Camera for a Light User! Review: This camera really is a great buy for the price, considering you are just a light user, and not a photo enthusiast. The 1.3 Megapixels may be enough for people e-mailing pictures, and maybe printing out small 4x6's, but anything else, and the results start to get extremely choppy. This camera is very user friendly, althought the Zoom was not too good. When zoomed, either optical or digital, quality changes dramaticlly when being printed. This quality difference can also be noticed when e-mailing pictures or putting them on your computer. Sony does however make the camera full of features, including Movie Mode and A Preview Mode. A lot of cameras only have a shooting mode and you can only preview the last photo shot. This camera, however, is different. I bought it about 6 months ago. Now, though, with camera prices at a all time low, I wouldn't buy a 1 Megapixel camera, only 1 2/3 or higher. But this camera does make sense for the buyer who is short on money and needs it for Light use!
Rating: Summary: blurry close ups Review: This camera takes decent pictures, but is a real battery hog. You'll need to buy rechargeables or buy the battery pack offered by Sony. The memory stick supplied with the camera won't give you many pictures, so you'll also need to buy a bigger capacity stick. The LCD screen is fragile and easily broken. If that happens, you just have a paperweight.
