Summary: Just got it...
Review: ...and it rules. It has everything I could ever want and more. Everyone says you need more than the 16MB included memory, not me... it's just enough if you're able to upload the pics to your computer each time the card is full. For this price, you got to get this camera... the picture quality is awesome.

Summary: I really dont want to say the bad news...
Review: All good has been said about this camera, now read one bad thing about it. As much as I want to give a five, I only gave it a four because of the very faulty USB connection to the PC. It makes my PC (WinXP Pro, P4) to crash everytime I connect the camera via the supplied USB cable. It says in the manual to disconnect other USB devices for it to work. But eventhough I do this it still causes my PC to crash sometimes. If Sony fix this problem, then this camera would really be the best compact, feature-packed digital camera for me.

Summary: Good one
Review: I actually bought two of this camera. I got one as a gift for my family first and had to get another one for myself. It got all the feature you want, both closely zoom and wide angle. Battery life lasts reasonably long. I can go for a day trip without recharging. Memory card is definitly too small. Recommend buy extra. You might have to be a little patience when processinging picture from camera to printer but i don't think it's any easier with other camera. It's probably not for a professional photogarpher but for everybody else, I think it's perfect.

Summary: Great Camera From A Great Company
Review: I am always impress with Sony's products. The camera works like magic. Crisp and clear pictures when taking pictures outdoors. Indoor pictures suffers a bit but the camera overcome this problem with the white balance and over exposure feature. When using the Night Scene feature, recommend to use a tripod as the camera takes some time to capture the photo and any shaking will cause the photo to be distorted, unless you like artistic special lighting photos. There is also a quick review button, so you can check out if your shot is good.

There are 3 types of Movie mode, first being the high resolution with sound, yes sound, mode. Second is the burst clip mode and third is the multi frame mode which allow you to take pictures of different scene, think of it like a moving GIF file that changes pictures.

I had developed some of my photos into prints with Kodak, i must say the unedited prints are sharp. Of course you can always edit the photos on our computer before sending for printing. Being 2Mega pixle, there are some limitation to print size, maximum of 6R with 1600X1200 resolution as recommended by Kodak and Fujifilm.

Overall this is a great camera and 1 of the other reason i bought this camera is that it comes with a marine pack, so you can bring the camera to all your underwater diving trips.

Summary: Fantastic Camera
Review: I got mine from bestbuy for about 300 bucks and I'm really satisfied with it, 2 megapixels are just enough to make a good quality photo without having to buy an aditional hard drive for all them pictures (if this is your first digicam trust me you gonna make hundrets of them). Its easy to use point and shoot camera but it still has quite few features and settings that will make that special shot just perfect. Its small metal body fits to any pocket so you can take it with you anywere. A biger memory stick is a must, trust me it will fill up fast.
Not to long ago I also purchased an LCM-PX carying case which is also great, it's small, fits the cmera perfectly, you can ware it on your belt like a beeper or a celphone and when the oportunity comes you'll never miss that great shot. I cary mine every where I go, not only when I go on a trip.
The two things that made me buy this purticular camera are: #1 it's made by SONY, In my life I owned many electronic gadgets and sory to say most of them had some kind of a defect or broke down after a regular use, not so with SONY products, I had them for longes time and they take on any kind of abuse I throw at them. #2 for a tiny camera like this SONY packs it with all kinds of features other cameras don't have like Super HAD CCD (an image sensor that makes a 2 megapixel camera seem more like a 4), or a AF Iluminator (helps out focusing in less them perfect liting conditions), and ofcours SONY has the best movie mode out there. So stop thinking about it and just get it, for your self or as a gift to others (trust me they won't be disapointed)

Summary: great camera
Review: I have always trusted Sony products and this camera is another example why. I looked around for a digital camera for about a month and I could not find one of this quality with this price tag that included so many features. If you want a great point and shoot camera with great features, then get this one.

Summary: pretty good little camera...
Review: other than the lens distorts slightly, which is bad for me since I use it to document paintings, which are square. My picture frames always have curved edges with this camera. The picture quality is great and the camera is easy to use and cutely small. If you are over 50, make sure you have your glasses handy to read the really fine print!

Summary: Superb! Highly recommended.
Review: This camera has it all, an for a great price! Over 2.0 megapixels for some awesome quality, a built in battery and charger that lasts for a minimum of 60 minutes with the LCD on, 16 MB memory stick, USB interface, all operating system support, video capaturing, 6X zoom ,ect ect ect. Great for Professional Business such as real estate appraisals, and other purposes for mass use. Highly recommended!

Summary: great camera
Review: This camera is magnificent. I puchased this from BestBuy and have been loving it ever since! Mine came with a 16 MB memory stick... A memory stick is the type of media that the camera uses to store the pictures. Other cameras use media like compactflash, etc. Memory sticks are definately the way to go however. Most new sony products are starting to have memory stick readers (even the televisions/cable boxes!), so you can have picture/slide shows! Its a great time to join the sony family.

Now, about the camera... This camera is top notch! Honestly, I love just about every feature this camera offers! I ordered mine with the sony Cybershot starter kit which came with a really nice camera bag, a memory stick holder and an extra infolithium battery!

The camera uses rechargable infolithium battery packs (which are light and tiny!!) and charge inside the camera! Simply plug in the camera, and it charges...and MUCH quicker that the other clunkier sony's charge the standard batteries. I do wish that they offered an external battery charger though, but perhaps they will in the future...

The LCD display is fantastic in low light, bright light, sunlight, etc. Camera is easy to operate, lasts long on each battery charge (at LEAST an hour being on...) The quality is superb. The side has a spring loaded door which has the battery and memory stick behind it. If the door swings open by mistake (which hasn't happened to me yet), the battery is held in by a strong clip, and the memory stick is "clicked" into the slot. Top notch design! Even on the bottom, the tripod mount is metal unlike other cheap cameras with plastic mounts (which strip easily!)...

I highly recommend you purchase this camera. You will love it as a great point and shoot camera with enough options to have fun with (movies with sound, and camera effects!) The 2 Megapixel resolution is perfect. 4x6's are crystal clear, and 8x10's look quite nice. Sure you could get 3, 4, or even 5 megapixel cameras, but why waste the money and need larger media for all that extra space the pictures take when for normal printouts of 4x6, 2 megapixels works just fine? Hopefully this review helps those of you who were sinking in a sea of camera choices like I was. You won't regret purchasing this camera. You'll fall in love the second you turn it on.
