Summary: Web Design
Review: I got the camera because it looks cool. It turns heads every time i take a picture. It's easy to use, and great for web-work. It's smaller than i thought, about 2.4" high.The battery lasts about 1hr, and with the 8meg stick you can take more than 60 pics at 640x480. You can take 5,10,or 15second mpeg movies with it, if you're using it for the internet, you don't need much more than that. (till the real broadband gets here) The picture does get distorted in the dark, but it has several features to fix that if you take time to read the manual. It would be nice if it came with a carry case, and had a steady shot option. Overall it's a cool camera.

Summary: Show off your pictures with this baby!
Review: I have bought this camera in October 2000 and have taken literally 1000's of pictures. With the help of the superb Zeiss lens I have managed to impress everyone seeing my pictures. Some of them are simply stunning. I should start entering competitions with these photos. Note : use the spot meter for best results and remember to adjust the LCD brightness for different light conditions. That will enhance your pictures drastically because sometimes the display looks dark while it's not. I would say rather spend your money on a camera with a great lens like this one (because that's where the picture enters the camera) instead of one with fancy 5 megapixel resolution. My pictures print out virtually like a film camera's pictures. Especially 2240x1680 pixels on a 4x6 print! I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great curves and handling
Review: I like the camera very much. What is especially nice about it is the size. Yes it is rather large, but that is a plus when you are a large handed person and this is one of the most comfortable cameras that I have tried out to handle. The buttons aren't microscopic and the lens makes a pleasant handhold also. Smaller is not always better.
The one thing I do not care for is the response time when taking a picture and also when viewing pictures that have been taken. The camera also tends to get a little testy when you try to do close ups.
Otherwise, lovely.

Summary: Results from this Sony Camera Truly Colorful
Review: I purchased my Sony DSC-F505V Cybershot Digital Camera last March. Since then I have taken at least 50 photos per week and have kept most of them on the hard drive of my Apple G-4 . Pictures of sunrises and sunsets are automatically clear and breath taking. Pictures in the macro mode of insects , flowers, and other close ups are clear and beautiful.
Everyone comments on the color portrayed in the pictures. This camera is great on getting the natural colors correct.
I enjoy the possiblity of being able to grip the barrel of the camera . Fingers never get in front of the lense. The 10X Carl Zeiss lense has made it possible to get some great pictures of light houses and aircraft. A real pleasure. Although the cost of the camera was a real sacrifice to me, I am so very glad that I purchased this camera to take with me on so many wonderful trips since last March. The camera's features are just perfect for the serious photographer. The pictures that I have are a real treasure to me , clear and colorful and well framed.

Summary: Barbara's Review
Review: I purchased the Sony Cybershot Digital camera and returned it after my first outdoor outing. I agree the lens is the greatest, but on a sunny day without a view finder, I found the camera simple unsatisfactory. Sony made two mistakes. Using their own memory stick and no view finder.

Summary: Wonder Cam
Review: I purchased this camera for my girlfriend, since I know very little about using a camera. What can I say? I find myself using it more everyday. Once I started using the spot meter and exposure controls I was hooked. My pictures come out perfect almost every single time. The camera gives the user control over just about everything. I found the interface to be quite simple. There are even settings that will allow you to shoot ambertone and b&w (amoung other filters). I can't say enough about how much I LOVE this camera.

Summary: Average digital camera
Review: I was not impressed with this digital camera. The images were not very sharp and the color saturations are average at best. I believe there are better values out there.

Summary: Easy to Use, Great Pictures
Review: I'm a photography novice who chose this camera because I wanted: 1. a point and shoot that would make good shutter speed and F-stop decisions for me. 2. a single, high quality lens that telescopes and does wide angle, so I wouldn't have buy or change lenses. 3. excellent picture quality in prints and on screen. 4. an easy to use camera. (I was quickly up to speed on most features after 1 read of the manual and a few experimental pictures.) 5. easy transfer of pictures to the computer. 6. easy to use photo software that comes with the camera. The product excels in all these qualities except #5. Also, I'm glad the battery's rechargeable, and that the lens cap is attached to the camera. I'm deducting the 5th star for 2 reasons: 1. I followed all the instructions in the manual for downloading my pictures and it didn't work. I had to call customer service and be walked through an entirely different procedure not in the instructions. Also, they recommended that I save pictures on my desktop so I won't lose them. She told me other people have had the same downloading difficulty, but I don't know how widespread it is, or if it's been corrected. 2. I had to buy a couple extras to be completely satisfied with this camera: (1) Extra battery because the one that comes with the camera only lasts about an hour. (2) 64 Mb memory stick, because the 8 Mb memory that comes with the camera runs out very quickly. Bottom line: Now that I've troubleshot the downloading problem and bought the extras, I'm very happy with this camera.
