Summary: My first digital and I am very happy.
Review: I purchased this camera and instantly purchased the 128 card to go with it. Within the first day my four-year-old and I were able to take pictures and easily navigate the menus to try different features. I printed my pictures up to 8 x 10 and the photographs have excellent quality.This one is a keeper.

Summary: Low light problems?
Review: I read various reviews of this camera at photography sites and most expressed concern over it's picture quality in low light.From my experience with this camera I never see a problem with that. I think this camera is for people who like super compactness in stuff they carry around and at the same time has decent quality. If you are looking for stunning quality pictures no camera this size can take them. But this one is capable of taking pictures good enough for an average dad and mom who love taking simple, yet decent quality pictures. I took over 300 pictures and there are only a few of them I can complain. If I have to buy all over again, this one will be an easy pick for it size, quality, and style. Oh! don't forget to get the camera bag(Model: Sony LCMPX) specially made by Sony for this camera. It's a perfect compliment to this camera and has great style.

Summary: Well done - a keeper
Review: I'm a snapshot guy - not a photographer. I have 3 children and love taking pictures. This camera is totally appropriate for my needs. You don't need 6 letters before your name to set the thing up. I set everything to auto. Pictures are crystal clear, the zoom range is surprisingly good, the flash does its' job without leaving my pictures dark or having them look like they were taken during a nuclear explosion. I have meaty hands and have no problems using the menus/controls. The buttons look small but are well placed and easy to navigate. The size of the camera makes it a non-issue to carry. I now keep my camera in my shoulder bag all the time. It's no longer a specialy item. You will want to buy 3 extra things:
128 MB Sony memory stick (Yes, over priced - get over it because the camera is worth it)
Extra battery
Camera case

Summary: Great Shots and Video Excess.
Review: I've been using this camera on my travels as well as at home, and I love it. I'm a shutterbug and enjoy the point and click type cameras, but this camera lets my photographer roommate manually set just about everything he needs to when he's at the helm. My favorite part is the rediculous amount of video with sound that this baby can record with a 128meg memory stick. I get 90 minutes of video and audio on the one stick. Imagine when/if Sony comes out with 256 or 512MB sticks!

Summary: Tiny Camera w/ Big Features
Review: I've had my camera for over a month now and almost everything about it is incredible. The picture quality is outstanding and you have a range of resolution choices. The camera is very small...just smaller than the size of my hand, and features including picture editing on the camera(like zooming in and cutting on that zoomed-in part) is handy. You can also record mpeg movies(about 3 mins. w/ a 128mb memory stick), but you don't have light from the camera while recording. The battery time is over 1 hour fully charged, which is more than enough with the memory they give you. I purchased another battery because I'm one of those that has to have everything perfect.
Only cons w/ the camera is that it only includes a 16mb memory stick(which only takes 8 pictures on the highest resolution), so I purchased a 128mb one. The wait-time between shots could be shorter(about 5 secs.), and the zoom could be higher(6x optical). Lastly, they do NOT provide a program to do more enhancing or editing. My uncle has a Canon and it came w/ a good editing feature program(photostitch) that will combine a number of pictures together and form 1 big one. Its good for taking big pictures/big families and panaromic shots.
Overall, I'm impressed with the size and features of this camera, but the price may be too steep for 1st-timers.

Summary: A great consumer level digital camera for any household
Review: If you are just an amateur photographer that is either finally switching from analog to digital or just want a decent camera to take on family vacations or school projects, this is a great camera. It is small, lightweight, and does just about anything you could possibly need it to do. It won't take pictures of hummingbirds feeding across a forest bed, but it will take a decent photo of the grand canyon. The quality of the 3x optical zoom is really good, but the picture is sacrificed slightly as you try to artifically enhance it with the digital zoom. The battery life is good enough to take on extended trips from your hotel or on a hike without having to carry around a charger or spare batteries. If you plan on taking lots of high quality large photos, you will need to get a larger memory stick (64 MB will work, 128 MB even better), but the memory stick it comes with will be enough to photograph your child's birthday party as long as you download the photos onto your computer afterwards. At 4 MegaPixels, this camera will pick up individual hairs on a persons head and it will even be able to clearly define a flea in the hair. There are 5 MegaPixel cameras out there, but at the consumer level there is really no point in spending the money on one (5 MP won't come in handy unless you are student taking pictures through a microscope or a telescope) All around, while Sony's camera lenses may not compare with Canon or Olympus, Sony makes up for it with their superior knowledge of how to make a great consumer digital device and turn it into a decent digital camera. It is a great value for the price.

Summary: Small, attractive and yet very POWERFUL!!!!
Review: If you are looking for a digital camera that produces a quality not just for a website purpose, this is the one for you. You can have it for fun or for professional use. It's indeed light-weight, easy to operate, and give you a very sharp picture quality. You can use it as well to produce a short MPEG movies and share it with your friends. To make a better use of it, you should buy extra battery life and a memory card. Indeed it is a great buy!!!

Summary: Tiny camera packs a power punch!!
Review: No words can describe the beauty, simplicity, and power of this little miracle device! I've been using it for about 9 Problem-free months. This camera is super for digital snapshots. Connectivity to the PC is simple via USB. It uses a proprietary Sony MemoryStick and a tiny rechargeable removable battery pack (which you can buy on ebay for cheap). This camera has many functions that even a die-hard photographer will go nuts over: EV, aperture focus, white-balance, spot meter, iso, picture quality, image size, sharpness, flash brightness, & record mode ie video, email, voice & more! I'm the dummy so I keep most things on default, and it still works well. It also features red-eye reduction, flash on-off, and video recording (but the quality is very poor so I advise from using it) You can choose from among 5 picture sizes:
2272x1702 (4 megapixels)
2272(3:2) -- I call this the widescreen, my favorite setting
1600x1200 (2 MP mode, quality like 4MP, use if cramped for space)
1280x960 (quality is ok, use for auction pix and shrinking later)
640x480 (quality not so good, for email or low bandwidth use) All in all, in today's day in age, I still think that 4 megapixels is overkill for an ordinary Joe. 2 Megapixels is the best bang for the buck today. But if you're into taking high quality pictures, want ease of use, want a decent fair price, AND want bragging rights, then this camera is for you!
