Summary: Beautiful images but...
Review: the ergonomics of the camera is what kills me. You will never be able to use one hand. Proprietary media is another minus for me. It really restricts you on your creativity to store bigger files. At least there should have been a CF slot together with the memory stick. The battery is also proprietary and be ready to pay a premium for accessories because that is the middle name of Sony, to charge a premium for accessories.

Summary: One of the best on market
Review: This camera is simple one of the best on market. You are receiving a lot of options, a great color and good pictures with low ligth. I used it for my vacations on Spain and it was just perfect for any situation. The best is what you get for what you pay. if you are looking a good camera this is the one.

Summary: Excellent and Easy To Use
Review: My husband and I purchased this camera a few months ago for a vacation to the mountains. We had so much fun shooting tons of picutres. The picture quality was excellent and we loved the zoom and shutter features. The Auto focus is very fast. Even taking pictures in a moving car.
The picture of the camera to me made the camera look huge. So we went to a local store and checked it out. Was smaller to me than the picture implied. Even tho it is a bigger camera than most.
I agree with the other reviewers that More thought should have been put into the user manual, and a larger memory stick and carrying case should have come with the camera.
Altho they are available separately.
I would highly reccomend this camera to anyone wanting to take excellent digital pictures.

Summary: Great buy
Review: My husband bought this camera right after our wedding in March of this year, and so far we've take over a 1000 pictures. Every single picture has turned out great, even the unfocused ones! The camera is quite versatile - it allows for autofocus and a great range of zoom, and it also allows for manual focusing with the whole fstop contraption, for ultra focused targets. The color is excellent, and it remains one of our best buys in the last couple of years. At first I was concerned over the size, as it is quite a bit larger than the slim digital cameras that are so popular today. However, he carried it everywhere we went, and it really won me over. This camera really is worth it's weight, and the price though high, is justified. If you are in the market for a high-quality professional style camera, look at this model! We've even started critiquing the photos from our reception, and wish our photographer had used a camera as good as ours. Check it out!

Summary: Great semi-professional camera
Review: Pros: Excellent quality. Exceptional feature list.
Cons: Not good as your first digital camera. It is big and heavy. No matter what this camera will give you an excellent picture quality.
If you don't mind the size...It is one of the best cameras on the market.

Summary: picture perfect!
Review: Wow, what a great camera! I spent quite a lot of time looking at digital cameras before investing in this one. I've always had SLRs and I've had my own darkroom before, so this was a step in the other direction. The camera itself is a little bulky and the lens makes it a bit cumbersome, but it more than makes up for this with the zoom ability and picture quality- it's the perfect camera for outdoor and wildlife enthusiast because of the amazing lens. It makes you look like a professional photographer. It takes great indoor shots, too, and is very true to color. There are so many functions, you really have to try it out at home with the instruction manual for a bit before going out or you'll end up frustrated. Once you get a feel for all the buttons and functions, it gives you even more creative control then even a good SLR would, plus the video function is great (I got a few great videos that are a couple seconds apiece that I took on a whale watch of the whales surfacing) and the night shot is a lot of fun to play with. I've done some beautiful pictures of the moon and I'm planning on buying an attachment so I can hook the camera up to a telescope and take some astronomy photos. The battery will last for days, which is great if you're on vacation (I haven't had it run out yet). The only gripe I have is about the memory cards. The one it comes with is a joke and will last you all of ten minutes before it's full. I have bought 3 separate 128mb memory cards, which will get me through a week of vacation away from any sort of computer where I can load them up. Then I have to start going through and sacrificing photos that I took to make more room. The memory cards are small and seemingly delicate and a tad difficult to change. I don't think I would be able to do it at night or in the winter with cold hands. Returning to my old ways, I keep the extra memory cards in a plastic film canister, which keeps them safe. When you see the picture quality, it's worth the struggle.

Summary: Amazng camera, simply the best!
Review: The camera is the best.Period. The picture's quality is absolutelly stunning, the lens are unbelievable, the filters from Sony are the best etc. I print many of 8x10 and they as good as any of my prints from medium format 645 Fuji camera, even better. The picture quality is BETTER than 6m Nikon 10d.
Very smart camera. It works perfectly with my nice PowerMac machine. I'm very happy with all that. I really recomend to get the genuine Sony filters, they are perfect.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: This is the first digital camera I've actually preferred over my standard film camera. In fact, so much so, I'm selling my old gear in favor of the digital here. The control I have is amazing, as this camera is so much more than point and shoot. The Sony intelligent battery system is awesome, and enhances the camera's value. It comes with the FM50 M series battery, which provides up to 4 hours of continuous power, depending on usage. But I found it also accepts a FM31 series battery, which is the exact size of the FM50, but has a 30% less power capacity. (The FM31 comes with many of the Sony HandyCam devices, which also means the charger/AC adaptor can be used on both. An elegant solution if you want to interchange batteries and adaptors.) The lens system is first-rate, and provides clear distortion-free pictures. The lens also tilts on the camera body, enabling those over-the-head shots common to public arenas, and while keeping a clear view of the LCD viewfinder. Use 58mm screw-on lens accessories. Memory Stick Pro is also a good investment with this camera, and even the smallest one of these will provide nearly 100 shots at full resolution, and several hundred snapshots at the lower resolutions. DPOF is also supported, if you can find a lab that actually supports it.
