Summary: Great little camera!
Review: After looking into other micro-digital cameras, I thought I would take a chance on the SONY because of it's 2MP and other reviews. I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED.
Positives:
1.The size and weight are impressive and easy to handle.
2.Picture taking clear and simple.
3.5x7 quality is 5 outdoors and 4 indoors.Negatives:
1.No zoom (which I would sacrifice for weight and size).
2.Flash limited in distance. Excellent quality indoor pictures up to 8'. Overall:
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for size, weight, quality and ease of us.

Summary: Simply Irresistible
Review: Amazing 2MP camera, lacks optical zoom, but definately compensates in size. If you want something simple for everyday pictures, the u2o is for you.

Summary: Best among truly tiny cameras, but be sure that's for you
Review: As you can see from some of the reviews, this camera gets great marks as something you can always carry, and shoot quickly with. (The simplicity of the camera reduces the "shutter lag" that is so frustrating on some digicams - many digicams miss the shot you want because of a delay between when you press the shutter and when it captures the image.) With this tiny Sony, you get the benefit of the several generations of Sony design of compact digicams, and Sony's skill at miniaturizing electronics. For some, this really can be the perfect camera. But there are some big compromises, so make sure this is what you want. There's no optical zoom, so it's harder to make the most of the somewhat limited pixel resolution by zooming in just the part of the scene you want. Lack of a viewfinder means you'll drain the battery quicker, and may have trouble seeing what's in the picture in bright sun (which washes out the LCD). And the optics and flash do suffer on a camera this small. So think about what you need. This camera will be a dream for some. But others can get much better quality and lots of useful features - without much more size or cost - in the Sony DSC-P2 or P7.

Summary: Sexiest Camera Ever...
Review: Basically, this product could either get a 3 or a 5. It all depends on the needs of the user. I recently sold my higher performance digital camera (for which i had bought a couple high quality lenses) and replaced it with the Sony dsc-u20. The only reason for anyone to give this camera a bad review is because it does not suit their personal needs. The whole point of this camera is it's size and sexiness. The common complaints: no viewfinder, small lcd, no zoom. These features though (or lack therof for some) are what kept this camera small and sexy. Bottom Line: This camera can fit anywhere and it looks amazing. The picture quality is not bad at all. It boggles the mind to consider the size of this camera, EXCLUDING memory stick and batteries. If you want to take amazing pictures, get a nice 3 or 4 megapixel sony cybershot with optical zoom. Keep in mind though, that you wont use your nice full feature camera half as much as this one, as it is ten times as easy to take with you, and it wont discomfort you one bit to have it in your pocket during any regular activities. Keeping all this in mind, i give this camera a 5. I can take it anywhere with me and take good pictures. I never wanted to take my old digital cam with me anywhere because i had to keep it in a case and carry it externally. This baby can fit anywhere (around your neck even if you feel like looking like a tourist). Guaranteed to be the sexiest camera you've ever seen.

Summary: fragile product + short warrantee = not recommended
Review: During six months of ownership, I didn't handle the camera roughly but I did use it frequently (its size makes it incredibly convenient). Recently, the LCD screen began to take longer and longer before initializing for a new photo. I could immediately replay old photos on the memory chip (so I know the LCD itself was undamaged) but its now gotten to the point where the camera is useless. I tried resetting, I tried a new memory card, new batteries - no good. I went to Sony's cumbersome automated product support site to find my product is out of warrantee and its a flat rate $177 to fix the camera regardless of whats wrong with it. As this is near current retail price, I can only assume they just recycle mine and box out a replacement. For that kind of money I'm buying a replacement... but this time its not going to be a Sony. I'll take my chances with another brand. My old Kodak DC-50 is still going strong years after I bought it... perhaps I'll see what they have to offer.

Summary: Works for what it's for
Review: Get this camera if all you need is some quick snapshot. Pros :
very compat size
uses regular AAA battery
almost instant-on ( if you don't use 128MB memory stick )
lens cover double as power switch Cons :
noisy picture
image not at sharp/detailed as other cameras at the same price
battery drains quickly ( but you can always bring extra pairs of NiMH rechargeable batts )
the batt charger comes with it is awfully slow Conclusion :
Get it , if all you need is a point-and-shoot film camera replacement. Don't forget to buy a faster batt charger and some extra high capacity NiMH batts :)

Summary: Amazing
Review: I am amazed at the high quality of the pictures this little camera takes. I bought it to be my low resolution, take anywhere, point and shoot camera. I was pleasantly suprised by the picture quality. It is much better than other 2 MP cameras I have seen. I don't know if it is the lense, how the camera focuses, or just the software, but the pictures are very sharp. I have also been very suprised at how quickly it starts up. It is ready to take a picture within 1s of turning it on. I have been getting pictures I used to miss while waiting for my old camera to start up. Battery life seems to be good so far too.

Summary: A Fun Camera to have
Review: I bought this camera for my daughter who is 9 yrs old (An expensive present!).. It is more of a fun camera for the quick snap shot which can be downloaded on to your computer by a usb cable.There is no viewing lense just LCD viewer, fits into the palm of your hand, or top pocket . No zoom so not much scope for enlargement and due to a low pixel only suitable for the standard shot(However Sony Quality). A Quality gimmick not sure if it is a great contender..needs higher pixel or zoom.

Summary: A decent little purchase...
Review: I bought this camera mainly for posting pics online, but I also intend to use this camera for my magazine article photos. I wasn't too impressed with the photo quality since the photo compression is pretty high (and it can't be changed), but if you shrink the photos (as you'd need to do anyway to post them on the web) then the quality is just fine. Otherwise, the main selling point of this camera is its size: You can bring it just about anywhere! It turns on quickly and battery life (with the included NiMH) is good. LCD screen is tiny but detailed. Make sure to take night pictures within 6 feet of the cam since it the flash doesn't illuminate much farther than that. Not many in-cam features but they're unnecessary anyway if you know Photoshop. Recommendations after purchasing? Buy a quick battery charge kit (it takes the pack-in charger 13 hours to recharge the batteries!) with extra NiMH batteries, a 128MB memory stick, and a travel case to keep it from getting scratched. Main qualm? It's a bit expensive. But hey, it's a Sony.

Summary: Looks Cute, But Comes Up Short
Review: I bought this Sony because I wanted a cute, light, tiny and easy to use digital camera. PROS
- cute
- light
- simple CONS
- VERY VERY difficult to see LCD on the back - you can't tell if your photo has turned out well or not!
- No zoom - I didn't think I would need it, but it turns out it's more useful than one might think
- Very delayed shutter speed - the camera doesn't take photos immediately
- Extreme problem with redeye - this is from the flash being too close to the lens
- Picture quality only so-so, but I guess that's what you get from a 2MP ... still ... Overall, I'm very disappointed. I'm planning on reselling mine and buying a Casio Exslim - they are just as tiny - actually, thinner, but with a much bigger LCD and better picture quality (if you get the 3MP) ... I think it's worth the extra money. If you don't care very much about your candid shots, then this is a fine camera for the price. If you're more serious about them, and are willing to invest a little more money, this isn't your best bet.
