Not worth the money

By Cmontanye (sonystyle.com)

After reading the reviews online I was debating between the HD (High Definition) and this SX41. With regret, despite the cost difference, I should have gone with a HD. There is no point on saving money if it doesnt work well.

Small, compact, great battery life, external flash

Photo quality, no viewfinder, no flash

Great zoom capabilities

By Jappy (sonystyle.com)

This customer did not provide a text review.

Zoom function is great and the device is easy to use

The video quality is OK (my Cyber-shot camera takes better video than this camcoder) the still pictures are sub-par
