Takes great pictures

 

I love this camera! It is easy on the eyes, slim, and takes great pictures. Needs a handle to put on wrist. I purchased one with bling on it and it gave the camera more pizzaz. I recommend this product.

Cybershot

 

We have bought 3 Sony Cybershot cameras, ranging from $200+ down to $90 and none of them have lasted more than a year. Very disappointed as I love the quality of the pictures, but having repairs quoted in ALL 3 of over $250, it's all a bit ridiculous....

Great Pictures

Do not last

Expected MUCH more from this camera

 

When I bought this camera, I read reviews and researched quite a bit before buying. I should have listened to the people who said this camera was not all that great! For all the hype that the description gives, it's really not all that great. I was...

Blurry Pictures

 

I bought this Sony camera in November 2011 from Amazon after I lost my Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12.1 MP Digital Camera. I've always stayed loyal to Canon but after spending a lot of money on a camera and losing it, I decided to buy a cheaper point...

Good but not GREAT

 

Got this as a birthday gift, pictures take were out of this world, color and depth were amazing, auto-mode was simply idiot proof, just point and shoot. When you try to fidget around to use the other manual features, they aren't around, like setting...
