Simple and easy to use. Decent exposure. Zoom quality is poor but expected at this price point. You will need to buy a card to store your photos as the internal 16MB memory won’t get you very far. This is no Leica quality camera or lens but it does a very decent job considering the price.

Bought one of these at a good price, but the price is not good enough to keep it. Upgrading from an older Kodak C730 3.1MP, I was very disappointed. The picture quality is just simply awful. I took much better quality pictures with my older camera. The turnout is grainy in most situations (every now and then you get lucky with a good one) and the color seems to be very dull. Software enhancement didn’t help much either. I tried playing with all the settings, but it didn’t seem to help. Besides, I never had to adjust anything on the Kodak, Auto seemed to work just fine. I think this is a camera that somebody who has never owned a digital camera would enjoy, or maybe someone who is upgrading from one of those cheap off brand cameras you see in stores for under $50. But if you’ve ever used a decent quality digital camera, look elsewhere. I was very surprised that Sony would let a product with such low quality out into the market. Learned something new. This is my first Sony still camera, and probably will be my last. I was willing to live without the view finder because the style of the camera made it easy to use without one. It’s a very attractive camera, small and sleek. Too bad it doesn’t operate as well as it looks. Think I’m gonna look at a Canon PowerShot A590IS next, I’ve heard good things about them. Besides, I have a lot of SD cards laying around, didn’t feel like spending the extra money on a proprietary memory card that Sony is cashing in on (MemoryStick).

I purchased this camera for a friend. The camera turns on and shuts off right away. He’s tried several sets of batteries to no avail.
I will be calling Sony on his behalf given that he’s overseas and can’t do it.
I am dissapointed that it does not work which may point to the Quality Assurance efforts at Sony.
I am hopeful it can be resolved easily and a replacement is not required.
Thanks.

Simple to use but there is no memory stick and the internal memory only allows for 15 pictures.

This camera has a serious design flaw. You need to really push down on the button to shoot a picture. Because of this, the camera tends to move when you press the button, and the result is a blurry picture. I would definitely not recommend this camera.
