Perfect camera for simple point-and-shoot needs! I've had one of these all my life, & and my family has shot so many great memories of these little guys. Unfortunately, the family one broke recently, so I decided to buy a new one! This camera is from the 2000s, so I wouldn't recommend it if you want to do proper photography. But, I personally love using these cameras for parties, gatherings, etc. It is so easy to carry in my bag, or even my pocket! & in my opinion, it is so much more rewarding to snap pictures with this than my phone. I love the quality of the pictures it makes, & and I've captured so many new memories with this simple camera.

+ SIDE= easy to use; great pictures; plenty of features for a small camera. - SIDE= The Memory Stick storage device is useless because it is a proprietary item to the camera. In other words, if you have a built in Card Reader, chances are good you won't be able to use the reader...you MUST buy something totally different adding additional cost and frustration to relatively easy-to-use camera. Very bad idea from Sony!

Good- Very Slim and stylish. It can be easily placed in a pocket or purse Good- Long Battery life Good- Rechargeable Battery Good- Fast Shutter speed Good- very little delay in between shots Good- Face detection Good- Very Easy to use Good- It's a reasonably prices camera for its 12.1 mp quality Satisfactory- A 4x zoom. It works great however with a 12mp camera I would expect at least a 5x Bad- Very little internal memory. You will need to buy a memory stick. Sony's memory sticks tend to be more costly. However a 4gb card holds 838 pics and can be purchased under $35. All and All I think it’s a great choice and I really enjoy mine. Sony tends to last the longest compared to other brands I’ve used.
The camera is easy to use and takes good pictures - internal memory only allows taking three pictures at max pixels. This camera does not use the SD card like others including my cell phone use. We had to make a special memory purchase right away to use the camera. Wasn't the money - just a pain.
After my last vacation hauling around a more substantial camera, I decided it was time to look for something a little more compact. This fits the bill at a most reasonable price ($200 range), yet it packs some very nice features. My semi-shaky hands appreciate the image stabilization feature. Facial recognition and smile shutter are handy...it's amazing to me that on demo mode, smile shutter can even spot a smile broadcast on TV. The 4x zoom is more than adequate for a camera in this class and it's quite compact, easy to slip into a purse. It has a nice large screen area and most operations, with the exceptions of turning it on/off and depressing the shutter, are contained in a compact area to the immediate right of the screen. The camera is easy to use and intuitive enough to be figured out with a minimum of having to refer to the manual. It also shoots video. You really can't go wrong here and if you shop wisely on eBay, it's possible to get it for around $170 like I did. I have only two beefs with this wonderfully economic camera. One is the shutter lag that is unfortunately common to point and shoot cameras. Can't really get around that without investing in an expensive SLR. Two is that the screen is very prone to fingerprints that are not easily removed. These are such minor complaints when you consider what this camera is able to give.Read full review
