Worth the Money
Every where I go I carry a camera. You never know when you'll need to video or photograph something or someone. When I purchased this camera I was very excited to see how it held up. There really are only two settings you'll use - video and basic photograph. But I have to say, I've never seen a camera take such sharp photographs as this camera. You literally just point and shoot and the contrast is amazing. The video footage is very clear but you'll need to make certain that it's completely in focus prior to hitting the record button. If not, the camera will take about a minute to refocus so the first part will be somewhat blurry. Once in focus the camera may as well be a full-fledged video camera. The sharpness is as distinctive as the protographs it produces. I love this camera and everyone who has seen the photographs have gone out to buy one for themselves. It's literally dummy-proof.

Great Camera
This is the best camera I've ever owned. It takes amazing pictures and is super easy to use. The battery last a very long time even when taking multiple HD video shots. A highly recommended camera for the newer camera buyer.

I love the color!!!
I am totally satisfied with the camera. I love the video quality and if you set it up right, the pictures are phanominal. This camera is definitely a value at the price. The color is a very sharp, ice blue, I love it.

Camera for Hawaii
The pictues from this camera are awesome. The only complaint I have - sometimes it doesn't take the time to focus and I get an occasional blurry photo. It could be me, I want to click quickly, but the quality of the photos are unbelievable. I use this camera as an additional one since I have a Nikon D300 too. So glad I bought it to take to Hawaii. It's lightweight and easy to take anywhere. The 5X zoom comes in handy. The flower pictures are clear and crisp.

Just an average novice camera owner review
Hi

overall i would have to say this is a good camera and a worthwhile investment for your average everyday snapshot photographer.

It is worthwhile to read the manual and get accostomed to the controls although you can basically power up and take shots without worrying to much.
the interface is fairly easy to navigate although i did have a problem one night turning on the flash in a dark area because i couldn't see the screen so sony might want to take that into consideration.

the HD video was quite nice, better than i expected, go to youtube and search for bball finals night in barbados to get an example. it functioned well in a low light setting although i was disappointed that there was no zooming in video mode, something to fix in my opinion.

regular snapshops were fine and i think the detail on the highest resolution we exception.

well done sony
minor issues to sort out only

thanks alot!

Sony Cameras History

SONY Corporation is a multinational corporation with headquarters in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles and information technology products. The very name “Sony” is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound.

The history of SONY Corporation dates back to the spring of 1946 when an entrepreneur Akio Morita and a promising young engineer Masaru Ibuka opened a modest radio engineering workshop in Tokyo. At that times markets were not abound in technological products; that’s why they were free to develop any direction in electronics. So, as soon as in 1951 Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation have launched Japan's first tape recorder called the Type-G.

The invention of transistor opened new horizons in the world of electronics. In 1957 Telecommunications Engineering Corporation came out with a transistor radio. Though being not the first to do this, it was SONY to make radios commercially successful for the first time. Their serial production was already under the brand SONY, so both the product and the brand won worldwide recognition.

By the 70-s SONY Corporation have become the world’s biggest audio and video equipment manufacturer. In I964 they produced first desk calculator. In 1968 ...   More About Sony Cameras
