HORRIBLE durability! [Posted on 2008-05-20] I got this thing and barely ever used it.. took OK pictures but I dropped it ONCE in the grass while i was camping and the shutter wouldnt open, the flash bulb blew out and I couldnt open or close the shutter! I sent it back and they wouldnt fix anything because I had tried to manually close the shutter to see if it would reset it self or something? But no.. they wanted me to pay something like $140 on a camera that I got for $150.. I always trusted Sony but now im going with another company. What a piece of junk! Get it if you know you will never ever drip it.. not even on soft grass. Good luck, losers.
Nothing but problems... [Posted on 2008-05-28] I carefully researched and compared before I bought this camera - my 1st digital. I thought it would be a good camera for the price, but boy have I been wrong. I have only had it a little over a year. 6 months after I bought it the flash stopped working properly. Sometimes the flash would be so bright you cannot see the pictures and sometimes it would be too dark. Darker than taking a picture without the flash. Sometimes it would work, but very rarely. Now, 13 months after I've had the camera the zoom function has completely stopped working. In fact, if I even try to move it - it prompts me to turn off power and turn on again.
I'm just going to have to buy a new camera. What a waste of $200+!!
I would not recommend this model to anyone. This is my first Sony camera and I will definitely not be buying this brand again.

Its very testy [Posted on 2008-07-11] I got this camera in March. It's my second digital camera, I lost my first one, but had been thinking about getting a new one for awhile. I have been very disappointed with the testiness of this camera. First off, I had it as a bar and someone dropped about 5 drops of a drink on it and the zoom function refused to work. Eventually that cleared up. Then, I brought the camera to the beach and the lens would not stay open-- the camera would read "access, please power on and power off". Apparently you are not supposed to expose the camera to sand. My old camera was at the beach 6 times a summer and never had an issue. I took the camera to the repair shop and after a $25 estimate was told that it would take $125 to fix a $175 camera. Frustrated, I took a can of forced air and managed to clear the sand out of the lens. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this camera. I have had nothing but problems. The picture quality is a bit better, but its not the pain it has caused me.
GREAT camera [Posted on 2008-07-18] This camera is amazing... for the price you pay the quality is fantastic and I would buy one again and again!
