NOT good for Babies [Posted on 2007-12-17]
This camera is not good for sports or baby pictures ... the shutter is slow.
A little disappointed [Posted on 2008-01-09]
Takes awesome outside pictures. I'm a little upset about the inside shots. Flash is too bright even though I have done everything instructed to make it darker. Pics are out of focus when used without the flash with dim light. Had it a couple of months and had to send in for repair due to an internal computer issue but the turn around time was great ( about 7 days). I guess the bottom line is that I am keeping it but would not buy it again.
The product is excellent [Posted on 2008-02-23]

Pics as good as SLR for a fraction of the price [Posted on 2008-02-28]
I am not an expert, but the pictures from this camera look as good as pics from an expensive SLR camera. People can't believe the pictures I take with this camera. The 12X zoom makes it perfect for sporting events and your kid's school events. Unbelievable pictures.
The only downside is that the camera is big (like an SLR) so we also have a smaller one to carry around everyday. But our everyday camera can't zoom in like this one.
Be prepared, this thing is big but it is worth lugging around if you want really good pictures and the 3X zoom on a small camera just won't cut it. The price is so reasonable that you can get both this one and a small everyday camera.
Sony Cybershot 7.2 MP camera died right after 1 year warranty expired [Posted on 2008-05-12]
Suddenly, while traveling, this Sony Cybershot 7.2 MP stopped working. It was exactly 1 year after purchase, right after the warranty expired. Very disappointing.
An electronic problem causes a complete freezing-up right after the shutter button is pushed, resulting in a blank black viewer. After it finally releases from the freeze, no picture has been taken.
Repair work costs more than to replace camera, of course. I will think twice before buying Sony camera again.
As a photographer, I have owned many different cameras. Never have had a complete malfunction on a camera ever, except in a used Nikon I bought from the guys at the B&H Used Camera Dept in NYC.
This Sony should have been better and should have lasted much longer. My old Olympus digital lasted at least five years with no problem.
