"AMAZING camera I recommend 100%!"
Pros: Well to begin with, this camera has the new and improved scroll wheel to select what to do, (Movie, Easy, Auto, Programmable, and Scenes), The camera can record in HD video which is great for most people who like to make videos! It overall amazing!
Cons: Finding a case for this that is not the easiest thing to do if you want a small case, either they are for tiny tiny cameras or they are to big an bulky making it unattractive. The accessories from Sony are overpriced but possibly worth it.

"Sony Has Always Made Good Cameras!"
Pros: Ease of use, functions, 12.1 Mega Pixels, HD Movie 720p shows without the flicker or floating in and out of color levels like most other brands.Did have a Pentax Optio that cost $325.00 that lasted 3 months.
Cons: The battery and memory card door is easy to break. I do recommend that Sony address that issue. The door or cover for that area is very delicate and should be handled with care. Not for the fumbling fingers and hand type person.
Summary: So Far, I love it! Hope Sony keeps up their q... read more
