"Excellent Features...Soft Photos"
Pros: The best thing about this camera is its feature packed for an excellent price. The ability to shoot 720p video, having a 5x optical zoom, 12.1mp, with an easy to use interface for $225 is an awesome deal. Camera is easy to use.
Cons: I was aware of this cameras tendency to shoot soft photos but I didn't think it would be as bad as it is considering the Editors review here. As long as you don't view the pictures at full size of 12 or 9mp, you wont notice the softness.
Summary: Excellent features for the price, but very so... read more

"Camera is AMAZING 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,ETC), The camera can record in HD video which is great! Also the battery charger works in countries with 220V(Need converter to plug in)!
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.
Summary: The camera is a amazing camera if you want to... read more
