great for the money but not perfect by Ana G. De Depablos (venezuela)  4 Stars
November 18, 2009
pros
quick cam, cheap, great functions, video hd 720, good perfomance, great batery, great lcd, awesome bang for the buck, no rivals
slim, good looking, great overall
m2 with adapter and micro sd with adapter works fine
flash is great for night pics, they look very nice
cons
image quality sucks, is not the best at all, even at great light the pics are kinda blurry, not great detail
stupid sony pro duo sticks, are expensive and sucks
video hd is not compatible with dxva
only mp4 video is supported, old sony cam recorded mpeg2, it would be nice having options
sony pro duo clones do not work
taking more than 5 pics in burts mode creates a great lag, but is because of the memory speed, it should have more ram and internal memory for cache

Great Camera. by D. Hill (Houston, Tx) 4 Stars
November 18, 2009
The only downside that I have found so far is that you have to take the battery out to charge it. It comes with this little box that the battery pops into, then that plugs into the wall. Just a little different. Also you cannot zoom while you are taking a video. But the ease of use and picture quality are very very easy. Takes quick pictures in succession, with very clear pics. The image stabilizer seems to work well. Especially for me.

USER FRIENDLY!! by Lisa Stewart (Burley, WA United States)  5 Stars
November 16, 2009
Just got this camera for my b-day and I'm very happy with it! Super easy to use - I don't want all the bells and whistles - I just wanted something that would take clear pictures easily. It is replacing a camera I could never get to work properly with terrible directions. If you want a camera that's easy to use, has clear directions and takes nice pictures and video - this is the one for you!
