Great Camera
I have had this camera since Christmas and I pretty much love it! It takes good pictures on it's automatic, and also offers lots of options for others, such as snow (which we got a lot of this winter and I got great pictures!) It has a great little movie setting, which is perfect for grabbing up quick when my 2 year old is doing something cute. I have been very impressed with the quality of pictures so far. My mom liked my camera so much, she went out and traded her Kodak for a Sony, which she loves as well. I think this is a great basic camera that takes quick shots and is very easy to use!

Took good pictures, but died young.- warranty svc denied
After less than six months the flash has died with the apparently ubiquitous "E:91:01" error. After trying all the "reset" options to no avail, I'm going to have to send it in for service. I wouldn't have high expectations for a $40 camera, but after paying over $200, and with the "Sony" name, I expect better. Picture quality and ease of use are pretty good, but Sony needs to "have words" with their contract manufacturer.Update 6/7/2012 -- Sony found "corrosion" damage when they opened up the camera. They claim this is _not_ covered by the warranty. The camera is only six months old, and has been used only indoors or outside the house in sunny, dry weather! It has not been exposed to humidity, has not been dropped, has not had any liquid spilled on it. A google search suggests this is a common problem for Sony cameras. Sony should honor their warranty.My eight-year-old Canon Powershot still works fine and has been used under much more harsh conditions than the Sony was.I will not buy another Sony camera.

I love my cute pink camera
I have used the Kodak line before getting this sony camera, and I will never go back! Sony is the way to go. My pictures are almost always clear and bright, even indoor shots turn out well.This camera is lightweight, easy to use, and the manual that comes with it is excellent. Love the self timer (can be put on 2 second or 10 second delay, and flashes a convenient red light when ready to take picture), easy to use options and menu buttons, review screen is very clear, and the zoom is fantastic!!One year later update:Still LOVE love love this camera. The video quality is also great, as I've found many occasions that videos are necessary. I still highly recommend this camera for the gal on the go, this camera is worth every cent in my opinion for ease, convenience, and crystal clear pictures nearly every time! I also recommend buying the little mini tri-pod stand for low-light pictures or a group shot.

Great Camera!
I bought this camera 5 years ago and used it regularly. I just upgraded to a new model and give this one to a friend. She was so grateful and also uses it. This camera was built to last and has all the features on it anybody really needs to shoot pictures of their family.

Lacks important features
This camera does take good pictures at times.HOWEVER, there is no option to add a date stamp, which is very important to me. I have two kids and won't remember when pictures were taken otherwise.It also has this annoying flash that flashes several times before the 'big' flash when it actually takes the photo. This causes whoever to have a squinty face from being blinded from the flashes. I think this was because it was set to red eye reduction but I'm pretty sure it did it even when I turned it off.I've since gotten a Polaroid i733 for $85.00 which works just as good and has more features. Save your money.

Cute and functional
This is my 3rd Cybershot and it's just as good as its predecessors. I never use many of the options, but I guess it's nice knowing they're there. My main complaint is that you have to remove the battery to charge it, which is mildly inconvenient. I love the fact that it's pink and that I won't easily confuse it with others' cameras when we're hanging out with other people.

Rip off don’t buy
I spent over $300 for this camera and it stopped working! The seller refuses a refund or sent a replacement camera. Offered $40 for repairs without knowing the cost of the repairs! Rip off! Scammer!
