3 out of 5 stars warning   July 24, 2008
I bought this camera last december for an incredible price, it's a wonderful camera, worthy the money I paid for it BUT...you need to be warned, today my camera just stop working for no apparent reason, when I turn on the camera the lens come out and go back at least 3 times, an "access" legend appears on the screen and finally the camera starts beeping and says turn off and turn on again, you can go and see the stored pictures but you can't take pictures anymore.

The reason I am warning you is because while searching ways to fix it I learned that this is a very common problem with this camera, SONY needs to take care of this issue.

2 out of 5 stars Its very testy   July 11, 2008
I got this camera in March. It's my second digital camera, I lost my first one, but had been thinking about getting a new one for awhile. I have been very disappointed with the testiness of this camera. First off, I had it as a bar and someone dropped about 5 drops of a drink on it and the zoom function refused to work. Eventually that cleared up. Then, I brought the camera to the beach and the lens would not stay open-- the camera would read "access, please power on and power off". Apparently you are not supposed to expose the camera to sand. My old camera was at the beach 6 times a summer and never had an issue. I took the camera to the repair shop and after a $25 estimate was told that it would take $125 to fix a $175 camera. Frustrated, I took a can of forced air and managed to clear the sand out of the lens. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this camera. I have had nothing but problems. The picture quality is a bit better, but its not the pain it has caused me.

1 out of 5 stars Nothing but problems...   May 28, 2008
I carefully researched and compared before I bought this camera - my 1st digital. I thought it would be a good camera for the price, but boy have I been wrong. I have only had it a little over a year. 6 months after I bought it the flash stopped working properly. Sometimes the flash would be so bright you cannot see the pictures and sometimes it would be too dark. Darker than taking a picture without the flash. Sometimes it would work, but very rarely. Now, 13 months after I've had the camera the zoom function has completely stopped working. In fact, if I even try to move it - it prompts me to turn off power and turn on again.

I'm just going to have to buy a new camera. What a waste of $200+!!

I would not recommend this model to anyone. This is my first Sony camera and I will definitely not be buying this brand again.
