 Just what i was looking for August 18, 2008
great photo quality in a variety of lighting situations. fast start up (better than my older Sony). one of the only newer cameras that still offers a viewer in addition to the digi screen - which is needed in bright sunlight.
 poor image quality August 17, 2008

I bought this camera because the consumer reviews were excellent, and my first impression of the camera was very good also, based on size, handling characteristics, and the way photos displayed on the 2.7" screen on the back of the camera. However I had business distractions and didn't display my photos on a full-size screen until after the Amazon return time expired. The image quality of my camera (perhaps I have a lemon) is very poor when compared to my three year old Olympus point-and-shoot. I was shocked at how "soft" the images were when viewed on a 15" computer screen. I took identical comparison shots using a tripod and self-timer to verify that I wasn't seeing motion, but in sunlight or low light, the images are visibly and objectionably soft. Around bright patches, such as sky showing through the leaves a tree in the foreground, there is heavy blue fringing, and some sections of the photos are "foggy" as though a fingerprint was on the lens, but there were no fingerprints or debris on the lens. There are noticeable blotches of off-color (like "noise," but bigger) in shadow areas, even at low ISO. I should have tested the camera better, sooner, and I blame myself and my schedule for not doing that. Here is the lesson: (1) Don't buy a camera unless you can thoroughly test it immediately, including judging the image quality on a large screen, not the screen on the camera. (2) Order the correct memory chip the first time, so you don't get delayed waiting for the correct chip to arrive. This Sony is not compatible with all SD memory chips. (3) Compare the camera against another camera of known qualities, but do in time to take advantage of Amazon's return option. I've shipped my camera to the repair center in Texas and it hasn't returned yet. If they fix it satisfactorily, I'll amend this evaluation to say so, but for now I'm very disappointed.

I love this camera. The pictures are flawless, generally with a size of 1 MB. The screen is big enough so I can see the quality of the picture. Excellent zoom option. The camera size is perfect to keep in my purse. One thing though is that the red of the camera is not pure blood red but rather a very dark pink-red, which I happen to love. I am looking for a gel case to avoid bumping and scratching its surface. I wish a fitting one for this camera was recommended to my when I bought it, so I could buy them together.
So much better than my old Canon... August 4, 2008

My last camera was a Canon, and I was never satisfied of indoor shots (usually of my cats). I should also note I have fluorescent lighting, that added to the problem. I reviewed Fuji, Panasonic, Canon, Olympus, and Sony cameras before making this purchase. The first two pictures I took when I got home almost blew me away. The sun was going down, and all the lights were off in the house, and the high ISO setting and Easy setting was still turning out some really nice pictures. You need a tripod for the twilight setting, but other that that, this camera is *awesome* for indoor shots.
Great Camera August 2, 2008

I had a Sony DSC-W90(8.1 MP) before this one and I simply loved it. I lost it recently and bought this one. It is pretty much similar to the W90 with a couple of additional features like smile detection and a bigger optical zoom (5X as against 3X in w90).
