 Very happy w/my cameraMar 23, 2010
I am very happy with my camera. It is lightweight, very attractive and has all of the features I need. The quality of the photos is clear and beautiful. Video quality is above average and I chose non HD because of the amount of space it consumes as well as time to upload. This is the perfect camera.

memory chip (has to be sony and $$$ go to ebay)
pros: great pics
easy to use
great videos
 After a year, I still like this cameraMar 09, 2010
This review is for the totally non-technical person. I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to specifications, so I'll write from that viewpoint.
I've had this camera for almost a year, and it has been my sole camera on several vacations and family events. Some friends were having a very tiny private wedding and asked me to take informal pictures before, and this is the camera I used. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.
Pros:
Small
Lightweight
Clear photos
Minimal shutter delay
Cropped and blown up photos are still clear
Battery holds a charge for a good length of time.
Cons:
Low profile buttons on top of camera are TOO low.
Cost of Sony memory cards and extra battery!
 no good pict qualityMar 07, 2010
hi
i had canon 650 before, i broght this - did not like pic quality, some more technical difficulty, return it to store
 Not as good as older SonyMar 01, 2010
This is perhaps my 10th Sony Cybershot and possibly the worst. Even though it's a 12mp the quality is not that good. Many blury shots even on auto. The flash is too strong at times and make the image very bright. Anyways, I like Sony Digital Camers but this is not one that I would recomment
