Buyer's feedback: - * Garbage - Don't waste your money! ...
Purchased in May of 2008 as a Mother's Day gift. Drains batteries quickly. Within first week of ownership swapped for a replacement because lense became jammed. Thought it was an isolated incident but five months later the flash has stopped working. Also usb chord worked fine in beginning but now requires that I hold it at an angle for it to connect.

On the rare occasion that the batteries weren't dead and it was working it did take beautiful pictures. Buyers beware, this camera looks compact and cute but isn't worth the price!

Buyer's feedback: - What is this?
Do not buy it. I bought it in august 08 and after using it a few times the buttons wouldn't do what i wanted them to do. the go right button went to the menu. the delete button made it go right.etc. then the menu started to flash up at random times. i would not recommend this camera to anyone.

Buyer's feedback: - * if i could, i would un-do this purchase and get something else. ...
I read a lot of reviews on amazon.com before i committed to buying a camera. I wanted cheap, but not really cheap (about $150.00) and i didnt want to be bombarded by options I would never be using--i just wanted a simple point, push the button snap shot camera comparable to my 5 megapixle 2005 bit that recently stopped working.

PROS:
This camera looks nice. it's a nice size. the screens big. It's easy to use (i'm sure grandma could handle it).

CONS:
the batteries last 3 hours. Seriously. battery eater extreme.
There is a delay on the picture taking. You push the button it does all this thinking and THEN it takes the picture. Makes for awkward pictures and it, surely, always misses the moment you were looking to catch. This is the worst part of this camera for me.


I've learned to "deal with it" and finesse it so it works ok for me but if i could, i would un-do this purchase and get something else.

Buyer's feedback: - A real piece of junk.
Such a dissapointment. First off, this camera only has a storage bank of up to 7 pictures it can take. Second, it is so fragile we just dropped it by accident into the grass in our yard and it broke. What cheap quality. I wouldn't recommend this camera to anyone. Sony isn't the quality they used to be. W.D.

Buyer's feedback: - * Good Camera... Kinda ...
Ok well the camera is somewhat good... when i first got it, it worked fine but then the flash went out... no more flash :( and then for some reason it kept draining all the batteries i would put it on... even the ones made especially for cameras... and its not a good camera if your gonna take pictures in the dark.
