"Does what it says on the box"
What I like:
Excellent digital zoom and micro focus; great color outdoors
What I don't like:
Outrageously long flash recharge time
Review:
This is a great camera for natural good light photography. The problems start in poor light or indoors. Despite all the manual settings and the ability to force a low ASA, pictures without the flash in poor light or indoors are very grainy. It takes the camera about 1.5 seconds to take focus and take a picture with the flash on and about 10-12 to recharge afterwards. This means it is pretty useless for anything other than posed shots. It just takes too long to recharge for anything else.

Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price

Good camera made great by its excellent touchscreen interface and wireless technology

As a showcase for Sony technology, it's brilliant, but it's far from perfect in everyday use
