"Pricey but worth every penny"
What I like:
Compact considering the size of the zoom, Picture quality
What I don't like:
auto focus in low light
Review:
Great camera the Zoom is excellent , picture quality is very good .The problem with the auto focus in low light has been improved greatly by the firmware update which I recently downloaded.
The camera has plenty of features which are useful.
I was nearly put of this camera by some reviews on the internet, but decided to go into a local retailer and check it out after spending 45 mins checking it out I decide it was for me after all.
I can only say that I am delighted with this camera and the zoom is excellent, I have always wanted a decent zoom camera but was not prepared to carry around an SLR heavy weight . This camera is light in weight compact and easy to use.

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
