The best Point & Shoot camera in it's category
 
Review Date: January 7, 2010
Reviewer: Anand Wuppuluri,
This is truly an amazing product. It takes great pictures and the camera comes with some very easy to use useful features. I like "Smiley Button" feature the best. Click the smiley button and let the camera go to work. The camera will take a picture whenever anyone in the frame smiles. You don't have to worry if you got the shot at the right moment. The camera also takes 720P HD Video. The only feature missing is availability of zoom in the video mode. Overall, I love this camera.
Best Mid Range camera

We have used our Sony Cyber-Shot camber for about a month. We have had no issues. Like any other electronic gadget, it takes time to know the controls and use it. This camera has one of the best lenses and takes better pictures than a friends 15 Megapixel camera. We love the Stabilization, it works as stated. My mother was able to use this camera and take perfect shots. Previously, when using an older camera without the stabilization, all her pictures were blurry. I would recommend this to anyone who wants quality photos and doesn't mind the extra weight (which is not really an issue with us).
Great Camera!

This camera replaced an older Cyber-shot. I checked out lots of other sites and reviews of cameras before purchasing this one. And I am glad I did. It takes excellent photos, and is lightweight/small enough to carry in a pocket. Love the bronze color too!
