Worst Camera I Ever OWNED!
| This is the worst camera I have ever owned in my life. I had a fuji 1.3 mega pixle camera that took better pictures than this one! I have taken this camera on 2 vacations now, and both times I brought along my Olympus SLR film camera, and both times, the Olympus pictures are clearer, brighter and all but maybe 1 will work, with this stupid Sony Cybershot, I end up deleting 3/4 of the pictures because they are blury or have all kinds of funny things happening, the only pictures that do work with this camera is during the day time, or in bright lighting. On the first vacation I went on with this camera, my friend brought along her kodak 1 megapixel camera she got free and it turned out better pictures, as did my Olympus, on the second vacation I returned from today as I write this, I just downloaded my pictures, and deleted 2/3's of them because they are so bad, the ones that came off my film camera are perfect! My sister also has the exact same camera which she brought with her, and as I went through her pictures, same thing over 2/3's of them didn't work, I would have just assumed I'd gotten a defective camera if it was only my Sony that did not work, however hers didn't either, I would also assume perhaps it was myself that was the problem, however, I took a number of the exact same picture on this Sony as well as my Olympus (as a back up and thank god I did) and the pictures from the Olympus, as well as every other camera I have ever used, have come out fantastic, on this camera though, they come out horrible, so bad in fact that I'm embarrassed to show people! Believe me, if I hadn't gotten it free as a present I'd be writing a nasty letter to Sony, as it is though my next camera I'm saving up for and buying from a brand that does nothing but photography equiptment, therefore knows what they're doing. Sony makes great TV's and home entertainment systems, anything else I've bought from them, or known someone who has, has been junk, their camera, their car stereos, their computers! Sony should stick to TV's and Home Theater, it's what they're good at, camera's not so much, unless you're looking for something cheap that you'd only use in the day, even then I'd recommend a disposable, they even work better than this camera! |

I'm in love with this camera.
I actually originally went to this page through Google to see if they were still selling this model. I have to say that this is a really good camera for casual photography, and is even still a good camera for being a 4.1 megapixel camera (considering you can purchase 6, 7, and even 8 megapixel cameras now).

sony cybershot
| we had this camera for about a year until on Thanksgiving Day while out of town it broke. The lense just froze while in the middle of taking a picture and wouldnt ever go back into the camera. We ran out to Best Buy and purchased it again because it was just a simple to use basic camera for me and my dad. (2 years later the old cameras lense still wont go back into the camera yet the camera still will turn on..weird.) At first we liked the camera and it took good pictures. They look great when we got them developed (costco.com is the best place to upload them and 1 hour later you pick them up, super cheap too) and the quality was good. Within the last year the camera has turned into a piece of crap. Evvvvvery picture comes out blurry it seems. Inside or outside. I am constantly telling people who take pics for me to take 2 or 3 pictures because i KNOW one or two will be blurry and that is a great shot i will miss because of it. Also the flash quality is horrible. It takes okay pictures of people in the dark but if it's of an object (anything really, just not a person) it comes out pitch black. Inside the lighting is bad too. The camera can never focus and it's just annoying. I also went through 2 or 3 memory sticks made by Sony that for no reason just broke. One of them broke while in a store getting them developed (in the little machine) and erased all of my pictures which was very dissapointing. The people said there was no way it was their machine, that it had to be a default in the memory stick. Also the camera is pretty big and clunky. At the time it was actually a smaller camera on the market, now it is huge! I am looking into now buying the Canon powershot 6.0 |
