Love it! Great camera
| I really like this camera. I had started with Nikon in the digital SLRs and then went to Minolta for the anti shake feature in the body. This feature remains in this Sony and the controls are easy to use, but powerful. |

An excellent choice
The reviews below this one are thorough and written by professional-sounding photographers. So I'm going to give you my brief impression as an amateur. I have had this camera for 2 months now and use it regularly (several times a week). I am a flatwater kayaker and I use it mostly to take pictures of wildlife--shorebirds, deer, other critters--from the kayak. I purchased the 75-300 zoom lens to go with it. I also have the lens that comes with the kit, which I use for scenics or pictures around the house, etc. My previous cameras included the Sony DSC-H5 and the Canon S2 IS, both with teleconversion lenses.

Nice - but not for Pro use
| First, let me say I love the camera itself, and I REALLY, REALLY wish it was part of a system that a pro could use. But...SONY has dropped the ball. As of this writing, there is NO sync cord available to use the camera with a Stroboframe, etc. - and, even worse, it uses a proprietary hot shoe that is compatible with pretty much zilch. Sadly, it will remain a limited-use camera for me, or simply be replaced with something that is part of a full system. Too bad. |
