Good Sony Product

I really like this sony cam but let me get my complaints outta the way 1st. Its kinda big and bulky. It looks small but put in your pants pocket and you'll be annoyed after walking 5 steps. Its also a little on the heavy side. I'm comparing it to the similarly priced Sony T33, a much thinner and lighter camera. If you're shooting something in action you'll probably miss the shot because it takes a few seconds to autofocus. You have to use red eye flash which takes longer and eats the battery faster. Unless you prefer to have red eyes in every pic. But overall I like this camera. The LCD screen is awesome. Its so clear even when you zoom in. You can actually see the pic without having to upload it to your computer screen. This helps b/c you can just retake any bad looking pics. If you only take posed still photos then this camera is all you'll ever need. I use red eye flash because I'm too lazy to go back and remove the red eyes from every pic. I usually shoot 50-100 pics a night. If you only take a few pics then this wont be a problem. But I'm getting ready to return this camera and get a Sony T33 which is basically the same but half the size.

Love it, slight technical problem.

After much deliberation, I finally decided to purchase this camera due to it's small size, good reviews, and the price at the time (on sale at Target last winter.) Mostly I am happy with my camera. The blurriness doesn't bother me at all since, as a photographer, I like to play with those types of things. (I especially love the nighttime portrait function! The streaks the other reviewers complained about are so much fun.)

Anyway, my two problems with the camera are technical. One, the "M" function simply can't be used, it just continues to say that it's taking the picture and I have to take the batteries out to make it stop. I'm sure it's something that could easily be fixed, but since the warranty is expired I'm stuck for now. The other is that sometimes the camera will think I'm changing the function when I'm not, and has caused problems while I'm trying to take a picture or view them. I think this is a software problem, and probably isolated. A friend of mine bought the same camera and hasn't mentioned any problems with hers.

Overall though, I do like my camera. I use the other functions enough that I don't miss the "M" one too badly, and as for the other problem I can live with it until I can afford a bigger, better camera.
