Let me start by saying that I'm an enthusiast, and love taking pictures although I have much to learn about photgraphy. That being said, I've actually owned a couple of these Stylus Tough 8000 series cameras. The main selling point of this camera has got to be its extreme toughness. You can take it practically anywhere under almost any conditions. That's why I have one of these cameras. Its great to take on a hike, when you don't want to carry a bigger DSLR, but still want reasonably good pictures. Its rugged, surviving the occasional drop that would break most every other camera.
Probably my favorite feature is the Panaramic mode which allows you to take wonderfully easy panaramic shots. The camera can even stitch them together for you on the fly. Which is really cool when you're on top of a mountain somewhere and want to make sure that the pic turned out the way that you wanted it to.
If you're going to be outdoors and are looking for a light weight point and shoot that

We owned a cyber shot that after a few years and many drops broke. We love this camera, the picture quality is the best! It is very easy to use as well. When we bought our new cybershot we were dissapointed in the zoom capibility. We ordered our new cyber shot camera on line and didn't get to play with it before our purchase. I would highly recommend going into the store to view the camera because when we went to return it, we had to pay an expensive restocking fee even though the box and contents were in new condition. If a zoom isn't that important, I would highly recommend this camera, we loved it, untill we wanted to photograph sports at a distance.

I swore never to buy sony again after my last DVD cam screen stopped working but here i am again.
What sucks;
Can only film i wide screen format.
Must use SONY PICTURE UTILITY to import video. IT IS SLOW AND ANNOYING AND GENERALLY SUCKS. THEN THE VIDEO MUST BE CONVERTED TO ENABLE TO USE ANY PROGRAM OTHER THAN SONY.
AGAIN THIS IS SLOW AND ANNOYING AND I FEEL UNNECESSARY BUT FOR SOME REASON SONY CAN NOT RESIST DOING IT THIS WAY. MOST LIKELY I WILL THROW THIS CAMERA INTO THE TRASH JUST FOR THIS REASON.
Only Adobe sucks more when it comes forcing library features down the throats of the consumers.
I can only assume this is because we would never use their software unless forced to.
If you still feel you must buy this camera, email me and i will sell you this Piece of **** for half price

Unlike many others, we purchased this camcorder for family use only. We just wanted to capture videos of our 2 yr old son playing, fishing and holiday fun, or for just whatever. We didn't need alot of bells and whistles, but this one seems to have it all and it is really easy to understand the directions. We love that it is small and fits great in a large camera case. It gets an incredible picture. We're still learning the software and how to download to the computer and dvd. But so far it's been great!

I have my first grandchild. Naturally I want to take lots of pictures. This camera lets me excellent pictures without using the flash. I'm able to get great close-ups without being bothersome with a flash. It's small enough to carry in a pants or coat pocket.

Well what can I say? I LOVE IT! I don't understand how you gonna make something so SLEEK/SEXY but not make it with a good battery life. You already took away the SD card, must you take away the life of the Camera as well? If you end up getting this, I suggest you get an extra battery if not look for a battery with a bigger mAh. There is currently a 750mAh that comes with the camera, so anything higher then that is what you are looking for. I came across a 650mAh at the Best Buy store but of course that is not good enough. So I will continue to search for bigger battery. I suggest you keep the camera on Auto so your photo's come out good with out having to set anything, but if you camera person and you know how to adjust things then you can go to program. Although this camera has the small LCD I would suggest not to use it all the time unless it is a must to help conserve power, in addition to that there are two features on the camera to help conserve power as well.

I purchased this camera in May/2009. I had to send it back in July/2009 because the lens would not retract and it was showing me an error message. They sent it back fixed under warranty pretty much hassle free. It broke AGAIN in Oct/2009 with the SAME issue. Lens would not retract and error message. This time however, Cannon wanted to charge me money to fix the camera because they said it was broken because of the scratches I had on the corners of the camera. There were no marks in July and the camera still had the same problem! The scratches were not the cause of this issue! It is a malfunction of the cameras poor quality and I was dissapointed that Cannon would not stand behind there product and fix it! I paid $350 too much for a camera that I had to send back 2 times! They hid behind the scratches on the camera so they would not have to fix the obvious camera malfunction....save your money and go with the Panasonic Lumix, I wish I had!

Massive amount of features but not overwhelming. I am by no means a pro but this camera makes sure you don't need to be. You can play with tons of settings but only if u want to, otherwise it acts like a simple point and shoot.
The zoom is awesome but you really need a tripod beyond 10x.
If I had it to do again I would still buy it.

Bought this camera for its small size but also wanted a zoom lens. The 12X zoom makes the camera heavier than a mini-compact but still carry it around in my purse-no problem. The pictures are colorful and bright and I use the scenery mode quite often and the pictures are sharp. Battery life is excellent-took pictures all day on a recent trip and still had juice. Charging the battery does not take an extended period. Nice camera!

If you're like me, and like to shoot photos and video, this is the camera for you. To be able to grab one camera for vacations, trips, or gigs...that's cool. You can read all the specs and details about this camera online (there's always somebody that dosen't like something about it), but I just want to say that once you have the camera in your hands and you learn how to use it, it's truely a great camera!
Go get one man! Especially now that Best Buy is offering 18 months with no finance charges...

Pros Superb low light response. Excellent Mac compatibility Reasonable price Generally good set of options in the menu. 37mm threaded front lens so it it is compatible with a large assortment of attachments Reasonable HD performance Also functions as a pretty good and easy still camera Cons Zoom speed cannot be slowed or controlled in any way. No mic or audio line input. General Discussion All things considered, this is a fine product. If you are a Mac person this will save you many hours of work. The MPEG4 file format is very mac friendly. But there are a few things to keep in mind. This camera has an unusually large aperture; as such this has some interesting consequences. On the positive side, this produces stunning low light capabilities. Furthermore, one can isolate the subject from the background very easily by carefully controlling ones exposure and focus; few other consumer camcorders have this ability. However this places great strain on the auto focus. If one is simply

As a previous D70 owner I can say the D90 is quite an upgrade. The increased continuous shooting and incredible low light/high ISO performance is really what impressed me the most. Where the D70 was getting noisy at ISO 800 (although still acceptable due to Nikon's approach to noise reduction) I find the D90 producing excellent ISO 3200 images when exposed properly. I really like the LCD compared to the lower end Nikon's it makes it so much easier to see if you have an out of focus photo or not. The video feature is more of a gimmick to me. The quality is decent and at 24fprs it looks cinematic I guess but I think a camcorder that can auto-focus will still do a much better job overall. WHere the D90 won't disappoint is image quality, there are plenty of customization settings to play with. I mainly shoot .nef and process later on the pc but you can customize this camera to produce very nice images right out of the camera with very little work. I am very pleased with the build quality of

I purchased the camers for a trip to Disney with wife, children, and grandchildren. I recordered everything in high quality HD. When we got home we could not believe the quality of the picture and sound. It even shot great in low light conditions. I shot the fireworks and they came out great. I took movies of the night parade and they are great. I could not believe the differance between this and a regulad camcorder. THe only thing is you need a blue ray burner to record the movies. A regular dvd only hold 30 minuites of HD high quality. It took 10 DVD's to put it on disk. I have since upgraded to a blue ray burnner and everything is well. I would highly recommend this camcorder to anyone who has the money.

I bought this product online on Friday, and just received it today, Wednesday. The price was right and I was looking for a good camera to take to Mexico in December. Im no expert when it comes to cameras, but I think this is a really great value! The quality of the pictures are great, I LOVE the panoramic option. The video quality is excellent. The camera is obviously bigger then a regular sleek and slim digital camera, but I was surprised at how light it was and how easy it was to hold. The camera is very simple. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. If you are looking for a high quality camera that will take BEAUTIFUL pictures, this is a great buy! Don't even hesitate, its wonderful, and even my husband, who was opposed to me buying another camera, had to set down his Xbox controller and mess with the camera, taking pictures of the house and the animals! I cant wait to take my camera along for the holidays and start taking more pictures!

The system uses 4AA batteries and a SD card. This is great since where do you recharge when you travel or download pictures. Pictures are great and 10X zoom is excellent. I had to read the manual a little but most of the systems were intuitive.

First of all.... it broke after a month and a half of use. Literally wouldn't turn on! Also, the picture quality was horrible... I was really disappointed in this camera overall...thankfully I got a full refund!

I have been waiting for years for this camera! The two control wheels let you set everything manually. And it records in RAW format! And it's even great in just plain old auto mode if you don't want to shoot in manual mode. Best little point and shoot camera ever. It doesn't replace an SLR but it is the perfect camera to have in your pocket or your purse at all times!!! Love it!

I received the unit and have been testing it out in various shooting settings and resolutions. Right away I really appreciated the .mp4 format of the recordings and the simplicity of working with the files (on a Mac w/iMovie9). Honestly, on a fast mac, working with any of the size/formats the camera records seems to be quick and easy. I'm a little disappointed that the iFrame format doesn't turn out to be a big of a deal as I thought it would be. iFrame is a nice compromise between 720p and 480p with low file size and a wide screen format. Shooting 720p @ 30fps seems to work just as well, with Quicktime deftly handling bouncing the clips down to a variety of formats including ipod, appletv, 480p, 720p, etc. There are two slow down modes, the slowest the files do not play natively on my mac. The transfer speed seems a tad slow thru the USB connection to a known USB 2.0 connections. Remedied with the purchase of a third party card reader, which is also mush easier than using the base
