I got this camera as an early birthday present for myself just a few weeks ago and so far I am very happy with the ease of using it. I previously had another Sony Cybershot (different model) and I enjoyed that camera for years, that is what brought me back to getting another Sony Cybershot. The size of the LCD screen is awesome!!! My old one had a screen that was only 1" so this is a huge improvement. All of the different settings and modes are so easy to figure out. If you are a beginner, I think you will find yourself getting started very quickly and really enjoying this awesome camera. I'm very happy with my purchase!

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!

Greatest laptop mouse ever!
I gifted this to my boyfriend and then took over it!
It really works everywhere and the range is great.
This works on my dining table, sofa cushions, bed sheets, carpet etc. all sorts of rough terrain and without mouse a pad!
Batteries lasted me like two months; not bad!
I'm seriously considering buying myself one in "scarlet red" so i can return this blue one to the rightful owner!

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.

Its a great little camera with easy operation. And I do love the size of the camera , as you can carry it everywhere you go with no problem at all.
I do like the quality of the picture, and ease of downloading the pictures to my computer.

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.

Well built and nice looking product. The rounded edges and sleek lines of this netbook are really nice. It has a subdued pattern on the lid that is unique. Other Features that I like are the keyboard and built in webcam.

Bought this to replace my 3rd Kodak camera..This is a well built camera, love the color in yellow. Camera is pretty easy to use, great pictures..I leave mine on Auto setting...then switch it over to P mode to turn the flash off. Make sure you do not leave the Marco on...this will give you a poor picture...only use this for close-ups. ( some of the other reviews mention this...READ THE MANUAL) I'm glad I bought this and I got a good deal on it...it was on sale with free shipping and I had $15 off in Reward points.

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!

We got the soundbar to work for our TV (Sharp LCD), but couldn't adjust any sound settings. We couldn't get the Dolby surround sound feature to work, only PCM sound. Couldn't change any sound options through the TV, where you HAVE to do that. The subwoofer is terrible, very very weak and you can't adjust the volume on it. (at least through a Sharp TV). We couldn't get the soundbar to work at all for our PS3 or computer since the bar only has ONE output and it's not even HDMI (and no inputs).

I love the ease of this camera for general picture taking. It takes quick pictures and the shots are always so clear. Its a really good camera for the price.

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...
