Still with the Living November 11, 2008
B. Smith (DC, USA)
We received this camera as a Christmas gift in 2005. Nearly three years later, it's still ticking. This definitely is not a great camera -- we dealt with the white screen issue (though we were able to fix it eventually by using the 'tap method' that one reviewer recommended) and it sometimes takes blurry photos (as other reviewers have mentioned). The zoom is also somewhat weak -- I was hoping for more. On the positive side, battery life has been good in our experience.
For two hundred bucks (as it's currently listed in new condition), I'd definitely try another, newer camera.
 Good Camera, Will Fail July 17, 2008
Paul M. Wilson (Kent, OH USA)
This is a great camera when it functions, but like other customers have stated this camera has a major flaw. The "LCD White Death" and the "Main Power Flex" will likely occur if you have this camera. My camera worked for about a year and is still in mint condition and then all of a sudden it will not turn on. Sony will not provide any help. If this camera was reliable it would be a great camera, but unfortanutley there is too big of a risk it will fail you. Definitly consider other digital cameras.
Save your $$$ June 4, 2008
Kim (California)
Lousy product. The camera drains brand new batteries with two days of regular use. The whole thing BROKE within a year. Sony couldn't figure out what was wrong with it when I sent it back to them under warranty. Save your time and money and buy something else.
don't buy it!! May 5, 2008
jo
I suggest people not to buy it. i have this camera since spring 2005, but i have stopped using it long long time ago. In fact, just 3 MONTHS after my purchase, the the LCD screen went white/blank. you have to squeeze the body of the camera or basically shake it or tap it in order to have the LCD back to work. it's extremely extremely painful to use it.
It requires 2 AA batteries, not convenient to manage.
the quality of the pictures comes out good if you manage yourself to hold very still when taking pictures.
I am buying a new camera now. but my experience with this camera completely discourage me from buying another sony camera. I will switch to other brand names.
again, don't buy it.
