Resting the camera on a chair, table or other fixed object works ok but we really need to use a tripod when in the video mode.Watch out for lights causing glare on the lense after dusk. I was so surprised how easy this camera is to take pictures. When zooming in (using the telephotomode) the camera apts to be shakey handholding so try to use a tripod when you can.The brief notes in different modes show up on the rear screen and are very helpful- great idea.Experiment with all the modes. The resolution is wonderful.The Video works great as well. Don't forget the tripod. I used it in Jamaica last month and was happy that I could just put it in my pocket where ever I went. Bill
What a camera. short battery life I thought. but still excellent in taking photos. pictures vivid and sharp.
Maybe I'm seeing something incorrectly but I bought this new in April, '08 for $264.15 and now it says over $500.can't be right.anyway.Good camera. Takes pictures.
I often couldn't tell that shots were out of focus until I imported them to my desktop. Well, this baby takes absolutely stunning low light photos using ISO or ISO+ mode. It must have a fast response time, both when I turn it on and in between shots. I don't know how many crappy photos I've taken indoors at parties, museums, and more.
I am addicted to these modes as they often save me from some very bad shots. There's also NO delay between shots, which has been the bane of all the digital cameras I've ever owned. I am clueless on how to set anything manually. 3. I know we all have, even with those cameras that have 'indoor' modes but require a tripod to take a clear picture. The ability to go from shot to shot without worrying about missing a great action photo or having to twiddle my thumbs while it writes to the compact flash or smart disk is a god send.2.
It is literally on and ready to shoot within milliseconds of hitting the power button. I have four criteria when it comes to a compact digital camera.1. 4. It was also only $299 here on Amazon.com (the price listed today is over $400). It must have several scene modes.
It must take GREAT shots in low lighting. No more wondering if I've taken a good photo or not.Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the Sony Cybershot. Check out the photos I uploaded from a visit to a local aquarium in the Jelly Fish exhibit (where it's as dark as night in there). I bought this camera because Consumer Reports rated it #1 for subcompact digital cameras. This camera offers a nice selection of scene modes, my favorite so far being the ISO+ for low light, indoor settings. But the landscape, portrait, and other modes have all proved equally adept at clear, brilliant pictures. It must have a large LCD.
My last digital camera had a 1.8" LCD and it was painfully small. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it only has 3X optical zoom, up to 6X with digital. This Sony Cybershot is AWESOME. My last digital camera had 12X with digital zoom, and it was disappointing to find that even though I was buying a higher end subcompact camera, the zoom was a bit on the skimpy side. They are clear and not at all blurry. Not only did I NOT have to use a tripod to get a clear shot, but the photos came out rich in color and detail, especially considering this is not a DSLR. The Sony Cybershot has a vividly clear LCD that is large and bright, perfect for spotting bad shots on the spot.
Nevertheless, I won't be using my old digital camera even with its 12X zoom because the Sony blows it out of the water in terms of picture quality, compactness, and speed.
I love this camera. The screen is big and clear. I've had it for 2 years and i still love it.
