Nice camara I recommend this product, the only thing I don't like is the flash pop up where my finger is holding the camara (left hand), after that every thing is nice, nice pictures and HD videos.

I've been using Canon 500d and 7d all the way. I bought this cam as a secondary camera. Its a good camera but buy this if you dont want to enter into DSLR photography other wise nikon D3100 or canon 1000D or 1100D makes more sense.

I'm a serious photographer, currently use canon5D. For sometime I was looking for a small camera which can make me happy and my wife can also use it.I found this Sony camera, initially I was not sure how will it perform, but after going through the camera and taking some test shots I was impressed. The help feature, low light performance, HDR is really great. The flash is very powerful and good battery life. If you put the camera in Intellegent mode, it does a great job. The only think which prevented me to give a 5 Star is: 1. should have option to save the photos in raw format 2. The flash pops up in the left and usually it gets in the way where you usually place your left finger.

This camera has given me pretty much everything I expected from it. Having read many reviews of several compact zoom cameras from several sites, this one stood out and I have been very happy with results.
