Camera Review.......2007-12-24

I love the camera. I have high school boys in sports and am using the sports sequence and continuous shooting features which are great and self explanatory. I am very happy with my new camera.

A very good camera!.......2007-12-17

Though I own a couple of low quality snapshot digital cameras, this camera was my first move into a serious digital camera. Before, when I wanted good quality photos, I would resort to using my old Canon A1 SLR film camera, which I have been using since the mid eighties.
I was very pleased to see this camera not only took excellent pictures, but also included most of the features of my old SLR, such as the ability to set the apertures and shutter speeds manually. Also with a lens adopter(I prefer the aluminum ones made by Lensmate over Canon's plastic ones) and stepping ring (both purchased separately) I could also use my collection of lens filters from my old SLR.
This camera works much like an SLR, only it uses a digital viewfinder instead of an optical one. This is one of the reasons I like this camera, as I like to shoot pictures of wildlife and the ability to turn off the shutter sound is a real boon. With an optical viewfinder on a SLR there is a little mirror inside the camera to reflect the view into the viewfinder, the mirror must be raised to take a picture, causing an unavoidable `thunk' sound which can make wildlife photography very difficult.
Though the automatic modes make this camera accessible to anyone, it might not be the best camera for those looking for a simple point and shoot camera. The ones who will benefit most from this camera are serious amatures and professionals looking for an alternative to a DSLR. Also worth mentioning, there are 1st and 3rd party lenses and accessories available for this camera.
Summing this up, I must say I am very pleased with this camera and would recommend it to anyone looking for a serious high quality digital camera.

Great family camera.......2007-12-13

Wonderfull stuff.......2007-12-11

Great Camera!.......2007-12-11

Great camera at a great price.

The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to take clear pictures in a gymnasium. They always end up grainy...I know I am probably just doing something wrong or missing something because this camera really has everything. Although I would highly recommend the telephoto lens. There are so many times I wished I had it but didn't. One day I will be able to afford it. I would also recommend the case and the leather neckstrap - the neckstrap it comes with is nylon and can get pretty uncomfortable after a while! I would also recommend Sony's rechargable batteries and charger. Oh - and a high performance SD card, your pictures will turn out even better and your batteries will last longer!

Problem connecting to PC.......2003-09-12

I could not get my PCs to recognize the binoculars after connecting to the PC via the USB cable. I tried Windows 98 SE,
Windows XP Home Edition. Both have the latest Windows updates. I also tried installing the supplied drivers. But, still no
success.

I called tech support. I was forced to leave a message. The voice mail said it would take 48-72 hours for a response.
