compact
The camera is lightweight. I liked that the menu is easy to navigate. The picture quality is good. I did notice that the autofocus can be a bit delayed. I purchased this as a replacement for an older model Nikon camera. The price point fit my budget. The optical zoom is decent. The box included a battery, a USB charging cable, and a wall adapter. Overall the camera fits my needs. I haven't been using it long but so far the pictures have been okay. I think depending on your exposure settings and environment you may need to color correct a photo. I also noticed that you may have a blurry photo due to the autofocus delay. The video quality is clear and the audio seems to be good. Overall the camera was okay and budget-friendly. One of the big cons I had was that the battery hatch is a bit easy to open. So this may need to be noted if you will use it with a tripod. The menu settings are easy to navigate and set up. I liked that the LCD screen has a brightness setting so you can adjust it to fit your needs. Thanks to its compact size it's portable.

Size is a plus, but flash position is a minus.
Bought this camera to carry in my work bag and snap photos when the opportunity presents itself. My DSLR is wonderful, but just too large to carry around for occasional photos through the day. My phone camera is very convenient, but not very good at night shots. This camera is the perfect combination of both extremes. At 4 inches by 2.5 inches, it's small size is a definite plus. Slips into my work bag pocket without picking up a lot of space. I carry it easily in my shirt front pocket or pants pockets and hardly know it's there. Photos aren't DSRL quality, but that's expected with a camera this size and price range (though it's better than my phone camera with night shots). The only negative is the flash is situated in an awkward position in the front and my middle finger blocks the flash sometimes. Holding the camera one handed (in your right hand), most people put their thumbs on the back, index finger on the shutter button, and their other finger curl around the front and side of the camera. The problem is your fingers sometimes get in the way of the flash and your photo is only half lit or not lit at all. Use this camera with two hands and you should be okay.

Great camera for the price!
I needed a back up camera since I use my regular camera quite often for my business and it was having some problems. This one fit the bill and was a great price also! It takes great photos and will work out well for my needs.

better than i expected for 100.00 pocket camera!
I expect a lot from sony as ive had some good items and my a6000 is really a good one. I had my doubts about the pics on here especially given the 90s release date for this model. As with all Sony items, this was way ahead of its time at that time. I do recommend the Intelligent Auto or Easy setting for most anything..I have had great luck with the Program mode i was concerned if it could take motion shots with my dog and for those i use snow or beach settings and it does fine
