    This camera has all the standard digital features one wants for a pocket camera. The size and protection of the hard case make it a good value.

    Shorter battery life than I expected, but easy to use and lightweight. Consistently good pictures, even underwater. I need to read the manual for full use of features though. Enjoy the touchscreen and like the slide cover with auto on/off feature.

    A Sony Camera 18.2 MP, 5X great picture level for less than 200 USD. Smaller than your smart phone and better images for sure.

    Great pics and video resolution. Used it once under water, tried again no longet waterproof. Luckily it still works, but lacks its intended use. Disappointed for a Sony product.

    Gorgeous Pictures and video

    I bought my wife this camera for an early Christmas present because she was going on a cruise. I researched underwater cameras for affordability and picture quality. I came to the conclusion that this camera was the one I was going to purchase and let me just say that it blew my expectations out of the water... The camera takes gorgeous pictures both in and out of the water and crisp full HD video. I will say that it does slightly over saturate the colors some but lets face it that is what most people do with instagram anyways. I would highly recommend this camera to any one looking for a good camera for snorkeling. It is an excellent price for the quality you get. Since we have purchased this camera 3 more family members have bought one for themselves as well. Great Camera A+

    Didn't last very long

    I bought this camera to replace a Nikon waterproof camera that was stolen. I spent quite a bit of time reading the other reviews for this camera. I then went to Best Buy to see it in person to get a better feel for the camera. The store I went to did not have this model in stock so after some consideration I went ahead and bought it on the Best Buy website. It was shipped quickly and was well packaged and in perfect condition upon arrival. It seemed well made and I liked that it was small and fit in my pocket. I also liked that when I slid the cover down it was immediately ready to use. A few weeks later I took it to Colorado and it did well in the cold and snow. The pictures were good. I then went to the Florida keys 2 months later and it did not do very well. It got sand in it even though the cover was closed. Also the very first time I put it under the water in the pool, not the ocean, it broke. It shut off and would not turn back on. I would not buy this product again. The pictures weren't bad but previous Nikon and canon point and shoot cameras were definitely better quality than the Sony. While it did seem nice at first it didn't last very long for the price and I'm not happy at all with this camera. Definitely not waterproof.

    I really wanted to make this camera work, but unfortunately, it did not last a weekend in Vegas (which, in all honesty, if it did, I would gladly have kept the item rather than return it!). Fact is, this camera's image quality is similar to that of older versions of the Sony camera's which is unfortunate, but they have their work cut out for them. Hopefully the next iteration is much better than the one now.

    Flash for this camera is very bad and when set up on Auto mode not working consistently...I called the Sony Customer Support and they told me this camera designed when the light is low, that flash is working...I think Sony designed this camera to make a decision for photographer !!!! The pictures of this camera is so dark and have very poor quality...If you want to use your flash and have a good picture, BE AWARE OF THIS CAMERA.
