Good step from the regular point N shoot camera to pre-SLR. Love the optical zoom and that it handles just like our point n shoot Sony so the controls are almost the same so no complications handling the controls on this new camera!

It did not take good pictures at all. I took it on vacation with 3 grandchildren and if I got 5 good action shots I got a lot. If they were sitting or standing still it took fine pictures but that is not what I needed or explained to the salesman I needed. I was very lucky that Best Buy took it back and I bought a different camera that will take more action shots. Would not recommend this camera at all if a person wants anything other than still shots. If they do they can get a much cheaper model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Carl Zeiss lens is excellent for any picture situation. I've been taking it to NFL games and using it to shoot plays from far distances with results that have been very pleasing to me. The 50x optical zoom is just incredible. 3D photos are pretty cool as well. I would definitely recommend this camera for anyone looking for a bit more than point and shoot.

This is our second Sony camera and my husband and I are both very pleased with the purchase. The photo quality is better than some professional photos I have seen, and the speed at which this digital camera snaps shots is great. The camera's ability to zoom in on distant items and create a clear shot is impressive.

For very low light, such as night photography, this camera could be a little better. But overall, the pictures and video are good and it is easy to use.

After having an ordinary digital camera, my husband updated mine to this. It has a built-in manual so if you are confused about a setting, it explains it. Buttons are easy to read on the device as well.

Awesome camera for the money. Not restricted to SONY memory cards. I love it. Sat in the nosebleed section of Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indy at the state wrestling tourney in low light and zoomed in on the action like I was matside with crystal clear video! Outstanding pictures!
