Many appreciate its lightweight design and strong low-light performance, while some find the size a bit larger than desired and express concerns about the lens cap's design. The camera's price point and features are also frequently praised.

    Overall, the camera seems to be good quality. The ergonomics of the camera appear to be pretty well thought out. I know it doesn't affect picture quality but the led screen seems to get smeared easily because of it's location. One of the reasons I bought this particular camera, was for the 50x zoom and so far I am satisfied with it. Overall, I am pleased with camera.

    Having owned Nikon cameras with multiple lenses in the past, this is a great "vacation camera" without all the bulk. It has a tremendous zoom, both eyepiece and LCD viewfinders, and many options. It can be a simple point and shoot camera, but has many other options, including video. I was fortunate enough to get one that was an "open box", so the price was even better.

    Good all around camera with both viewfinder & adjustable screen. No need to lug around lenses because this camera has a 50x optical lens as well as 21mp. With all the various setting plus manual controls & an excellent auto setting the user can get very creative.

    During the years I've gone through a lot of digital cameras. I did always tried to pick the industry leader. This time, I didn't have enough funds to do so, therefore I picked this SONY camera. What a great pick! This one is performing tricks that I could not do with my high end DSLR. Light to carry, rich in features, unsurpassable in zooming, what else should I desire. I do love this camera.

    I was looking for a camera to take photos of our boys who are both playing travel ball. I was not sure if I should go with the SRL kind which is a lot more money due to the lenses. After reading the reviews on this Sony I decided to give it a try and to my pleasure it is a great camera. The fence lines just disappear as I zoom in "from the bleachers" to take picture of the boys pitching or in the outfield. I also don't have to worry about expensive lenses breaking while I change them to get the zoom since it is all one piece. I say, with this camera I have the best of both worlds, beautiful detailed pictures, with a budget I could afford. A team mom liked the photos so much she went and got one for herself. It just does the job you need with only one piece of equipment. Great battery life!
