Customer Ratings & Reviews

My family and I have used this camera twice now for water vacations. It is a great camera.

The camera takes amazing video and the underwater feature is great.

This camera is a good quality one to start using for the first timers, nice high quality pictures and video capability.

I HAD TO RETURN IT WHEN I GOT IT NOTHING WAS WRAP IN PLASTIC IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN USED BEFORE NOT SURPRISED

Perfect for vacation and very slim. Love the look of this camera

No complaints yet, I have not had it that long, hope its good!

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.

excelent price ,excelente camara,friendly sales person.I love BEST BUY BRANDON,FL

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.

This camera is easy to use and take great pictures. The video quality is great as well. I found it so easy to use i got one for my 70 year old parents who stated in my day cameras took film. Once we got past refecting on the past they were off and shoot photos of the grand kids

Same as the pink camera, this unit showed up used with damage.

This is avery good camera with small form factor, water proof, shock proof etc. Easy to take pictures in the swimming pool. the accessorry to hanng the camers in the swimming pool is very useful

This camera is a perfect add on to my everyday carry bag. It's fast to turn on and grab a shot and then easy to put away just as fast. I love it.

Excellent camera, this is second time i bought it because first one was lost on the sea, Bad luck! Very usefull to film and take excellent photos

I LOVE this camera. It takes amazing photos and is so small it can fit in the back pocket of my jeans...even the really tight ones! lol The underwater pictures and video's always turn out AMAZING! We have had many underwater cameras and this one by far takes the best pictures. Like all underwater cameras, you need to take extra care after it has been in the water. All seals need to be checked regularly to make sure there is no damage. Every underwater camera I have owned seems to have a shorter life span than a normal camera, due to the nature of the product. This camera is no exception. Ours failed after having it for 2 years, which is still longer than any other underwater camera I have owned, but I have no problem giving this camera 5 stars. I am buying this camera again to replace my other one. By far the best underwater camera on the market.

I bought this camera to take on vacation with me to Jamaica so I could take pictures and video and also some underwater if I needed to. I'm a beginner so I wanted something that was very easy to use. First, you can't take any pictures with this camera with a memory card. You have to supply your own memory card. There are A LOT of options to this camera and it's very light and compact. I easily figured out how to take basic pictures and video. The pictures and video have a beautiful quality to them. As another reviewer stated, it doesn't take the best pictures at sundown but overall it's a good camera. I still have A LOT to learn about this camera. I do wish that I could connect to the camera via WiFi so I could easily post pictures. Another thing (a small thing) that annoyed me a bit and I have to get used to is the sliding front face.

An OK camera for normal use and has many functions. We used the camera on our July trip and had good results. When we took it on our Aug trip and used it in about 2-3 feet of water it died. Somehow water got inside the camera. There is no apparent problem with the O-ring seal and the closure. Of course it is out a warranty and Sony said to send it to Precision Camera repair who wants $166.00 to repair.

I got the previous generation of this camera as a gift and was excited to take it on a snorkeling trip in the Caribbean. Having used it only outside the water for a few months, I looked forward to taking pictures under water. I was careful to ensure all the seals were clean and free from dirt/dust before taking it out to the sea. Unfortunately after one use under water, the camera did not work any longer. I wasn't surprised because this camera has a sliding cover and I'm puzzled why Sony would design a waterproof camera with moving parts. I called the customer care department numerous times but without any proof of purchase they were unwilling to even entertain an option of replacing or even investigating the potential root cause of the issue. I was redirected from one department to another until they called me back from the "right" department just to tell me they couldn't do anything and hang up. Very disappointing product and an even more disappointing customer experience from Sony.
