    The camera is small and easy to use. My only complaint is the back is difficult to close every time I take the memory card out.

    This is my 3rd Sony camera. Its size is small to fit in a pocket. However, the camera is very slow to take pictures and can be blurry. Wish I could return it.

    I just wish you could use lithium batteriers because if you forget to charge you are out of luck and also if at function and have taken alot of pic you have to recharge wheras if battery operated you could just put in new battery

    Purchased this camera as a gift for new teen. Thus far, the camera has worked nicely and has good imaging. The only negative is that it does not come with a SIM card. Otherwise overall good camera from our experience.

    The camera works well, but in low-light settings the picture is so-so. Additionally, if taking a lot of pictures, I would recommend purchasing a second rechargeable battery. Good camera, great price, glad I selected it for my application.

    So far this camera has delivered on every aspect that I was looking for. I have always been a Sony fan, but have never tried their cameras. So after having it on our recent vacation I am pleased with the quality.

    It was an excellent camera. However, I had one very similar. The LED viewing screen was smaller than I expected. It was exactly the same as my other camera. I'll just put this money toward a new camera in the future. I was happy that there was no problem in returning the camera.

    Trouble using all the operations of the camera due to lack of adequate directions and first time user. Had to download parts of the directions to operate camera. Still have functions that I don't know how to use.

    I feel like the camera is very flimsy and not as sturdy as the previous models. I was very disappointed especially in the area that opens to insert the memory card and battery keeps opening it is not as secure as older model.

    I have a Nikon D5000 but didn't want to take it on a cruise. I researched a lot of small cameras and this has been the best one. It is small, lightweight and takes great pictures.

    I purchased the Sony - Dsc-w830 20.1-megapixel Digital Camera - Silver & I enjoyed it because it so small & very easy to handle. None the less, after taking all of photos I could not install to my computer because the Micro SD could not show anything at all... So, I could returned it to local Best Buy store without any difficulties. I do applicate for the Best Buy representatives who was very communicable & very polite always. Thanks again & have a very nice day.

    This camera is easy to use and easy to setup. I love the panorama setting that it has. However, sometimes the correct setting is hard to figure out- like which setting for a particular light/background. I get a lot of fuzzy pictures sometimes or pictures that are just off as far as the lighting goes. If I had it to do all over, I would not have bought this camera.

    It takes fairly good pictures, but too small. No place to hold easily because of buttons all around the edge, had to use bag with strap to avoid dropping it.

    Replacement for my previous Sony point and shoot camera. This one works pretty well but doesn't seem to have as many functions as the one I replaced. Overall it is a good camera for taking basic pics.
