    Got this for my mom because of the similarity of the controls to her old Sony camera. There are a few changes to the interface, as expected, but she misses the old one. :)

    This is a great cam for the money it is a little small for my very indelicate hands lol but the functionality is great. I got it because of the Carl Zeiss lense outstanding!!

    about this so that my kids can learn how to take pictures other than a phone now or taking more photos in the moment on their camera and leaving the phone to be a phone

    The camera takes some time to get use to it. I do not like the on off button as well as the point and shoot button. I feel they need to be more prominent on top of the camera.

    I purchased this camera to help document the beauty that I find on my travels, and it hasn't let me down. It is compact, reliable and delivers good quality photos. Are there better cameras out there? Sure but for the price, this one cannot be beat.

    I broke my pocket camera while on holiday in Las Vegas and needed a replacement. This one looked like a great camera for a good price. I have been very happy with it.

    This camera works ok for its price but not really what I am looking for. Has been sitting in my drawer. I used it twice. Blurry pics.

    After narrowing down to a small budget auto focus canera, stumbled upon this model at the best price available at best buy. Got shipped on time. No issues with shipping.

    My daughter loves this camera. It can occasionally get blurry, but that her inexperience with photo taking. Small and compact, and very durable. Was a great sale deal.

    Great camera for my son. Didn't realize it didn't come with a memory card though, so for the price, it was a bit much without the card. It does take ok pics though.

    Just like the camera that my wife dropped and it broke or lens would not come out. The best Bury rep (Adam) tried everything he could to assist me in getting it working then assisted me in buying the same camera with an upgraded version.

    I cannot say much about the product, as I purchased it as a gift for someone. Sony is a bit more expensive than other brands. However, what I like about Sony is the reliability.

    Bought this as a present for my 10 year old neice. She was quite happy with it. I set it up and took a couple of pictures once she opened it and am happy with it as well. If you want a point and shoot this one is a good choice.
