    This item is very good for the point and shoot requirement. I use it mostly to take close ups of electronic components at work, and it performs very good.

    The pan mode is quite interesting. Otherwise this is under-powered with unsophisticated controls. If you want more than point-and-shoot you will be disappointed. But for snapshots it is a low cost easy to carry camera.

    We spent $109 on this camera, on sale. Within 6 weeks the screen turned white and rendered the camera useless. Under warranty Sony will look at it but not before charging us $67. This was an awful investment!
