this is a fantastic camera..
||Posted .this is a great camera....the long telephoto is incrediable and the many features are great. the big reason I got it is the long telephoto lens, WIFI to send my pics to my phone and laptop and the quality mega pix of the photos and the panoramic photo option. this camera is just like a slr camera but smaller and don't have to take other lens like telephoto and wide angle lens. this camera is better for a more photo photographer experienced but able to learn about this camera.

Amazing camera in this price segment
||Posted .Have been using this camera for couple of weeks and could extensively use it for two recent outdoor trips. Initially when I bought this camera the picture quality seemed to be average and it didn't like a great purchase, felt like could have sent more to get something better of the existing camera that I used. But after a couple of days use, it felt great and worth purchase. Outdoor, indoor and low light shots comes out nice with good detailing. Macro shots are Ok but not bad and the 30x zoom for a point and shoot is great. It also takes good moving shoot and the intelligent mode works very well for auto setting. Lots of manual settings capabilities too though haven't tried it extensively yet. Overall, happy with the purchase.

Takes excellent pictures
||Posted .I take a lot of wildlife and wild flower pictures and find this camera does all I want it to do. The 30X zoom lets me take pictures of wildlife without having to be close to them. The pictures come out sharp and clear. The panaoramic feature is easy and great for landscape pictures. The camera is easy to operate and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Super Zoom Camera
Posted .This is a great camera with a big 30x zoom. Easy to setup and use. Photos and AVCHD videos are great. I mainly use the Superior Auto mode. I also use the Program mode because i can adjust contrast, saturation and sharpness. I took photos in bright sunlight, cloudy day and at night. The camera performed very well. I recommend using Superior Auto for night shots. Battery life is very good. I always carry an extra battery just in case. If you want a small camera that takes very good photos, videos and has a big 30x zoom, then this is the camera to buy. Best Buy sells it for $399 and that is a very good price for what you get. This camera is highly recommended.

Awesome camera for traveling
||Posted .Got a great deal on this camera and took it on a trip to Ireland! The zoom was the best part because I was able to take beautiful pictures with crystal clear zoom. I wish it had a neck strap so I didn't have to keep taking it out and putting it away all the time.

Great product not only for a beginner
||Posted .This is my third Sony Cyber-shot camera. I take most pictures indoor when light isn't always perfect, but my pictures are thanks to the Exmor R technology; and with an optical zoom 30 I can take more pictures sitting in one place. Also digital zoom works fine. I think that it would be better to have an external charger, so one may charge spare battery when using the other.

Great camera for anyone!
||Posted .This camera has more functions than I'll ever use and the pictures are extremely sharp. It's my 7th camera and the best of all of them.

Great quality photos
||Posted .Photo quality, zoom feature, options for photo settings (e.g., panorama) are great. GPS feature is fantastic. Only concern is that color in flash photos can sometimes be "off."

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs a battery charger included for the Rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NP-BX1)?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You get a standard sony charger that charges the battery while inside the camera. If you want an external charger than you have to buy one. I purchased a DigiPower external charger at Best Buy for $25 and it works very well. Charges the battery in 2 hours.
