| I bought this cammera almost a year ago and it has been awesome...one of my favorite things about the camera is the beach setting. Since i live near the beach i spend alot of time there and the pictures really show the rich blue color of the water and there is rarely any blur. The one thing that this camera lacks is capturing in dark situations. When it is dark the pictures often become blurry with wierd streaks of light. Besides that I love this camera...it is tiny so it fits anywhere...it is durable (trust me i have dropped it several times)...and the battery stays charged for long periods of time. |

 "Noice cam but annying red lazer light" | 2008-09-04 |

I got this camera for my girlfriend and she loves it. It's cute, small, and slick looking. And most of the photos taken with it look pretty good.
My one complaint with it though, is that when you hold down the button to take a picture it shines this red lazer light into the eyes of the people getting their picture taken and then it goes off...and then it snaps.
So not only do they have to squint and hold their pose but then the red light tricks them when it goes off and they start moving about just as the snap actually happens. |

| I must admit that after first purchasing this camera I thought it was a fairly good purchase, however after a recent trip to Disney World with the kids I have to express my new opinion and its not good. After our return home I attempted to print out some of our memories and found that the pictures, which looked wonderful on the viewfinder and on the computer, were of the poorest quality. We bought this camera to replace a cheap 3 mp Kodak easy shot, I wish I still had that camera. The kodak's printed shots far surpassed the Sony (both from the same printer). Needless to say we are in the market again for a new camera. Unfortunately one area you dont want to go wrong, especially with the kids, is with a camera. |

I bought this camera last december for an incredible price, it's a wonderful camera, worthy the money I paid for it BUT...you need to be warned, today my camera just stop working for no apparent reason, when I turn on the camera the lens come out and go back at least 3 times, an "access" legend appears on the screen and finally the camera starts beeping and says turn off and turn on again, you can go and see the stored pictures but you can't take pictures anymore.
The reason I am warning you is because while searching ways to fix it I learned that this is a very common problem with this camera, SONY needs to take care of this issue.

| I got this camera in March. It's my second digital camera, I lost my first one, but had been thinking about getting a new one for awhile. I have been very disappointed with the testiness of this camera. First off, I had it as a bar and someone dropped about 5 drops of a drink on it and the zoom function refused to work. Eventually that cleared up. Then, I brought the camera to the beach and the lens would not stay open-- the camera would read "access, please power on and power off". Apparently you are not supposed to expose the camera to sand. My old camera was at the beach 6 times a summer and never had an issue. I took the camera to the repair shop and after a $25 estimate was told that it would take $125 to fix a $175 camera. Frustrated, I took a can of forced air and managed to clear the sand out of the lens. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this camera. I have had nothing but problems. The picture quality is a bit better, but its not the pain it has caused me. |

| I got this thing and barely ever used it.. took OK pictures but I dropped it ONCE in the grass while i was camping and the shutter wouldnt open, the flash bulb blew out and I couldnt open or close the shutter! I sent it back and they wouldnt fix anything because I had tried to manually close the shutter to see if it would reset it self or something? But no.. they wanted me to pay something like $140 on a camera that I got for $150.. I always trusted Sony but now im going with another company. What a piece of junk! Get it if you know you will never ever drip it.. not even on soft grass. Good luck, losers. |

After almost 4 years owning the P100, I decided it was time to get a new camera, mostly because my husband and I had been sharing it and sometimes we both need it. Also, I wanted something smaller that could easily fit any purse. I almost went with the W120 but to be honest I wasn't sure if I needed some of the fancy functions. Plus I got an awesome deal on the W55.
Anyway I was hoping the W55 would work as good as it looks, and I'm glad it does! So far I have no complaints, it has pretty much the same functions as the P100, and a much bigger screen which I love. Another review mentioned the buttons being too small and I have to agree, I usually push the playback button with my nail and not my fingertip.
I take most pictures with flash so I can't comment on the blurriness a lot of people talk about, but I don't think it's that bad, just a matter of finding the right setting and using a tripod if necessary. Just be careful when taking video, it will do it with the settings you last used for taking pictures (such as black & white). I am very happy with this camera and I am hoping it will last for many many years! |

| I purchased this camera a over a year ago and it has become my enemy! I loved this camera in the beginning and now I hate it! This camera takes blurry pictures no matter the circumstance! I tried everything and even flipped through the manual several times to see if I had a setting wrong. I ended up getting so disgusted with my pictures and bought an Olympus Stylus 840. I have to say that it has been a lifesaver! My pictures have not been blurry and while using the zoom option, the pictures are still clear! I would not recommend this Sony to anyone. I would recommend the Olympus Stylus with the image stabilization and the bigger lens!! |
