- Good points:
- Great camera with super lens.
- Bad points:
- I think I was sold a defective model. The shutter doors didn't close after a weeks use, the camera asked to restart due to dropped sensor and numerous problems. As I am on a 3month holiday and bought especially I am very unhappy.

- Good points:
- Quality shows better on prints; I'm awaiting these from a professional lab so it is difficult to comment yet. The camera is light (in weight) and has all the features that make photography easy. The pixel count is high so resolution should be very good. The Sony case is exellent: it is effectively an ERC (an ever ready case)
- Bad points:
- The flash is just where I hold the camera but it is easy to allow for

- Good points:
- Great image quality for the size, which can approach a DSLR. A very comprehensive feature set. I particularly like the focus peaking with manual focus.
- Bad points:
- A great disappointment after reading all the reviews prior to purchase. The main problem is the appalling battery life. It is supposed to be a camera that you can carry with you anywhere and not miss 'that great shot'. Sadly all the features and image quality count for nothing when the battery lasts 5 minutes. Several times I have turned it on to check the battery which is displayed as fully charged, only to then go to take a picture later that day to get the "battery exhausted" message. Perhaps mine is faulty; I wish I had returned it within 30 days. It is going back to see if there is a fault.
