Score 4.0/10+ Sleek, good looks. Picture quality ok
- Camera hangs all of a sudden. Memory corruption occurs even though we use Sony Memory stick. it a takes a lot of time to take a snap after u have taken a one. Generally not worthy of the brand Sony. Had high expectations but was badly let down :( ...
