+ It's such a good all rounder camera and a stylish looking one at that. Great image quality on LCD screen and size also the internal 4GB memory helps so much. Love innovative touch screen, was tricky at first but you get the hang of it. Loads and loads of features and settings. Top marks in my book.

- The only fault i have is the small buttons beside the screen, accessible if you have nails or very small fingers!

Jennifer, Plymouth , “Female Stylish Funny Blonde!”

+ The smile feature is awsome. I didnt think it would work all that well but it really does and its so handy for capturing the moment perfectly!
the picture quality is next to none. I had the cybershot before this one which was the model down from it and the picture quality of this one is a lot lot better. everything about it is awsome and its pink which is also great!!
The touchscreen is really sensitive as well so very easy to use. You wont have to press buttons a million times just to get them to work as your finger isnt pressing hard enough etc! Very good camera. Its a must have for someone who wants the picture quality of a professional camera but just wants a lil compact camera which is very funky and not a huge professional one!! Would recommend

- No bad points at all. Excellent.

+ looks good

touch screen
good image quality and features

- internal lens means zooming is done by mirrors and so quality although still really good isnt as good as a camera with an external lens. no complaints though!!

Charlotte, London

+ Love the colour on the pictures, The touch screen makes it easy to use. Great ways to look at your pictures in the camera, thru the albums or by calender or organizing them into favorites and so on.. The internal memory. The design is sleek and beautiful. small. zoom and micro is great.. I just love the whole camera

- Was a bit hard to get good colours on inside pictures in poor lightning.. They came out a bit red but that was a setting problem I figured out by changing the ISO. . Not perfect flash pictures in dark for example in a club , but they are still coming out great.

+ Sony always make good quality products. I love the size of this camera. Perfect handbag size. I like the idea you can buy it in different colours. The camera I bought was white not blue. I like the automatic features. Good idea for people who are not photographers, can't go wrong.

Product Features

Camera Type	Compact
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
resolution (Megapixel)	8.29

Optical Zoom Ratio	3
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Screen Size in Inches	2.7
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Digital Zoom Ratio	6
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Image Stabilisation	Yes
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
Colour	Multi
The main colour of the product.
Memory Card Slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Media Format	Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	Memory Stick PRO Duo
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	Memory Stick PRO Duo High Speed
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	Memory Stick Duo
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
PictBridge	Yes
An industry standard allowing images to be printed from camera to printer, without needing a computer. CIPA PictBridge Standard Website
Macro Mode	Yes
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
Video Recorder	Yes
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
Manual Focus	Yes
Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.
Timer	Yes
Having a timer function is essential if you want to get into the shot yourself. Make sure your camera has this feature if you plan to go on holiday and capture photos of you and your friends or family having fun together.
Under Water	No
An under water feature means your camera is safe to dive with, usually between 3 and 5 metres. Most dSLR cameras will require expensive separate housing so consider investing in a waterproof digital compact first.
Dimensions (mm)	86.8x56.8x20.2
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Weight (g)	129
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Body Only	No
dSLR cameras have detachable lenses and are sold in a variety of combinations. This facet lets you know whether the package your are considering comes bundled with a lens or whether it is just the body of the camera.
Resolution (Pixels)	3264x2448
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Shortest Shutter Speed	1000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
Longest Shutter Speed	4"
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
Max. Aperture Lens 1	f4.3-3.5
Measured in f-stops the aperture of a lens dictates the maximum amount of light captured. If you want to do low light photography look for something with a wide aperture like f2.8. The widest aperture is given as a range as it changes when your lens is zoomed in.
In-Built Memory (MB)	40000

USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
