Great but tricky
Date of Review: Dec 9, 2007
My husband purchased this as an upgrade to my DSC-T1 cyber shot. My biggest complaint about my previous camera was low lighting...pictures just would not turn out if the lighting was not ideal.
This camera takes awesome pictures in low lighting! It brightens up the picture really nicely without having to do any manual fixes.
The one thing I don't care for is limited touch screen. It is more cumbersome to switch modes from camera to video...because everything is done via the touch screen. While you can use your fingers, the stylus is better because all the icons are small...so the tip of your finger is a little too wide to work with.
There are some really neat features, including an enhanced slideshow feature that you can add music to and change transition types. I haven't tried the software piece yet.
There is also a "smile" feature...you can set the camera to only take a picture when it recognizes everyone is smiling. It works about 70% of the time from my testing. The more people in the picture the more tricky it is.
Overall I like the camera, I just wish it wasn't so dependent on the touch screen.
