Reviews around phone (4.66 of 5)

  • I like using a digital camera for events or places where i dont like to take my phone out, but i guess ill still be taking my pictures on my crappy little samsung phone
  • If you have a smart phone that takes good pictures (and most do nowadays), this camera is a useless bauble
  • So, if you have a nice smart phone, this camera won't offer much additional.
  • Everyone should have one of these if they don't have a smart phone camera.
  • This model is very small and almost as thin as my smart phone

Reviews around point (4.48 of 5)

  • I would recommend this product to others looking for an affordable point and shoot camera.
  • Nice little point and shoot camera with the resolution to give my pics on Ebay a nice crisp look
  • If you are looking for a good quality point and shoot camera for a lowish price and a small body, this will be perfect for you.
  • but that does not take away from its performance as a very nice point and shoot camera.
  • Build quality (feel) and screen are weak points.

Reviews around image (3.89 of 5)

  • I just wanted something to take some quick, but sharp images
  • At first the pic's look perfect from the camera monitor but when you transfer the pictures to your PC or develop the pictures the color looks dull and the image is grainy
  • I have seen great image quality from Sony cameras before, and so expected the same from this camera
  • Panoramic images looked great with the image zoomed out to fill the screen on my laptop, but when you zoom in you can tell the quality isn't quite there
  • A few weeks ago I noticed while taking still shots the image was distorted with lines going through them

Reviews around quality (3.83 of 5)

  • Picture comes out as blurry and camera body is made of cheap quality plastic
  • The size and price of this item was the positive, but the quality of the photos is terrible
  • I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality camera.
  • I wanted a small, lightweight, easy to use camera that takes good quality photos
  • It's possible my expectations are too high for the price, but although I don't usually have a problem with the photos themselves, the build quality on the camera has been disappointing

Reviews around sony (3.82 of 5)

  • sony lost my business, last sony product I will ever buy.
  • I know lots of people use their phone for pictures, but for me, you just can't beat a good Sony Camera!
  • The Sony is actually easier to use, faster processing time and good quality photos for when a cell phone is not an option.
  • Which brings us to something else that is useless---Sony customer service
  • Sony totally cheapened up the cybershot~~~now made of plastic....

  • Very nice camera with great telephoto lens and excellent photos.
  • It has an amazing lens, works great in low light, is tiny, easy to use and takes much better pictures than my iPhone 4.
  • I had a camera very simular to this and accidently dropped it and broke the lens after enjoying it for many years, thought this was the same
  • (The lens wobble is noticeable when the camera is closed; it doesn't affect the quality of the photos.

Reviews around product (3.61 of 5)

  • Great deal and product for the price - easy to use and learn!
  • To summarize, I found this product to be very slow to process each frame, and then very fragile.
  • I can not understand why any manufacture would put a product out like this without a decent operating manual
  • I recommend this product, I have compared its definition and color with my lumix
  • I have many different SONY cameras and this one is by far the worst product I have ever purchased from them.

Reviews around card cover (3.34 of 5)

  • The battery/card cover is rather flimsy and could easily be broken accidentally and it takes longer than I would have expected for the camera to get
  • Resolution is more than needed, so no problem with that, but the lens was not as crisp and sharp as I had hoped for.
  • My enlargements from my DSC830 are just as clear as professional as if they come from my larger cameras
  • okay, it's only when you start zooming into the photos you'll notice the slight noise that comes with the photo, other times the noise can be apparent straight away, along with the photo not being as sharp as it could
  • The battery/card cover is rather flimsy and could easily be broken accidentally and it takes longer than I would have expected for the camera to get ready for the next shot, no doubt to do with the 20.1 mega pixels.

  • The type of photography I do, I need clear and detailed shots every time
  • It took a little time to figure it out, but super awesome.

  • Shutter speed is a bit slow but most in this price range are
  • Shutter speed is slow, instructions are incomprehensible and type is too small to read, pictures are blurry
  • Pros- price, small size, takes clear pictures, simple to useCons- slow shutter speed at times, takes a few moments to review pictures, can be too basic
  • Also, the shutter speed for photos is rather slow, but it's a cheap camera, so that isn't too abnormal there

  • Truly underwhelming, on top of adding a plastic body to the camera, giving it a cheap feel
  • It's a similar size, but the feel of the camera is better, as is the quality of pictures.
