Bill Resting the camera on a chair, table or other fixed object works ok but we really need to use a tripod when in the video mode.Watch out for lights causing glare on the lense after dusk. Don't forget the tripod. I used it in Jamaica last month and was happy that I could just put it in my pocket where ever I went. I was so surprised how easy this camera is to take pictures. The resolution is wonderful.The Video works great as well. When zooming in (using the telephotomode) the camera apts to be shakey handholding so try to use a tripod when you can.The brief notes in different modes show up on the rear screen and are very helpful- great idea.Experiment with all the modes.
short battery life I thought. pictures vivid and sharp. What a camera. but still excellent in taking photos.
Maybe I'm seeing something incorrectly but I bought this new in April, '08 for $264.15 and now it says over $500.can't be right.anyway.Good camera. Takes pictures.
It must have a large LCD. They are clear and not at all blurry. No more wondering if I've taken a good photo or not.Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the Sony Cybershot. It was also only $299 here on Amazon.com (the price listed today is over $400). Well, this baby takes absolutely stunning low light photos using ISO or ISO+ mode. There's also NO delay between shots, which has been the bane of all the digital cameras I've ever owned. I know we all have, even with those cameras that have 'indoor' modes but require a tripod to take a clear picture. It is literally on and ready to shoot within milliseconds of hitting the power button.
I often couldn't tell that shots were out of focus until I imported them to my desktop. I am addicted to these modes as they often save me from some very bad shots. My last digital camera had a 1.8" LCD and it was painfully small. I am clueless on how to set anything manually. This camera offers a nice selection of scene modes, my favorite so far being the ISO+ for low light, indoor settings. I have four criteria when it comes to a compact digital camera.1.
3. Nevertheless, I won't be using my old digital camera even with its 12X zoom because the Sony blows it out of the water in terms of picture quality, compactness, and speed. It must have several scene modes. This Sony Cybershot is AWESOME.
The Sony Cybershot has a vividly clear LCD that is large and bright, perfect for spotting bad shots on the spot. My last digital camera had 12X with digital zoom, and it was disappointing to find that even though I was buying a higher end subcompact camera, the zoom was a bit on the skimpy side. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it only has 3X optical zoom, up to 6X with digital. Check out the photos I uploaded from a visit to a local aquarium in the Jelly Fish exhibit (where it's as dark as night in there). It must have a fast response time, both when I turn it on and in between shots. The ability to go from shot to shot without worrying about missing a great action photo or having to twiddle my thumbs while it writes to the compact flash or smart disk is a god send.2. Not only did I NOT have to use a tripod to get a clear shot, but the photos came out rich in color and detail, especially considering this is not a DSLR.
4. I don't know how many crappy photos I've taken indoors at parties, museums, and more. I bought this camera because Consumer Reports rated it #1 for subcompact digital cameras. It must take GREAT shots in low lighting. But the landscape, portrait, and other modes have all proved equally adept at clear, brilliant pictures.
The screen is big and clear. I love this camera. I've had it for 2 years and i still love it.
