This camera arrived with more wear than mentioned in the advertisement. It also has a small black dot on all images that will not go away. At first I thought it may just be on the screen, however its in the image. The price of this used camera is far too high for what I received. The return instructions were also very specific to printing the label in color and making sure the battery image was taped on there (it never arrived with this notice, but needs to be shipped back that way) They also mention charging you for shipping it to you in the first place and shipping it back. Very unhappy with purchase. Would not recommend.

I got this for my dad as a holiday gift. It came w/ rechargeable battery packs and a simple charger. As state, there was no memory card or adapter, which is no surprise as it's mentioned. I had to get a Sony memory stick adapter so my dad could store photos on a micro SD card. The photo functions work well and it captured videos w/s sound fine in my test, considering the price.

The product arrived 2 days early which was awesome. Inside the package was everything listed plus a simple thank you card which I thought was nice. I was worried about buying something used but I shouldn't have. The product came in a box with lots of bubble wrap which made me happy to know it wasn't bounced around in transit. I really couldn't tell it was used until I looked on the bottom. Just a few tiny scratches. I took a few sample pictures and was amazed at how good the quality is for such an older camera. The LCD screen was free of any marks and no issues with colors or anything weird. I bought this for my mom since older camera's are easier to use for her and she absolutely loves it. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

I like everything about this camera; size, ease of use, view finder, resolution. After a few years it started to malfunction for no reason in particular. I'd turn it on and the lens would go in and out, in and out, and it would tell me to turn the camera off and then on again. Didn't solve the problem.Since I had all the battery, memory sticks and etc for this model, I ordered a used like new one to replace it. Within three weeks the new/used one started doing the same thing as my first one. What is there, some time activated chip that causes the camera to malfunction after it is of a certain age? Very annoying.

I bought this camera for an international trip. It worked as expected.Things I loved:- Video mode for capturing sound and the "feel" of a place- ISO 1000 non-flash mode- EXIF data included in JPG files- Fantastic battery life - I took 300+ photos daily and the battery barely dropped below 90% capacity (recharge nightly for heavy use days)- Form factor- Automatic focus works almost every time- easy zoom switchChanges I'd make:- Stiffer "mode wheel" - it was changed easily when putting the camera in my pocket- higher ISO modes - 1000 wasn't high enough to capture the night Chinese New Years parade in Kowloon China. I have lots of blurry images.- include a mode that prevents digital zoom - limit it to optical zoom capabilities - Found this setting in the menu while in Costa Rica.- motorized lens cover and zoom; seems this will be the first thing to break- Menu isn't intuitive to me - seems the menu is one of the best in the digital camera world. I've gotten used to it.- Add a quicker resolution change mode for 7, 5, 3 MegaPixel resolutions. By default, I use 3, but for fine art, I'd like to change to 7 without diving into the full menu system.- Memory should be SD, not Sony memory stick- Plug for transfers should be USB, not proprietary- Battery charger should be over USB, not external or proprietaryMy next camera will:a) avoid the Sony memory stick-based cameras and go with a SD, Mini/MicroSD based solution for compatibility with my other portable devices () and built-in laptop ports.b) support higher ISO modes for better night time pictures without flashc) USB for charging and file transfersOk, I've traveled to Costa Rica and Argentina with this camera and have edited my prior review slightly. I'm adding 1 more item for my next camera - manual exposure control. Why? Well, while in Iguazu Argentina, I found myself on a full moonlight tour of the Iguazu Falls (Argentina side). The moon light was more than enough for my eyesight to work and have beautiful views of Garganta del Diablo (Devils Throat), but none of my photos turned out, none. I also tried a few movies - nice sound, but no, nada, moving pictures. Fortunately, I met a couple with an SLR and was able to acquire some moonlit photos they took. Their photos required a 2 second exposure and a steady hand.BTW, this camera produces grainy photos at ISO 1000.

I bought this as a present for my wife. I was looking for something that she could carry in her purse. the automatic functions are easy and functional. It is not an enthusiasts camera: too hard to get into the menus. The screen is easy to turn off(this sucks battery power). and it even has an optical viewfinder(a rare finding lately) the optical viewfinder helps to get steady pictures for those of us with the shakes. The pictures are clear and the colors are excellent. The drawback is the that sony batteries cost an arm and a leg. The wire for downloading pix is multifunctional and very proprietary(read that as expensive if you lose it)
