What's great about it: It takes AMAZING photos
What's not so great: so far nothing
I bought this camera about 2 months ago. Its my 3rd digital camera and so far my fave. The picture quality is insane. I've had people ask when I got a DSLR, while looking at my pictures. Its VERY, VERY tiny which at first I didn't like but now I love that its so small i can take it with me EVERYWHERE. I love that the front slides up and protects the lens and flash, that was a huge selling point for given that my old Samsung broke because the camera turned on and the lens extended while it was in travel bag. The bag got jostled/smushed and the lens broke. I won't have that issue here. I love all the features, from the HDR to the background blur settings its great. I like that you can view your photos on a timeline or by the date they were taken. Which is great if you rarely delete your photos, and want to show someone a specific set of photos. Again the picture quality is top notch. I strongly recommend this camera for someone looking for a good point and shoot.

What's great about it: Cool effects and features; picture quality is amazing
What's not so great: Touch screen can freeze up occasionally
This camera is probably the best, small camera I've ever used. I bought it to carry it in my purse so that it would always be ready. It has a great battery life and it has some of the coolest effects right on the camera instead of having to do these through PhotoShop all the time.
I have a few issues with it, but one is just a pet peeve more than an issue.
Sometimes the touch screen freezes up for a second or doesn't always register the first touch on a button. The other being that I see no way to turn off the picture review, so sometimes, at sporting events, I will miss a great photo op because it hasn't returned to the shooting mode yet.

What's great about it: Fast shutter, excellent video and pictures quality
What's not so great: Nothing
Love this camera. Is really easy to use, is super fast at turning on and taking the pictures. I have a 3 years old girl, and she never stand still for a picture, with this camera I took beautiful pictures of her. Totally portable, very delicated. The video quality is awsome! I had to buy an extra battery, because I used the video a lot on my trips.

What's great about it: compact size, stylish look, some fresh technologies
What's not so great: touch screen issues, akward to hold and use, overpriced camera
Bought this camera back in October. I've decided to get super compact camera that will easily fit in a pocket. Nice camera but not as good as advertised. Takes good pictures like any other Sony brand point-n-shoot camera but defenitly not DSLR-quality camera as claimed to be.
My biggest complain is a touch screen. Sometimes it doesnt respond and some time its overly sensitive (you barely touch it and menus "jump" all over).
Also the way camera designed makes it akward to hold, it's pretty thin and you dont wanna bump your fingers in touch screen, then you've got lens in upper corner on front side that easy to cover with you fingers when you take pictures and last but not least - the shutter release button is poorly disigned and has a "flat" feeling like it's been pushed in.
Other than that seems to be pretty cool camera.

What's great about it: Touch screen
What's not so great: Storage medium
Great camera for the $$$, it's small doesnt get in the way of anything takes great pics. My ONLY issue with it (and leave it to Sony) is the sales associate sold my wife an SD card with the camera, well no where on the box says it only takes micro sd cards!!! So she brought the camera home and we couldn't use it, I had to run to radio shack to get a micro sd card!!!!!! So if you buy get an extra battery and a MICRO SD card not an SD card.

What's great about it: Its size and the picture and video quality.
What's not so great: The lid of the camera, it could get worn out easily.
This is a great camera for casual users. It's easy to use and love the touch screen feature, only three buttons. In my opinion, it is the latest expression of advanced technology when it comes to digital cameras. Pretty light camera, fits on the palm of your hand, and it's probably thinner than the index finger. The battery life is fantastic, it gets charged quickly and it's good for taking up to 250 still images with its original battery (I recommend to buy an additional battery just in case). The only one disadvantage I see is its lid, which could get worn out easily. Love the 1080 video resolution and the 3.3" LED touch screen.

What's great about it: Carl Zeiss lens and it's small size
I'm just your average guy taking picture of family, friends, and the occassional outdoor/indoor event. I've only had the camera a day now but I love it. I really like the touch screen modes. Mode P allows you to snap like 10 pictures at hight shutter speed in under 2 seconds (does not work with flash on). I really like how the flash fills the room and doesn't make people look they arewhite as a ghost. It's got panerama capibility, 3D shooting, 1080i movie mode, timer to take pics, easy picture taking mode. It takes great indoor pics so far without the need of the flash too. I saved the best 2 parts for last; it's very small and fits in my pocket with ease. The hundred or so photos I took last night all looked great on my computer. I have to say, for a tiny little camera this thing takes great pics and it's because it has a Carl Zeiss lens. The perfect small camera!!
