The best Digital camera I have owned to date. I received this camera as a gift and was a bit reluctant at first to use it as I had bought a perfectly good Casio Exlim Z600 which was renowned for its battery life.

But boy was I in for a surprise . The picture quality was so much better than the Casio. The macro lens is superb. I can take really good close ups of stills for loading to web pages. My girlfriend has a small jewellery website that and has paid people for professional pictures of her stock. The sony was able to take pictures that were good enough to post as well.

I have used this camera now at many family functions and wedding. The comments I have received about the photos are great. All the other digital camera held by friend at such functions have not been as well performing as this one. In fact my relatives request I take photos and share them around.

To conclude a fantastic camera, a bit expensive but well well worth the money.
