Advantages: Easy to carry
Disadvantages: Too many to mention. See my review
This camera won the TIPA award in 2005 and was given the No 1 spot in Stuff magazine top 10 digital cameras.
For the reason above, I purchased the camera. Everything went downhill from then on.
1 - Has the worst lowlight quality pictures - grainy and dark
2 - Rubbish output when taking a picture in any condition, except on a bright sunny day.
3 - The back screen is too small, and easily scratched
4 - Poor build quality
5 - Sony memory sticks are too expensive compared to CF and SD flash cards
6 - Being a Sony, the technology changes very fast. This makes your camera out of date in no time at all (same goes with any Sony brand)
And now, the good part :
1 - Won the TIPA award for 2005 and also rated the best by Stuff TV in 2005.
2 - Compact and small - very easy to carry anywhere.
Thats about it really. I had to fork out nearly GBP350.00 and really wanted to return the camera after using it first time. Too bad, the shop (at Tottenham Court Road) did not have a returns policy.
My advice is, for a digital Camera, stick with the big boys in the game, like Canon, Nikon, or Leica...
Summary: Stick to Canon, Nikon or Leica...
