Advantages: Small and compact, made by Sony

Disadvantages: LCD to small, no zoom

As expected from Sony this camera is of high quality and design. It is easy to use in every way yet still contains all the necessary features to take some quality photos. The small viewing screen is a little small but still provides the necessary ease of access to the camera functions. Its small size also helps save valuable battery life. In all the times I have used this I have never run out of power.
The front slider provides easy protection for the lens whilst giving trouble free starting when you want to take a photo. Both this and the battery cover are well made and you dont get the feeling that they would be easy to break .
Access to the battery and card area is through one hatch, making it easy to change the card and charge up the batteries.
Information displayed on the screen is clear and precise. The battery life and remaining photo indicators are clear and understandable.
The actual camera size is perfect . Small and compact it can fit in your pocket at anytime without actually getting in the way like some larger cameras.
Photo quality is great, flash shots are also of good quality even though the falsh appears to be very small.
The only possible issue with this camera is that it does not have a zoom function. However, if you dont think you will need a zoom then it should not be a problem.

Well the only problem I had with this camera was the lack of zoom. It just made life a little to difficult when trying to capture that perfect image. Also, the 2MB picture quality is gettinga little dated but not enough to put you off..The only other thing was the LCD viewer was to small to be of practical use.

Summary: Small compact sony camera, easy to use
