Best Sony Digital Cameras - false Interchangeable Lens, 215 to 415 Images Battery Life, 1.7 to 2.5 in. LCD Screen Size

'Poor low light performance'

'very uneven exposure'

'when capturing low resolution JPEGs, the cycle time slows to 1.92 seconds'

'SO 800 shots started to get pretty fuzzy'

'By ISO 400, edge definition is already soft, if not terribly so'

'contrast and saturation are average at all ISOs, getting less saturated and contrasty as the ISOs rise.'

'The top sensitivity setting of ISO 3,200 yields extremely noisy images with completely blocked up shadows and fine details.'

'lacks hotshoe and raw file support'

'To the upper left of the lens is a black glossy oval with a non-intuitive icon on it: this is the wireless remote sensor.'

'The LCD is very crisp although it can be hard to use in bright light and I was squinting much of the time I was using it.'

'Expensive.'

'Sony has implemented their new menu on this model and, as with previous units; we found it a little sluggish with a noticeable delay when navigating.'

'convoluted menu system'

'very confusing new menu system'

'the spec is pretty standard ultra compact fare'

'shots taken at ISO 1600 appeared noisy and blurry, and the ISO 3200 setting produced pictures that looked more like impressionist paintings than photographs'

'Photos taken at the camera's maximum sensitivity of ISO 3,200 are nearly unusable, becoming so covered in noise that they look like they were drawn on shag carpeting with spray paint'

'image quality is so poor'
