Great little camera--though I could wish for more zoom.
(4 out of 5) by Sheri in Reho on Apr 10, 2009 (Rehoboth Beach, DE)A few months ago, I decided that since I regularly take digital pictures and upload them to my Flickr site (www.Flickr.com), it was about time to upgrade to a better camera. The economy being what it was, I decided that I didn't want to blow a HUGE wad o' cash--just enough to get a good quality camera that had higher megapixels than what I already had (a Casio QV-R40 with 4.0 megapixels).
A Flickr friend had just bought herself a Sony Cybershot and liked it a lot, so I set about doing some research. As it turned out, Amazon.com had this particular Cybershot model on sale at the time I was looking, so I got a great deal as well as a great camera.
The Sony Cybershot S750 features 7.2 megapixels, a 2.5" LCD monitor, ISO 1250 (high sensitivity) and a 3X optical zoom. In hindsight, I wish I had gone up a notch to a higher zoom but, all in all, I have been very happy with the camera. It was tremendously easy to learn to use. I am not a big fan of "reading the blanking manual," so having something that is easy to use right out of the box was a bonus.
It has a very quick & easy wheel that allows you to switch between different types of shots quickly. The options are the standard auto adjustment setting for photos, a program auto setting (which I haven't tried yet), a movie setting, a snow setting for taking pictures in a bright white landscape, a waterside setting for beach and other water shots, a twilight setting for shooting in low light w/o flash, a twilight portait setting, a landscape setting, a soft background setting and a blur-reducing low-light setting.
The battery supposedly would allow you to take about 280 shots on one battery charge, which is pretty darned great compared to my older camera. However, it won't take much without an additional memory card (for an additional cost, of course). I got the Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo with 8gb of memory and that has worked very well.

Camara regular
(3 out of 5) by Juan C. Otamendi on Feb 24, 2009 (Venezuela)Cámara con estándar normal, no es gran cosa, pero te saca la pata del barro. Consume mucha batería, y Sony debería usar tarjetas de memorias mas económicas como la SD. Compacta y liviana. Buena para los pocos exigentes, bueno por el precio no se debe esperar mucho aunque hay unas un poco mejores por menor precio.

As expected
(4 out of 5) by Sasha Gottesman on Jan 21, 2009I did a lot of research before buying this camera. I think it is a great camera for the price I paid (less than a hundred bucks) however you have to familiarize yourself with the settings to get the best pictures out of it. The one with the Carl Zeiss lens takes better pics, but it costs quite a bit more. I like my camera and it looks great too. Memory sticks are coming down in price too so it was not really an issue to have to use them. One complaint is that it does not have a real viewfinder for taking pics in low light (it seems to be deemed obsolete by most camera manufacturers, but I miss it).

Great camera for the price
(4 out of 5) by S. Jones on Jan 21, 2009 (Jamaica)I gave this camera to my daughter for Christmas and she has been clicking her way to nirvana. I live in Jamaica, and getting the sony card was a little challenging, but we managed to find that for the additional storage. Also unfortunately that memory stick does not fit in my card reader. Other than that, the camera has been great so far. Perfect for a budding point-and-click photographer.
