This camera is an improvement of the T70 which is a great camera,
they made it thinner and lighter it is truely a pocket camera.
With more mega pixels and a 4x zoom this camera is hard to beat.

Small enough to fit in my pocket, however, after 1 week, the screen got a hairline fracture. Even with the pointer pen, screen easily stores fingerprints. Buttons are hard to push with pointer, and navigating is not easy. The flash is VERY Bright (blinding - the kids no longer enjoy having their picture taken), and I have not figured out how to soften it. I have read the manual cover to cover and still have difficults getting the performance I need. First batch of pictures were VERY Grainy (my old Kodak 3.1MP camera took clearer images).

Sony replaced the screen quickly, which was very nice. Perhaps I just need to get acclimated with it more.

I bought this camera with the explicit intent of using as a 'pocket' camera - keeping it with me at all times so I could take pictures when I wanted, so I was looking for a fairly automated camera. The auto function is great and the camera sets itself up beautifully to automatically take the perfect picture, yet is easy to set up for yourself. I really like the large touch screen. The only con to this camera so far is that the red eye flash and the regular flash really are blinding as other reviewers have mentioned. Often get odd expressions on people's faces if the red eye flash goes off. I tend to keep this function off and fix the image later.

This is our third Cybershot to own in the past 5 years. We have loved them in the past and were impressed with all the features. The zoom is horrible on this camera. Pictures come out grainy when using the zoom. Outside the pictures are great, but life happens in both. We returned it after one week and are still searching for a good camera in this price range. We own a Digital SLR (Pentax) and love taking pictures. My husband is into messing with all the settings. Our previous cybershot took better pictures at a fraction of the cost. No matter what setting we used, the pictures were dark and grainy inside with the zoom. We had to get right up on the subject to get a clear picture. We expected more the price and were dissapointed. Lesson learned: more expensive and higher resolution (and zoom) does not equal a better camera!

I bought the camera a month back. I have taken about 50 pictures so far in both auto and manual modes.
Pros:
The picture quality is very good in both modes.
Touch screen has good resolution (unlike Nikon s60) and is very responsive
Compact size and easy fit into any pocket.
Very light weight.
Smile detection works like a charm.
The same cable provided can be used to download to PC and connect to TV
Cons:
Because of the size, it sometimes slips from your hand when taking photos.
Sony should include a camera cover along with other accessories.

Overall i would rate it 4.5 out of 5. It is the perfect analogy for a compact digital camera!!
