Summary: So Far So Good
Comment: Got this camera a week ago, and am happy so far, I am not an experienced photographer by any means and I will admit that there is more functions than I can use, but it does come equipped with easy to understand functions for those of us that just want to take some good family pictures. I used it at my sons football game last night and had a little trouble with blurry pics when they were moving, I even tried it in the sports shooting mode and the pics justcame out dark. When they did stand still, the pictures were great. I do have some advice about getting that extra lithium battery for a back up. First of all I recommend it for those times that you need to get those important shots and the battery goes dead. This camera only uses the "infoLithium" style batterys, DO NOT purchase a cheaper one from other battery stores, you will get a black screen that tells you that you need to use only "infolithium batteries" and will have to return it as I did. I will tell you that Buy.com had the best price for this battery (sorry Amazon). If a lot of functions and settings confuse you, then this may not be the camera for you, but if you have some knowledge of camera function than this is a great buy. I will also mention that I had a little trouble finding a camera bag to fit this camera. Sony has a case that says it will fit, but it looks like there would not be too much more room for extra items that I like to carry with my camera. I did find a case at ebags.com from Crumpler called "the 3 million dollar" the best way to describe it is a small version of a book bag. it has great protection for the camera and is very comfortable to wear and has room for the extras I mentioned. Hope this review helps.
