| Finally a great camera that takes great shots!! This is my 2nd Sony W55 camera. My first one I bought on ebay used, I should have known better! That one eventually, the lens kept popping in and out and the camera wouldn't function. I'm hoping this won't happen to this camera. I went to Circuit City this time to buy it though, and purchased the 2 year warranty. I've gone thru 6 digital cameras in 4 yrs. This is BY FAR the best quality of pictures! My first digital camera was also a cybershot but it was a 3.2mp (i forgot which model) It was a good camera, however, not great at close up shots, and evening pics. And eventually, that lens stopped working for me also. Sony has yet to prove me wrong that a good camera can last longer than 3 years!!! If you do ebay, as I used to in the past, this is a GREAT camera for that!!! I used to have to always "fix" my pictures after I took shots. This camera, I never have to do any editing. I ALWAYS have red eyes in everyone's cameras, this one. I haven't seen one picture yet! Maybe I've been lucky to take pictures in better lighting perhaps. Anyhow, the reason I got this camera is of course the reviews, but my biggest reason is for evening/dark shots. Takes FABULOUS night shots!!! I also have an Olympus FE-210 takes good pictures, however the night shots. IMPOSSIBLE! Anyhow, for the price, this is really a great camera. I haven't quite mastered all the "special" things about it yet. But for me, #1 rule for digital camera has to be that it takes great general shots. Anything "special" is just an added bonus that I will rarely use. |
