not as good as older models

I've always bought sony products due to its great user interfaces, but I have been sorely disappointed by this product.
First off, I own the 3MP Sony Cypershot DSC-P72. I wanted to upgrade to get better video and better megapixel. And the camera does fine in those respect. I have no complaint in terms of its picture quality.
However, compared to the P72, this one is terrible in terms of user interface. Why?
1. It has a terrible menu navigation system. With the old one, I hit menu and everything is there, in a really understandable format. (This was one reason I always felt that my Sony was superior to the Canons out there. I've always found the Canon menu really hard to navigate.)
This new one has a "home" menu as well as menu button. It's very confusing and I can't find the things I want all the time because I don't know which menu I need to look under.
2. It doesn't allow you to print the date on the picture itself. I have the Sony digital printer and I had to manually set it there in order to see it. But this means that I can't see it when I just view the pictures.
3. Sony decided to go the route of Canon and added the wheel with preset shooting conditions. I was fine with the presents being right under the menu button before. This made for a very small navigation area.
4. For some reason, they didn't put the "view pics" under the wheel. So now there's one extra button crowding the navigation area.
5. You have to buy special batteries now. That was the one thing I *loved* about the old camera. It took regular rechargeable AA batteries. Sure, the batteries died fast, but I could recharge them or buy lots of AAs on the cheap. Now if I want extra batteries, I have to go buy an expensive one.
6. I had to buy a new memory stick. It's not sony's fault really that they came up w/ a better format. But I had lots of the old memory sticks and was indignant to find that I had to shell out more money now to buy new ones.
7. It no longer has an email format. Yet another GREAT thing about the old camera. You can choose email format and it'll save 2 pictures for every shot, one in regular size, and one for sending it through email. The DSC-W90 does not allow you to do this so I now have to shrink every picture that I send out manually.
All in all, I'm disappointed with the functionality of the camera. Sure, the picture qualities are fine. But I find that I don't take pictures as much because I get so frustrated when I try to use the navigation tools or try to find features that existed in my old camera but not my new one. |
