good for the price best digital camera

good camera - lots of useful features, but takes some getting used to. Very good indoor low light shots but some reds are exaggerated compared to the subject, not a deal breaker given the detail you get but worth mentioning. I take a lot of detail-oriented close-ups for use in online sales, and this comes in very handy for that. I like the automatic lens cover. The zoom works well. Cameras under $300 and went for it and wasn't disappointed.

Pros
  • excellent overall performance
Cons
  • negative impression

Good if it worked

Don't make the mistake of buying that used camera like I did. It worked for a good two months. The picture quality is excellent, the lens worked well, the zoom is good, everything was fine and in order. One day I turned on the camera and the lens was out of focus. I was afraid to play around with it to avoid making it worse, I tried several things to fix it and one worked. The internet said to hold down the 'menu' button while turning it on and it worked! About two weeks later I went to the…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Something else

What else do you need?

We bought this camera because my wife didn't want to take any of our Nikon DSLRs with us during our recent trip to Spain and South Africa. It quickly became our favorite camera. After comparing the quality of photos taken with the Cyber-shot with similar photos taken with the Nikon D70 (with an 18-200 zoom lens), it turned out that they were almost the same quality. The Nikon metering is slightly better, but it doesn't matter in Photoshop. The zoom is fantastic, comparable to a 150mm lens on an

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Little things

Everyone points and shoots - grab it while you can!

I'm sorry I don't have the energy to write a better review but if you're looking for a great point and shoot that won't break the bank, go get it Please get the H70 while it's still available. If not, then this H90 replacement is a great replacement. The DSC-H70 is actually a 2011 model still sold by (NEW) Revain and their partners who still stock them. Although this camera was $229-$249 last year (current H90 price), I bought it for just $175. You can buy it from one of Revain's partner stores

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • not bad but...

Terrible photos in incandescent or bright light!

I had an old Sony dinosaur that took 1280x640 photos, maximum quality. It weighed a ton and was a solid block 1/2 cubic foot of its own weight (so it seemed). So it was the BEST time to upgrade. So after seeing the great reviews for this camera and being happy with my previous one even though it was dated I happily ordered this one! God what a PAIN it was. We have incandescent bulbs, and no matter how many "automatic" settings I tried, I couldn't get images without a yellow cast. In addition…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Not as thick as other tips
