I bought this camera to replace my previous Sony camera of the same origin after the previous camera fell on an open lens and was no longer covering the lens. I'm not buying this camera to use in place of a more expensive DSLR, nor do I expect to use it that way. I know the camera has its limitations, but I also use it for what I believe it should be: a point-and-shoot pocket camera with better capture for travel and everyday use. Pictures. I'm still developing some of the camera's features to correct night shots, but so far I'm very happy with the quality of the shots. It has a deeper zoom than my previous camera, allowing me to shoot closer than my previous Sony camera. I don't have any problems with the Sony software either, as I usually take out the SD card and put it in a card reader. I tested the wired cable and although it installed the drivers, I was actually just accessing my photos as if it were a USB drive. The camera itself is a bit soft, but I usually hold my camera in soft leather. Travel bag when not in use as I have had high end cameras and am aware of the fragility of all cameras and hardware inside. Innovations compared to the previous model: Most functions have been merged into the selection wheel, which is also a button. The screen is slightly larger. It has a wider zoom. Some digital enhancement features provide better stabilization.

While I didn't get a chance to really play around with the night shots, I was able to get some decent shots of buildings with neon signs, and I only had trouble with two night shots. I have uploaded some pictures of this review. - Pictures taken through a window in daylight. Evening photos were taken after 10 p.m. and showed neon, sulfur streetlights, and other commercial lighting. Please note that I only took the photos to test the camera out of the box. Okay, so they've had a bit more time to play around with the camera, they've completely overhauled the digital aperture in the easy-to-use image menu in the SCN menu, and in the rest are a few more night-time aperture menu options. I was actually able to get some pretty good night and low light shots, although this camera is designed for easy point and shoot. I didn't need any extra guidance, and the aperture menu was easy to navigate: just press the button on the dial and move the dial up or down to find what I want to use.
