3 out of 5 stars When a 7.1 megapixel camera is better, there's something wrong!   October 2, 2008
agisnotme (Somewhere, GA)
I've had this camera since 2006, don't get me wrong it has lasted a long time (going on 3 years in March 2009) but the picture quality seems to be degrading. I don't know what the life of a camera is supposed to be but the pictures are very dark now and when you change to different shots like night time or snow, etc. the picture just turns to blur. I didn't notice it until my dad who is a photographer said "why are your pictures so dark?" And when I went on vacation this Summer I was trying to take photos of ships docked at night so I changed the setting to nighttime and it just turned to blur. (if possible I will post pictures) then I looked back at pictures I had shot a year ago and the pictures were much brighter. I never changed any settings so there was no reason for anything to change. My mom has had her nikon 7.1 megapixel S500 camera for the same length of time and her camera has always taken sharp (even sharper than mine when I thought my camera was working great) crisp, bright pictures. Bottom line, this camera has worked a long time. This was my first digital camera so I have loved it but I think it's time to retire it. Sony makes long lasting products but I think some brands like Nikon and Canon are made for cameras.


3 out of 5 stars Great Camera, except for when its in the mail.   March 25, 2008

I've had this camera for about 2 years. paid $450 for it new at best buy. Cool features, touch screen, ability to draw funny faces....It also takes great pics. I've had a few cameras and cant help but update every year or so. Normally i won't hesitate to give and old camera away but luckily i kept my last one. My DSCN1 has gone home to Sony twice. And is now broke for the third time. Not broke from misuse just broke, The first 2 times it was under warranty, but now they want $200 to fix it? I think I'll move on. The EN V line from samsung looks good.

Owned for just over a year. It simply is a Sony and there isn't much more to say. Outstanding in options, screen size, touch features, slide show, quality and basically in every way. Still a league ahead of all competition.


1 out of 5 stars very disappointed   October 8, 2007

This is my first digital camera. I bought it becasue of the name, and was attracted by the big 3" LCD screen which I hoped would be easier for older users' eyes. I first used it in my brother's retirement party. All 300 pictures came out with red line across them. My brother and I are both
disappointed. I thought maybe something wrong with my photo software, or
my be set up the features wrong, because later some pictures turned out
to be OK. Now a year after my warranty expires, not only the lines are showing on all my pictures, but all came with red color backgroud.
My friend had problem with his Sony lense (different model). He felt
lucky because he bought 2 years' extended warrenty, so it can be fixed with no charge. To me, I don't believe a good name should have such a defective item.
I had a BAD experience, I will never buy Sony camera.
Also, I bought 2 Panasonic HD flat screen TV, (one put in my living room,
the other in bedroom), the picture is much better than Sony.
I my opion, Sony is not top of the line any more.
