Cyber-shot is tops!

by ccn158 , Sep 23 '00
Pros: Memory Stick, easy to use, long battery life
Cons: Expensive, weak zoom
It's taken me a while to get into the digital camera fad, but I'd advise anyone to start using these things. Just imagine: no film, no fuss!
And there's few better cameras than the Sony DSC-S50.

A big advantage of this camera over other...

Pros: Convenient, Great pics, easy to use
Cons: No viewfinder, expensive
I bought the Sony DSC-S50 about a year ago, and have used it extensively. I thought it would be nice to share my experiences and thoughts about this camera with the rest of the world.

Great all-around digital camera!

by pellis214 , Dec 07 '00
Pros: Small camera; intuitive menus; great pictures
Cons: Low zoom; delay when taking pictures; pricey
I was a big fan of SLR cameras in the past. I've used a Minolta 700 for about the past 10 years. I started having problems with it and decided to shop around for a digital camera. I researched a number of different models, first on the internet and...

Sony DSC-S50 experience

by shadow194 , Jul 13 '01
Pros: Lots of great features. Easy to use.
Cons: 4MB stick too small - will need more. Flash images gray out a bit.
I have a lot of Sony stuff, so naturally when I started looked into Digital cameras, I looked at the Sony models, along with others. Because the feature sets this camera listed matched my needs (at that time, anyway) better than the rivals, I purchased...

I can't take a bad picture with this camera!

by magnatran , Aug 08 '01
Pros: Rechargeable battery, quick USB download of photos, 15 second movies, in-camera editing of pics
Cons: Sony's Memory Stick not widely used by other Manufacturers
I bought this camera a few months ago when I was looking for a mid-range digital camera, in both price and performance. I'm a casual user - you know, weddings, parties, family get-togethers - so I didn't want or need a camera with with 3+ MPixels. I...

Almost the perfect digital camera...

by johnhyman , Aug 14 '00
Pros: Ergonomics and swivel LCD
Cons: Slow shutter activation time, accesory quality Issues
I purchased the DSC-S50 because it's a great overall design, ergonomic with a balanced feature array. Especially nice is the 2" LCD that can be protected from scratches when not in use and can swivel up above the body as well.

This...

Great for New Parents

by JFTaylor , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Ease of Use, Features, Quality
Cons: Small Standard Memory Stick
We've had our Sony DSC-S50 for about 6 months and it has definitely been the best digital imaging purchase to date. We bought it because my husband was about to start a new job where he would be traveling a lot, and this was a way to send him a new...

A best buy

by Gman286 , May 02 '01
Pros: Good LCD, MPEG capabilities
Cons: No viewfinder
The Sony DSC-S50 offers many of the same features of Sony's earlier digicams but in a much more compact and portable form factor. It's small enough to fit into a large coat pocket or purse but still hefty enough to provide a nice firm hand grip on the...

Wundercam

by Sylvesterkat , Dec 06 '00
Pros: USB, memory stick, zoom, movies
Cons: Difficulty seeing screen in bright light
In selecting a digital camera I tried out several in the electronics shop. I would recommend that if you are in the market for a digital camera, you do get some hands on experience of the various options because it's only by doing this that you get a...

Pros: Compact, free-angle LCD, optical zoom, memory stick media, movie mode with sound.
Cons: Cannot set timer to take 60 second movie, must hold down button for more than15seconds.
After months of research, this camera consistently came out on top. It features 2.1 megapixel resolution pictures, movie mode (320x240) and a free angle LCD. The camera stores pictures on Sony's Memory Stick technology, available up to 64mb. Uses a Sony...

Sony DSC-S50

by wkossert , Nov 25 '00
Pros: Quality of pics, size, weight
Cons: 4 Mb memory stick
I am very impressed with the Sony DSC-S50. I use a variety of digital cameras at work on a regular basis. The most common cameras are the Sony brands with the 3.5" disk. While they offer good quality photos, they are somewhat cumbersome to use...

Excellent camera!

by johnseg , Mar 07 '01
Pros: Flip up 2" LCD screen, Long battery life, USB transfer
Cons: 4 Mb memory stick is too small
I have been saving for a digital camera for over a year, so I didn't have to skimp on features. Usually, I find it hard to justify spending 600.00 on anything, especially a camera.
This camera, after trying it at Best Buy, had me sold! The LCD is...

Best purchase from Sony

by vjm321 , Nov 05 '00
Pros: movie mode/ rotating LCD screen/memory stick
Cons: price/no flash during movie mode/4mb stick
This is my first purchase of a digital camera. I was set on buying a Olympus digital camera, until I tested S50. After doing my research I was sure that I was going to purchase a Olympus, but after dealing with some salespeople that had no knowledge of...
