Another Good Little Point & Shoot

by Darkmistress Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 07 '06
Pros: Quick, simple to use, small, hologram thingy
Cons: hard to hold, cheap looking, lots of bumpable buttons
Years ago we bought a Sony Handy Cam and it has served us well. In fact if it weren’t for the shift in technology, we’d probably go on using it for several more years as it shows no signs of slowing down. So we have a leaning toward Sony products ...

The quality is exceptional... but talk about minor annoyances

by hyperpengysan , Jun 28 '04
Pros: Size, image quality, features (including some mostly useless ones), excellent lens, price, solid build.
Cons: Size, terrible battery life, bad flash location, no solid camera hold.
First, I've owned the DSC-v1 for about 3 months now and I've taken nearly 1.5 gigabytes of photos with it. When I bought it, it was the best "bang for your buck" 5.0MP camera. For $500, 5.0MP camera, a huge range of features, an excellent movie mode ( ...

Pros: Size, style, nightshot, fully featured.

Pros: Good images, nice styling, menus easy to navigate, manual features
Cons: Battery life, No black and white setting, Memory Stick price

Pros: Small, nice pictures, easy to use, speedy at taking regular pictures
Cons: flash recharge time, power up and down time only 4X zoom

Pros: sharp pictures. Nice manual controll of shutter and Apeture. Accurate color.
Cons: BAttery, sluggishness at everything.
