Although the camera itself met my expectation I am extremely disappointed with the software quality it came with. The software itself is amateur software and not something you expect to get from Sony, especially after spending $1000.00 for it. The help file for the software is limited and short.
Bottom line – buy it only if you have no plans to edit your work on your computer!

The camera is not as good as specified. Still image quality is good when taken fron very short distance but not good for the outside natural scenes taken from far away. The video quality is not so good. In low light you can’t get the real colour. Specially in night shot. During video recording its pick up nois from the outside, which is very bad when you play the video. I dont think the video image quality is better that the SONY Hi-8 camera (which has much less price and not Carl Zeiss lence.). The PIXELA software frovided with the camera is too bad. If you convert to MPEG-1 using USB cable vedio quality will be useless. I think they should mention in the manual about the quality of the video using USB cable and the provided software. If it is useless I cant understant why it is provided with the camera. The software is not also user friendly. There should be some sample video using that software, so the customers can understant bout the vedio quality before buying the camera. Most of the video options are not available in memorystick if somebody wants to record in memorystick as MPEG-1. Also the video size is very small.

This is the camera I have always wanted. The easy on-screen menu makes things really easy and the optics are the best. I had a bad time trying to explain my wife why did we need a camera like this one, but the first time she shot a video she was really fascinated. Great job!!! It is even cute!!!

Touch screen is unique. First model that I have seen with it. Sort of dummy proof. Good for your average home video shooter. However, if you are planning to shoot professional video, DO NOT use this camera. The 10X optical zoom is a joke. Sure the 120X digital zoom is decent, but unfortunately, you suffer in quality. If you want a combo digatal camera/camcorder, you could do better. But if all you want is a tiny camcorder that can take high quality home video, then this may do it.

Mine was stolen last November 2008, but up until that point I had used it alot since 2003 on 7+ international vacations and it never failed me or gave me any problems. Having it so easy to connect to my PC via the USB I could download the movie straights to my video capture software. It also doubles as a webcam if you need it to;)
Im just SHOCKED at how expensive it still is after all these years, I was gonna re-buy it as a lot of my tapes are mini DV so its definitely one I might get again but since the price is still high Im gonna search alternatives. But yea this has got some nice features and was extremely reliable for my 5 years of usage. Just thought I’d share.
