Advantages: easy to use, great look and design and value for money Disadvantages: i would of been perfect if its zoom action was better
the 12 pixle camera is at the top end of the market as it is very unique in design and the slim design makes it very fashniable. i love the camera and its easy to use feature as most complex things have been created for easy use.
the video is upto what memory card you use but with a 4gb memory stick you can easlly store enough pictures and videos form a weekend trip.
in my opinion it has a great zoom in action and its battery last longer than standrad cameras. sony is one of the leading brands and i own the same camera and wont be in a hurry to change it.
the price is cheaper than most cameras with smilliar specs.
great camera ...
