MISTAKE number one! I can't believe that so many reviews have not picked up on the terrible focusing abilities of this camera - what is the point of having 10MP if you can't focus on distant or small objects? Sony have really let us down with this and I don't think I'll be back in the SonyStore very soon. Another point - if like me you thought that it would be a good buy for its Marine Pack... THINK AGAIN! The terrible user interface means that if you select the correct menu icon from different places - you get access to different parts of that menu (well done Sony!!!). Then once you've been on 3 different trips and take mediocre underwater shots, you find out where you were going wrong. If you have the casing on, all button presses need to be pressed twice if, unless of course you're pressing it quickly (again - great work Sony...) AND the single shot/video button is actually a change mode button, once you add this all together you've missed all the shots you bought the camera for! I think mine will be on e-bay very soon together with a Marine Pack! I bought this camera on initial reviews… MISTAKE number one!

Was looking for an excuse to buy this beauty, and you just gave it to me. Cheers mate! Nice one Michael, I’m getting this camera as I…speak.

Where I feel a lot of the expert reviewers miss the point is that this is obviously designed for those buyers who want a camera that does a good enough job of taking pictures contained in a package that has a design to die for! As a lifestyle product it looks just wonderful, and if that is important to you then you will find that you can easily live with the results it produces. You will certainly turn heads! Outdoor pictures are particularly sharp and vibrant at all zoom levels, and I suspect that is what most users will use it for. Don't be caught up in the technical hype; while it may not be the very best this is not a bad camera by any stretch of the imagination, although you will struggle to see the point of the ISO3600 setting which is practically unusable. Just be prepared to shell out for an extra battery, but with a touchscreen LCD of this size that is to be expected - but again, battery life is not that bad either all things considered. Overall I can thoroughly recommend this camera for the point-and-shoot buyer.
