I am a proud owner of this camera since past 5 years and does not come across any problem in this. I purchased this after doing an extreme research on the cameras for the cheap and the best price or below the range of 15, 000/- and I found this to be the best in place.
Although this is not a very professional camera but those who would like to get the feel of using DSLR can buy this. Picture quality is not very good but far better than normal point and shoot cameras. Sony comes with a lower range model with image stabilization feature which this camera does not have but comparing with CMOS sensor and lens type Nikon is better than Sony in lower range cameras.
Its user interface is simple and easy but sometimes get lag during overexposure of light and access memory space used. It gives you 16 Megapixel full HD images and video recording option with slow and fast recording modes also.
Taking pictures of fast moving objects could not be that easy with this camera but slow and steady images are excellent. Its full angle wide mode, back and white mode and micro modes are awesome as they give you plenty of options to play with.
Every time you turn your camera ON a big tunnel comes out to take picture which consumes more battery, thus it is recommended to keep your camera on till the end to save the battery life.
As I told earlier, it is good for normal photoraphy not for professional photography.
