I have had this sony cyber shot camera for a while now and it has not disappointed me for even a single moment since the day I first bought it. It is a 18 mp camera with 30 times optical zoom and 5 times digital zoom. The camera also shoots 3d images which I can watch on my 3d tv. The camera has various modes which differ from scenery options to situation based modes like sport, slow motion and many more. The camera has two options which can be used to zoom in an out with it , first is with the digital zoom in and out button and second is a manual zoom in zoom out feature which can be activated by locking a switch on the side of the lens.
The lenses are from Carl Zeiss which are famous for only making camera lenses . The camera flash pops up when it detects any low light environment , it can be turned off if required. The display screen can be adjusted and used for convenient and easy photography. Overall , I would recommend this camera for people who are not professional photographers but want to experience how professional photography feels like. It is a good camera and clicks beautiful life like pictures.
