I have been using this camera for more than a year now.and its simply brilliant. You just cannot go wrong with the user friendliness and impeccable results of this one. Plus its extremely compact & rugged.
The only glitch I ever suffered was when my kid shoved the zoomed out lens inside.essentially breaking the calibration. But Sony service promptly fixed it within 2 days. Besides that, it has NEVER let us down.
It convinced my sister and another friend to buy the same camera.and post just this one perfect product experience, we chose Sony for our DVD, DSLR(H9-absolutely brilliant again.) & Camcorder(DCR-SR220E) as well.
The most amazing feature of course is the size.less than an inch thick, its the perfect fit for all occasions. However, the brushed exterior is prone to scratches, so be careful about its storage!
Besides all reviews, you just cannot go wrong with a Sony.its always worth the price.
