Review: I was thrilled to see how this camera performs under low light conditions and the colour mapping is very much ok. This is a very good camera for close-ups. You can print poster size if you take images with maximum resolution. It’s packed with all good features but...... here are the problems - a) The slightest shake and pictures go blurred if you are not using the flash. b) Battery section is too weak and could be easily broken. c) 3X optical zoom is not at all enough for capturing greater details for objects far away. If you are interested in not just poster size prints go for a camera with higher optical zoom, 5MP is good enough for 4 x 6 prints. d) The lens mechanical support got broken when it happened to hit a rod with little force and got misplaced. I visited the nearest Sony service and to my disappointment they said it will require a lens change and will cost me $300 without even opening and analyzing the damage. I had bad experiences with Sony service centres earlier too. So now after six months of regular usage my camera has finally found its way to the dustbin. I am very disappointed.
