5 out of 5 stars WOW!   September 7, 2008

This camera far exceeds my expectations. The in-body IS (image stabilization) works like a charm, and i love the fact that i will not have to spend an arm and a leg for a lens kit. My next camera will definitely have this feature. The two lenses that came with this package are great starter lenses, 1 wide angle and 1 telephoto....what more do you need as an amateur photographer? The build quality is pretty good and i do not think it is heavy at all like i heard before purchasing. Thank you Sony!

I began wanting a better camera a couple years ago when my cousin shared with me some of the pictures he'd taken with his high end Nikon DSLR but of course I couldn't afford to go that route. I shopped around for a while and when I was ready I bought this camera. I must say that so far, in a little over a month and a half and a couple thousand pictures later I'm still happy with my purchase. The camera does everything that I wanted and I'm able to use the lenses from my old Minolta Automatic Focus lenses.

The only thing I'm not happy with is the timer function. It turns out that when you click on the shutter and activate the timer, the camera focuses and doesn't adjust the focus anymore. This may sound trivial but if you happen to be in front of the camera when you press the shutter button it'll focus on you up close and then it won't adjust the focus again when the field changes. This seems like a simple fix, the auto focus should take place a second before the timer runs out and the picture is taken. This'll give everyone time to get in place. The other solution would be to have a wireless remote shutter switch. I wish I had that option.

Well, at least I know now what to look for next time I make such a purchase.

I immediately noticed that the anti-shake feature didn't work. Amazon sent me a new unit instantly, no questions asked with a prepaid UPS label. Great service from Amazon.
