Full Review

I am a kindergarten teacher and mom of 3 rambunctious kids. I do not have the time or mental energy to fiddle with apertures, lenses, setting bla, bla, bla I want to point and shoot and get the PERFECT picture every time. This camera delivers! Last week i took 80 photos of my students for a mothers day project--they were all awesome and the moms were thrilled! It is simple to download the pictures. I have never been so delighted with a camera. It involves no thought whatsoever. This is the ideal camera for a working mom-on-the-go. The settings are simple to use and quite obvious. The 'snow' setting--should be used when... filming in the snow?! The "nature" setting should be used when filming... nature! Pretty self explanatory. You really do not even need to open the owners manual--just point the camera and snap away!!!Even the delete feature is easy to use. Other cameras involved several snaps and clicks but not this Sony!! I am completely satisfied. In fact I am so satisfied I broke down and bought an additional memory card for our family trip to Alaska. I am convinced this is the perfect camera to capture outdoor and indoor pictures on this trip. I have never really used the video setting yet but I plan on experimenting with it before the trip. I will let you know how the feature works for me. With the ease of the other features I am not worried in the least. I am sure I will be able to take some terrific video! This camera is also small enough to slip into a jeans pocket or an evening clutch! How perfect is that??!
