Im an avid photographer and was very pleased with the camera during the first year of ownership. Finally I encountered problems whereby the zoom did not work at all. It kind of got hung up and stuck. The camera has been pampered and I have never dropped the camera. I also encountered other problems whereby the camera would not focus. The focus gets hung up. I just sent the camera to the repair facility and was told they would give me an estimate before they do the repairs. The repairs cost will be at least a 150.00 plus parts. The camera is good in the beginning, but over the long terms it is worthless. I dont have a camera now to use, but hopefully the estimate wont be outrageous.

UPDATE 2015: ... and down it goes to one star. I cant believe, after only 5 years the camera stopped working. One day out of a sudden while taking shots at a birthday party the camera froze up, the lens got stuck and wouldnt detract, and the display would show an error message: Lens Error, Will shut down Automatically, Restart Camera. Looked around online - sure enough, a bunch of people have the same problem with this camera! Really? What kind of quality is this for an expensive camera like that? Very disappointed. My 10 year old Sony Cybershot DSC still works! It just shouldnt have happened. Repair cost at the local shop: $120! Bought myself Sony WX500 instead. ____________________________________________ I am an amateur and do not know a lot about all the settings and professional specifications. But I do love photography and I have been exploring and trying out different settings on this camera. Pros: -Color usually turns out very nice -Really great low light (no flash) and night shots! -Videos turn out quite well Cons: -I think for that price the camera should have came with the cover for the hotshoe. I bought one, but once on, the internal flash wouldnt work at all. -I was very annoyed with the fact, that the max size for jpegs is about 3MB. I would like to be able to choose lower compression for jpegs. -in Auto-mode, the internal flash function overexposes and I havent found the way to change this. -Also, you cannot turn on the internal flash in auto mode, which is annoying. On such occasions I just switch into Program or Manual setting and turn on the flash. -As with all point-and-shoot cameras, when the flash is turned off manually, most images turn out blurry. -Its not possible to zoom in/out while filming! - why??? -Zoom does kind of hang at times and it appears to be rather slow I am sure there is much more to say about this camera, but these are my impressions of it.
