Sony DSCWX220/B 18.2 MP Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

We got a lemon. We bought the camera the end of January and it stopped powering on at the end of March. We contacted Sony and were told to send to a repair place 900 miles away - at our expense (over $12.00!). We received it back. It worked for 1 picture and then had the exact same problem. I contacted Sony again. They wanted me to send it back to the same place that couldnt fix it to begin with! They kept referring me to another rep who would then call back and repeat the same line - send it back to the repair place. I wanted a new camera, this place obviously didnt know what they were doing and it should not have gone bad after 2 months of limited use. I finally resorted to facebook and was told they would call this afternoon. They did - and gave the same response! What did they not understand?? I have talked to over a half dozen people about this and never got any satisfaction. You would think they would just replace the camera and be done with it. Thankfully, Amazon has offered to accept this return. We will not replace it with a Sony (which has increased $20 since we bought it in January) because the true test of a company is not in the sale but in handling problems. Sony failed big time in that department. Its unfortunate, because it was decent camera the few times it worked...

I have owned dozens of digital cameras over the years from small compacts models to large DSLRs. I had the predecessor camera to this one from Sony (DSC-W180). It would fit in my pocket when mountain climbing. It served me well on my hiking adventures taking videos and stills. It took great pictures and videos and was very rugged. When it hit a rock too many times and the case broke I had to replace it, so I ordered this camera figuring a newer Sony would perform better. Was I wrong. This camera is terrible. First, the processing time after you take a picture is very long. More than a two seconds. There is no way a camera in 2016 should take so long to process a still picture. It is very annoying. Second. the battery life is very short. Probably half the battery life of my older camera. Third, the flash is terrible. Again, it performs worse than the first generation of digital cameras. It producing strong "Flash in the face" look where peoples faces are over exposed. This is cause by poor feedback circuits in the flash control system. I played with all the flash settings and it never worked well. Finally, in low light the camera is just OK (without a flash). I would have hoped for better with the backside illuminated sensor. I think the designers of this camera tried to jam more pixels into the camera for this model and took a hit on all the other parameters of the camera. I am planning to throw away the camera and get a different one.

Compact size and 10x optical zoom seems nice but every time I have taken this camera out I have been super disappointed and resorted to using my cell phone camera. The first critical flaw is the 4-5 second "processing time" after taking a picture before you can take the next one. The next big flaw is the slow and inaccurate auto focus. There is no manual focus or lock-focus-at-infinity setting either. 18.2 MP of blurriness and missed shots is useless.

I was leery of buying another Sony product after my last camera failed, but I had been pleased with it until it stopped doing the autofocus, so I took a chance. The new one came in and it seemed to be okay, until I tried to plug in the charging cable. the charging cable would not fit the port, neither would any of my adapters. So in this case I must assume that all of these cameras will have the same defect. Which makes them absolutely useless and to be avoided at all costs. And for me at least this will also include every Sony product, until they can assure me this is not the case. And if anyone thinks this is too harsh, then deal with Sony or any of their products. One star is much too high

I got a lemon - Brought this new camera to my trip to Japan. Used carefully by what the instructions said. It stopped working actually on the 2nd date of my trip there, but, the worst, it didnt tell me until Day 5. You could imagine how many once-in-a-lifetime moments lost in this camera, by the time I was informed by this machine. Anyway, this camera is in the process under the warranty. Its a joke. Update on 04/15/16 - Just talked with Sony Customer Service to claim the one year warranty on this item. The customer service person expressed nonchalantly, "Send back for free repair within 3 months. No replacement regardless.", even I showed and proved that this camera was considered almost a "DOA" (Dead On Arrival) item. She kept saying, "No replacement. So want me to process repair or not? Thank you!" After hung up, I simply tosses this lemon to the trash can, for I can never afford to lose any more of my future precious pictures/clips on a brand new camera that needs to be repaired after 2-day lifetime, as a start.
