Great beginner camera
This is a great price for everything you get, not the best camera, but for someone just getting into photography, it’s a good little starter!

Great pictures. Easy to use.
I just tested the camera at a band concert my son was in. Bright lights on stage. Dark auditorium. Back of the building. I was able to zoom in and take a good clear picture with good lighting. It took some playing with the camera but there were plenty of settings that I was able to find one that worked in that environment. It did require a steady hand and a tripod would have been an asset as taking a long zoomed in shot through the dark is one of the hardest shots to get.

Real purchaser and user, Very, Very nice for the price.
I bought this camera and showed it to a friend and he wanted one also. It takes very good pictures and has a lot of options for different scenarios. I would recommend this package to anyone. So may accessories for the price. All of the accessories fit in the camera bag that comes with. I know that this is not a "professional" camera but as a tourist for the money it is a very good deal.

Sony camera
I wish that people had written a full review before I bought this camera, so I could have been a bit more prepared. Let me just say first that I love this camera, but there are some good and bad sides to everything, I suppose, so I am going to list them since the only other five reviews have not touched on anything but how great the camera is for them.Pros: Comes with everything you need, there is no guess work!!!!Has a wonderful zoom on it. I got this camera just in time to capture my son in football practice, and it felt like I was really standing next to him. I could even use the LCD to zoom in and watch, even if I wasn't taking pictures of him.The instructions for the camera are actually in the box, you don't have to read them online.Very easy installation of the software, that is all online, and even compatible with Windows 8.Tons of wonderful features for an amateur photographer to feel like they know what they are doing (namely ME!!!) It is easy to find all of these features and start playing around with them so that you are familiar with them fairly quickly.Cons: The weight of the camera is all lens, so it is very front heavy. The rest of the camera is plastic.The flash has to manually be popped up with a small button before even the auto flash will work. If you are anything like me, you might forget that when you really need it.The lens cap does not fit very securely. It fell off while I was carrying the camera in it's case and I didn't know it.The screen protectors don't stick very well. I put mine on there, fairly easy after you cut it, fit it to the screen, especially if you have other devices that you protect. Mine fell off once I set the camera back down on the counter. I didn't even get a chance to carry it around with the protector on (this is not a no sell for me, I have never protected the screens on any of my cameras, and have never scratched any of them).I hope this review really helps someone that was doing research like I was.

love my new camera
Been waiting for a camera like this. Great quality photos of my kid running around playing. Not saying every single pic comes out perfect because when kids are running around playing sometimes they are bound to come out a little blurry but that happened a lot with my olympus too and paid over 500 dollars for that one so to find this one at such a reasonable price was very happy plus this one has more zoom than my other one did. And shipment was very fast! Thankyou amazon!:)

Not a bad camera for beginers but that is it.
Update: I just returned this camera because I hate it so much, by the time I zoom in and try to focus I lost the opportunity for a good photo. The zoom really sucks and is very rough and not a smooth auto focus. I just spent a few minutes trying to shoot some photos for ebay and this camera would just not focus properly. May I say again, I hate this camera, for a beginner it might be ok but for me it is a hunk of lens heavy plastic junk not worth $20. Because it is not balanced properly taking a great shot consistently just wont happen unless you tripod it.I went back to using my old 10 year old sony because this camera is so bad.If you have an older sony cyber shot and are looking to replace it with another sony then forget about it, sony does not care judging by this model. Go with a camera made from an actual camera maker and not jack of all junk Sony.

Great buy!!!
I love this camera, buy this before you go to best buy or any other box store. It's a great deal because of all the accessories if you go anywhere to get a camera, you're going to have to buy some of these things anyway.. the camera alone is worth 210.00 so really you're getting all these products for free. Takes great photos and is very comfortable to hold. Below are just some of the pictures i took with this camera...also it came on time witch was awesome.

Good buy for the price.
Works as specified. The photo quality is good. The zoom is 35x for whoever else is confused by the description. And the "tripod" is about 4 inches tall, not a real photography tripod. But for everything it came with, it's an awesome deal. First camera purchase and I'm really happy. Don't forget the 20MP sensor, it's nice to have some room to do some photoshop
