   You will not find a cooler looking and feeling camera anywhere,
   
   but alas, the following two issues were deal breakers for me
   
   and I opted to return the camera and by a Panasoci Lumic DMC-ZR1
   
   instead.

   Sony issues:
   
   1) NO ZOOM ABILITY in video mode.
   
   2) Very soft photos – inconsistent photo quality.

   I really wanted to love this camera because it is just so cool
   
   looking and solid, but seeing soft blurry blotches on faces
   
   in my photos is just not acceptable.

   And how do they not include a zoom ability on the video mode?
   
   The Panasonic that I bought instead takes care of both issues.
   
   While the low-light photo quality is not terrific on the Panasonic
   
   either, the overall photo quality is better. And now I can zoom
   
   in video mode – and with greater zoom ability, 12X.

   I am very happy with my new camera. I already had a SONY mid-size, which I love, so this one was easy to learn how to use. Very similar. I liked that it uses the same battery and memory stick,so they are interchangeable. Disappointed that the cord is not the same; it is something extra for me to take on trips. I love it for sharp close ups. It even does well for distance shots that I then crop. Of course, the blue color is great. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to be able to slip the camera in his/her pocket and take very clear pictures.The price was fair as well.
