I dropped it once, from about 2.5 feet, and it never worked again. I used this camera for almost a year and I liked it very much considering the price. My one big complaint, however, is poor construction. To have it fixed by Sony costs almost as much as a brand new camera. So, in short, it is a decent camera, but it is not sturdy and is definitely "throw-away" if it's damaged at all.
Sorry. Even better. Then, miraculously, I learned that the issue my camera was experiencing was covered by Canon - for free - even though it was long out of warranty. could I do without a viewfinder.
I noticed the problems others have commented on regarding flash-outs, white, colors, etc., and after playing with the camera I can say that these problems can be overcome - you just have to know your camera better.So. In fact, there may be times I'll reach for this instead of "old faithful" (which has been returned to me in perfect condition.). The newer models don't have some of the nice features that "old faithful" had, and so I was frustrated. that's a long lead-up to my view on this Sony. when you set a mode, the LCD shows you the selection you have made (nice for those whose eyesight isn't what it used to be).
I found the close-up feature to be more difficult that "old faithful" because it had a shorter range of focus, and was more sensitive to movement (which, in a tiny camera, is always an issue). So, I sent it off, and was told promptly that it was indeed going to be fixed. I had a couple of events that I didn't want to attend without a camera, and so when I spotted this Sony on sale recently, I snapped it up as a "back-up" camera, to use while my other camera was being repaired, and to have for those occasions when I really didn't want a larger camera, or when there was any chance the camera might be at risk (bike riding, for example). you'll learn lots as you use it and review the manual periodically.
Not long ago, my trusty "old faithful" Canon stopped working and I began to shop around for a new camera. And there are some new features that "old faithful" didn't have. stabilization, face recognition, etc. long story short is that I think this is an excellent little camera for a "back-up". The learning curve was very short. It's at a price-point that makes it a great gift for graduates or special birthdays or other celebrations, and it fits in your pocket. Besides, I knew the controls of "old faithful", and didn't want to have to go through the learning curve again.
easily. I got the camera home (with the 2G card I had purchased), and was delighted to see that the controls were very similar to those on the Canon. I love the large LCD screen (good thing, since there is no viewfinder), and although there aren't as many shooting modes as I have had on the Canon, these are certainly sufficient for a casual photo shooter. If you're a first-time digital camera user, this is a good choice.
Just pop out the memory stick and take it with you.The Sony DSC-S750 has been my favorite camera for a year now. With a large screen for viewing your pictures, you will be able to check them immediately to make sure you got the shot you wanted.
The unit is very simple to use, and comes with a rechargeable battery, which is a great thing. If you've ever used a regular battery in a digital camera, you know how fast they go.
The Sony DSC-S750 offers a lot of camera for the money. While the camera is easy to use, it does offer some more in depth features for those folks who want to tweak their photos or just want to play with the advanced settings.
Since the battery is rechargeable, you won't be spending a ton of money on those "Photo" batteries either. This camera offers multiple quick set modes for taking pictures in the most common environments, so you don't need to be a techie to choose the right settings.
The removable memory stick makes getting pictures printed at a local store easier than ever. I don't take a ton of pictures, and I'm not a professional, but the pictures turn out great, and the camera is easy to use.
Looks & performs as new. It has a re-chargeable battery pack that seems to last longer than the re-chargeable AA NIMH's used on the DSC-S650. This is an older model,but still takes great pics. Has features I'll never use,but just point & click & your done. Also it doesn't come falling out when the door is open.2-Gig memory card stores over 10K pics on J-peg for E-mail. Saved $$ by purchasing an open box. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a digital camera except(yawn)a snobby/nerdy Tech geek which could spot flea poop in black pepper. They'll have to spend more $$$ to be satisfied.
great product, im having a lot of fun with this. looks great, works great, takes excellent pictures, who could ask for more with such a low price.
