DSC-W710 16 MP Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver) (OLD MODEL)

I had this model Sony previously and it went with me to Australia, France and Tuscany. It faithfully recorded some of my best journeys and the photos from those trips are some of my most cherished memories. Sadly, it stop functioning after about 6 years and I replaced it with a more advanced model. But that uprated camera (also a Sony) was far more complex and failed after less than a year. So I went back to the original model and am very happy with my decision. This is a good basic camera. It fits easily in any pocket. It is light weight and easy to use. It takes great photos. It can take panorama shots and make videos. It is not the fanciest camera on the market. It is not designed to take photos of landscapes from miles away. What it does is work consistently well for 98% of all my photo needs. It helps me record my passage through life without getting in the way or requiring college level courses to understand. I think it is the best value of all the point and shoot cameras available on Amazon. I recommend it for anyone who doesn't know what an f-stop is and doesn't care to know!

Takes very clear, crisp photos. Has an option to be set-up with lots of settings (similar to most digitals out there), or to be set-up as an Easy-use- for the people in your life who do better with less options. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my partner. But after helping her set it up, and seeing the result of the images that came from it, I fully intend on buying one of these for myself (since I happen to be in the market for a new digital camera)! Oh- and she only took a very small clip of a video- but the clarity and crispness of that was quite impressive as well! This camera is sleek, slim and well-priced for the great quality. I very much recommend it. It was also delivered well before its estimated arrival date- which is always a bonus!

This is a good and affordable point and shoot camera. The zoom on it will force you to use your feet. You will have to zoom with your feet. It is a very light weight camera. Once I was able to get close enough to my subject, I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the image. I don't like the camera on my cell phone so I use this camera more than my phone. Be careful not to drop it while you're shooting. The lens is very fragile. It would be wise to buy the warranty! I dropped it after a week of use. The warranty allowed me to ship the broken one in for a newer one.

This is my first new camera in maybe 6 or 7 yrs. I love how fast it powers on, returns to being ready after taking a shot and the power saving feature. The battery charge also lasts a while. The one thing I do not like is how easily the memory card/battery over opens. It is not spring loaded like my other camera, so it comes open quite often. Taking panoramic shots is a no brainier and the results are great. The menu for me can be a bit confusing, but I guess the settings are useful once you take he time to see what each one does. The camera is a bit light for my taste, but I'm getting used to the weight. The physical zoom is not as precise as I would like meaning that the zoom moves too fast, so it's a challenge to zoom to exactly where you need. Overall it is a nice camera, but I would like to try another Nikon with comparable or better features and price.

Excelente

I'll start off that I have had many point and shoot cameras in my time (3+) but always tend to drop them on vacation etc., one of the many reasons I don't bring my professional DLSR's on vacation, unless I'm shooting specifically for professional reasons. This little camera was bought with the intention to bring on our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. I wanted to ensure I didn't have to bring my phone everywhere (because it's tempting to work when you have it by you!) and so I only wanted a point-and-shoot. PROS: - Small/lightweight - Takes SD card - Price (cheap... and you get what you pay for) - ........ CONS - Picture quality is NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD AT ALL. Expanding on the above bullet point, the images were not all that sharp, even when outside in well lit areas. The images were also not very high resolution in terms of pixel smoothness. I was standing on the beach and my husband took a picture of me; it was grainy and no good. Also, the flash is not of high quality. I comprehend that objects moving at night may produce blurriness (or intentional panning), but my husband and I stood still and had someone take a picture and again, it wasn't clear. Ultimately my husband said 'next time we should just use our phones'... OUCH that is a testament as to how poor this camera functions. Luckily, we won't be blowing up any photos to 8x10s, but I don't even think I can get a 5x7 to print out of these photos. It's a bummer and I wouldn't recommend the camera to any friends/family

I was using someone else's expensive camera and it was so difficult to use, I couldn't even figure out how to turn off the flash. This camera, is so easy to use, the menu's do not even need the owners manual. I had it figured out within minutes after turning it on. A very good camera for the price!!!! The only important thing is that the camera will only work with up to 8GB SD card. I bought a 16GB and the camera would not recognize it. But even so, with a 8GB at highest resolution, I have 1120 pictures available. Very nice.

Great little digital camera. I know that there are better camera's out there, with more functions and features and higher MP and higher zoom. But I just needed a good quality and great priced digital camera. And you can shoot 720 HD video with it too. And the best thing is that I have a Playstation 3, I can download the pics and video to my PS3 and crop and fix the pics and also edit them into a slideshow, a slideshow that you can add music to. And I can also edit the video I take with it. I'm going to use this Sony digital camera and my PS3 to shoot and edit a video entry for the MoFilm Playstation Blogger Contest.

good at this rate.buy some else if u want good quality images.the image blurs if flash is not used. video is gud.

well what could one except from a point and shoot camera in this price range... awesome product with astonishing features!!!!!.i am quite surprised to get it in a discounted price and the performance is just phenomenal when compared with other cams in this price range.... and ya i got two words for amazon ' JUST AWESOME' ....awesome service indeed.....overall this cam is worth every penny you spend... so go for it without any second thoughts......cheers!!! Happy Shooting :)
