Not worth the risk
by Greyalexis on June 4, 2011
Pros: it was a great camera, all the right functions, great pictures with a small learning curve.
Cons: the lens is very fragile. several people say the same the lens comes loose very easy. Costs too much to repair.
Summary: Sony did not make these cameras to last and it is not durable. This is not the camera to buy if you want it to last.
