Sony didn't cut any corners with this camera2008-08-19
I bought a Sony a300 dSLR a few months ago, but decided it wasn't logical to carry around a $1000 camera to parties, so I went searching for a good point and shoot that took quality pictures for around $200. I stumbled onto this camera at a National Camera Exchange tent sale and immediately fell in love with it.
Pros:
- 9-point AF is great for a point and shoot
- 3.5" screen is huge and crystal clear: have to see it to believe
- 6 MP is more than enough for 99% of my shots and it doesn't take up so much space on my computer. It also does better in low light conditions because the pixels aren't so packed on the sensor.
- 2 GB internal memory is awesome, and you don't have to buy expensive Sony memory sticks
- Can store and listen to music with an 8 mm headphone jack
- Nice charging dock
- Beautiful menu displays
- Toggle switch is the best way to flip through menus
- Lens is hidden when closed so it isn't easily scratched

Cons:
- Buttons are a little tough to learn
- Little big for most small camera cases

Would recommend it for anyone. Just a fun camera to own.
Love it!2008-05-23
i love this camera, very easy to use, although the buttons took a little getting used to, takes great pics and videos. i highly reccomend this camera to anybody, it also would probably be a good beginner camera
Great camera with only a few cons, and a ton of pros!2008-04-05
Had this camera for 1 month, LOVE IT!

Pros:

- HUGE SCREEN!! Talk about being the center of attention when you whip this camera out. Definitely want to get some sort of a protective slip for it.

- Great picture quality. What do you expect from SONY? Only the best.

- Internal Memory. 2GB - memory stick? No neccessary with this. Internal hard drive rocks.

- Sleek design. Doesn't look cheap, luxurious feel.

- Video recording. Again...just like the pictures, it rocks.

CONS

- Weight. A tad bit on the heavy side, but the HUGE screen makes you forget about it quickly!

- Close/Open slide. Not neccessarily a con, but it just takes a little getting used to.

- Size. Not the biggest of cameras but definitely not the slimmist. Again, not a huge downside considering the huge screen but short time you get used to it!

For more info, I would suggest going to [...] and seeing the video on this product! You won't be dissapointed with the camera
Great camera!2007-06-28
I've used Amazon to order various items before and was always satisfied with the result...quality at low prices.
I ordered a Sony Dsc G1 on Sunday June 24th and it arrived Thursday, June 28th.
I've taken about 50 photos under critical conditions, low light and using the automatic features of the camera.
I'm amazed at how well it performs. Big LCD screen, the camera is a nice size for my big hands, just a little bigger then the regular Cybershots. The resolution in the screen is excellent.
I was considering the DSC T-100 but it got such bad ratings that I went with this camera....sure glad I did!
When I figure out some of the more technical features I'll post a more detailed review.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
