Pros: Versatility of use

Cons: Un-ready files with strong greenish dominant

Opinion: I took it on the Amazon. What to say: very useful and very small that, for those who take pictures in the street like me, is the best you can ask for. It is clear that you can not access all the controls with speed and without running the risk of resetting something, given the size, but the rear ring can conveniently allow access to all the main controls. The compensation of the exposure is very convenient. So many functions (I can think of the electronic horizon) for this small that not last quality, produces excellent RAW unfortunately with a balance of questionable white. Files under certain light conditions suffer from a strange white balance

Pros: Small, well-built, nice sensor, good battery

Cons: White balancing a bit weird,no Wi-Fi

Opinion: I have this machine for about 8 years and I have used it a bit everywhere, the size is really small, the file quality is great , honestly I still consider it a nice compact and very portable given the size ,being that it came out almost 10 years ago in my opinion you still behaves very well despite not having some functions that have more modern compacts , I never got to try the later models to make a comparison as I consider them exaggeratedly too expensive

Pros: Sensor

Cons: non-automatic iso in manual

Opinion: Excellent machine the only flaw is the automatic iso in manual is the only model of sony not to have it. Nightphoto I recommend to do them only with the three pede.battery you manage to make almost a 400 500 shots quini excellent durability.I highly recommend the purchase of this machine , also because being produced in 2012 , you can find even at low price

Pros: hardware masterpiece...

Cons: ... partially ruined by absurd software choices

Opinion: I've owned this camera for four years now, and the more I use it, the more it angers me at Sony's commitment to making it uncomfortable to use. The sensor for a compact really pocket-sized is big, the yield in general excellent, the lens in good handyman (some focal/diaphragm combinations are not much and the canvas side is not very bright, but for 300 euros...). The usable flash of bounce is an incredible plus in the interior, iso side of get more than dignified photos up to iso1600... besides they will not end art, but if there is something to photograph at all costs the photo will still be available :) The flaws... the ISO car is there, but you can't use it in manual (but why? why is it called manual?) you can't set a minimum shooting speed in semi/full car modes, with the result that the camera prioritizing diaphragms in order to keep the isoes low will start with ridiculously long times, unmanageable freehand even with stabilization. Fortunately the crop factor is so high (2.7x) that in S times priority mode you almost never run the risk of having subjects or portions of the same not covered by the pdc. The bracketing in the room exists but it is ridiculous (maximum scissors -0.7 -0.7EV, in practice better to do it calmly in manual). The af is anything but lightning, but still, given the age of the camera you can't complain... I certainly don't use it in busy situations (or at least I can't use it). Almost all flaws can be safely fixed with a firmware update... but better of course to force you to buy a mk3 for the ISO car in manual, or a mk4 for the minimum shooting time. Too bad, also because the yield of the subsequent versions, photo side, does not seem to me exponentially greater as happens instead at the price.

Pros: In a sentence: excellent quality, yield, construction and discretion, enclosed in something a little bigger than a packet of cigarettes and weighing zero in the pocket of a jacket. This makes the various faults forgiconable (see below).

Cons: Chromatic rendition often bizarre and disappointing, unless you fiddle enough on the Raw. Grip and sometimes uncomfortable operations, maybe it's too small. Several Raw, even at low ISO, do not respond in an excellent way to post processed (and generate a flood of noise in the B/N tonings in post). In Tele is slow, contrary to the excellent wide. High ISO is not particularly recommendable: better stop at 3200 (in some cases acceptable photos to 4000, from Raw). Disagreeable menu, typically Sony. Little Flash performance (but heck, it's so small, you can stay there). Battery not Excellsa, at least in my specimen. Nowadays its use is largely made avoidable by high-ranking mobiles (this does not apply to subsequent marks).

Opinion: Bought on a whim at the end of 2012, I used and abused and, even today, occasionally (which I lent/donated) the use, although the phones give me just a little lower performance. The image quality is typically Reflex-like, sharpness and resolve to detail are optimal. Traveling so light with her in your pocket is a priceless joy! But, in at least half of the shots, the colors are ugly, or at the very least, do not convince me. The WB is strange, cold-bluish and with a yield hardly optimal even in the hottest settings. Even from Raw (I don't use JPG from this machine) it's not easy to get them out as you want. These Raw also do not always respond well to post processed (however without overprocessing). Even at low Iso can pop out noise and artifacts, as well as bankruptcy of the highs (a little ' better shadows). The tonings in BN, more than noise, generate a real clatter. But not a big deal, then many BN I make them noisy and "movies like" specially. It is not a sensor at the same levels as an average APS/DX of an hour, beyond certain uses. You have to stay. High Iso should be used very carefully. 800/1600 are fine, going beyond is serious the risk of having to trashing the shot. Some 3200 is fine, rarely some 4000 (unless there are too many fine textures). The Tele is slow and "Buietto", contrary to Wide, fast and bright. The metal construction is excellent, but sometimes the grip is slimy and is a bit awkward. The menu is annoying, Sony style. The little flash does what it can but it is mediocre and from even more ugly colors. The various successive marks of this model should have improved many things, even if the price has splashed to levels frankly exorbitant (this here I paid 395 euros).
