Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you are a beginner, you may enjoy this camera. Those who have had others will be frustrated with many of the features.
Review: I have several Sony cameras and this is my most recent. I have had this camera for around two years and if I could, I would upgrade. There are many features that I wish could be changed.

My favorite part of this camera is the durability. I...

For Sale...Sony Camera...piece of junk

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: Avoid it, you will be disappointed in its performance. Choose a canon or HP, something besides Sony. Never again.
Review: My mom bought me this model of camera for Christmas last year. Since day one it has taken crappy blurry pictures. I tried to return it to the store she purchased it from, they wouldn't exchange it. Because I can't afford another one (and Sony won't...

Great Pictures - Slow Response - Eats AA Batteries for Breakfast

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: I only recommend this camera if it is being used for portraits/landscapes and such. Not for professional use.
Review: I bought the Sony Cybershot DSC S500 to take with the family to Disney World instead of having to lug around my Canon Digital Rebel. The camera has everything I was looking for at the time, big display, compact size and lightweight, 6 megapixels,...

sony dsc-s500

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2007
Review: The one major complaint I have with this camera is there is no eye lens when taking pictures in sun. It is extremely hard to see the LCD with full sunlight and be able to focus on a subject. Other than that camera is easy to use.

A Quality Entry line product

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: Shop before you buy, but this a camera that does the job of a camera, at a very reasonable price.
Review: I got this camera as a Christmas gift last year, and although initially disappointed of not having received the higher end DSC Wxx Series camera, it turned out to be a great device, specially considering the retail price.

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: The camera works well and is simple to use, however it is not very durable and isn't a very long-term camera
