This is comparatively a recent model and offers quite a lot of features like 16 megapixel camera, 10X optical zoom, 3D panorama sweep, inbuilt presets for capturing in different environments and light mode that you would definitely want in a camera.nnI had a tough time choosing between this and Nikon coolpix S6300..I went in for this one and im not disappointed at all. nthe one thing that looked more attractive in sony was the image processing software that this camera comes with. Its way faster and gives excellent results. I heard somewhr that the software in nikon takes a little bit longer to process and give you the image...bt its not that big a difference if u are using a class 10 SD card.n nAll in all, a very good deal at the offered price :)

First of all the delivery aspect of Flipkart: It is awesome as usual.nnHowever, the camera is short of expectations.nnPic quality is excellent but it has some shortcomings for point and shoot camera for sure:nn1. Too much lag in focus. If u don't have patience u will feel it.n2. Too small and closely placed buttonsn3. If you want to see the pics , processing time is an irritant at times.nnAt this price, there are better options no doubt. I am not very happy using it but stuck with it for sometime now.

Extremely Awsome Camera!! Brought it last week... Really impressed with the zoom.. Clarity is alwez good when it comes to any cybershot.. Night scapes are very good.. And the macro mode for close pics is the best feature of this camera!!! No other company camera can give give u the quality this camera delivers... dont think too much... just BUT IT!!!!
