Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W570 16.1 MP Digital Still Camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 2.7-inch LCD (Silver) (OLD MODEL)

I bought a Samsung EC-SH100 Wi-Fi Digital Camera with 14.2 MP, 5x Optical Zoom and Touchscreen (Red) earlier this summer and spent the whole summer trying to figure out how to work it. I never figured it out, and it took crappy shots, so finally, I knew I had to throw in the towel and after much much deliberation and reading the reviews on Amazon (and also, people, when reading reviews, if they are totally glowing or totally hating, I check to see how many other reviews they've written, if it's the only review - I know they are probably planted). Anyway, this was on sale for 99.00 when I bought it and I see it's gone up in price again, but I'd have to say, TOTALLY WORTH IT. I was able to start using this out of the box. The menu is easy to understand and navigate (unlike the Samsung - ARGHH!) and the pictures are CLEAR and even in low light without the flash, they come out great. Also - there's a great feature where in lowlight, it will take 2 pictures (if you choose this option) - one with a flash and one without and you can choose which is the best - LOVE IT. I take a ton of food pictures (yes, I 'm one of THOSE people) and it even has a setting for food pictures! I haven't had one blurry picture yet (I always did with the Samsung). I haven't tried the video recorder because I didn't buy it with intention of using it - so I really can't comment on that. I love that the on/off button is very tiny and flush with the camera - that way it won't accidentally turn on when you throw it in your bag and then when you want to take a picture -- you discover the battery is dead (another problem with my other camera). So yes, I love it. So glad I bought it - easy to understand and navigate the menu and takes great pictures. Would highly highly recommend!

We bought this as a primary camera for our once in a lifetime trip to the Bahamas. It seemed to be doing just fine recording and capturing pictures the first three days, but then all of a sudden, it didn't recognize the files on the memory stick! I pulled the memory stick and re-inserted it and was able to view the shots. This happened three times throughout the 10 day trip. When we got home, I was completely unable to upload the pictures and videos! I tried two different computers to no avail!! This is the second Cyber-Shot camera for us and we never had a problem with the 8.1 MP. I wish I could give it a no star rating!! Very disappointing camera!

Good little camera for the price. Nothing like the high quality ones or anything, but good for what it is Pros: great size, lightweight, cool colors, easy to figure out, easy to charge battery and get pics off card, battery lasts fine. Cons: not the greatest at focusing close up, not the highest quality, but good enough for sure. Just to put my thoughts in perspective, I had a $900 camcorder stolen that took the best photographs amoung other things. I had to get a camera to make due until the insurance claims came through, etc. I really like the size of this, because I always have it on hand (in my purse). It also has a Carl Zeiss lense like my previous camcorder, and I LOVE the color. It works well enough that I have not replaced my camcorder yet, although there is no comparison between the two. This one does have its advantages though (size).

I got the box and I was excited that it showed up as fast as it did. As soon as I opened it, I thought, wow this thing is little! I couldnt wait to get the battery in and take some shots! INCREDIBLE! This thing has a mind of its own! Its for idiots like me that are not shutter bugs! I turned it on and pointed the camera all over the room, different lighting, darker to light to see how well it would change or if I needed to make adjustments. The camera thinks on its own, changing the settings and fast fast focus! One handed use, while in motion, quick shots with no mistakes! This is one of the best cameras I bought! Its so small, it gets lost in my pocket and I love that, no one can tell I'm holding this little monster picture taker in my pocket! Pictures are perfect every time, no over exposure, very clear shots! What really blew my socks off was the sweap panoramic shot! You cant go wrong with it, move with it and it does the rest and get this, its just one swoop across! Not regestier marks to line up so it would piece together, just one sweep across the area! I love it, glad I bought it!

I absolutely adore this camera. I had a Sony Cybershot for a long time with a touch screen that I loved, but it broke and I was so sad to have to get a new one. But I was very pleased with my new little replacement. 16.1 mp in a point-and-shoot? Yes, please! Plus a 5x optical zoom in a camera so small is great. The Macro is awesome, and it automatically switches to that when you are close enough to whatever you are shooting. It has a setting that automatically takes pictures when it detects smiles, which kinda weirds me out, but you can totally turn that off. And it has a pink display setting which makes me happy because my other camera was pink and I was a little sad that I couldn't get one that same color. I have the black one, and it is shimmery/glittery which I also love so it's all good. Another feature that is really cool is the panorama setting. You just hit the shutter button, and move the camera to the right and it takes multiple frames and makes one long picture. So cool! It is really small, and I am afraid sometimes that I will drop it, so I make sure to put the wrist band on every time I use it. It is very light weight and fits into my purse perfectly so I can take it with me everywhere!! I love it!!

This is a terrible camera. I have had nothing but Sony cameras in the past and they have all been great. But this one is terrible. I am an Insurance Adjuster and I take a majority of my pictures outside. This thing will darken a picture on a sunshine day to the point where you cant see anything but black, and then Ill take a picture of something in daylight and it makes it a big bright white spot. There is no happy medium. I just need to be able to point and shoot and get a decent result and this camera does not achieve that. I tried changing all sorts of setting and it keeps doing it. I called Sony and they couldn't give me any answers or suggestions. If I wouldn't have been stuck out of town and busy just after I received this piece of crap, I would have shipped it back. It is a horrible camera in my opinion.

the quality on the camera wasnt good so the pictures did when taken didnt come out well. It is pocket size so that was helpful out at events.

I always trusted SONY products to perform really great and this USED Sony digital camera didn't fail my trust. It works like new and the picture and video quality is brilliant and fantastic. It even comes with Panoramic feature. Also, it is very simple to use for a point and shoot camera. It has three different mode button - PICTURE, VIDEO and PANORAMA. For a used camera, this is working like new. I still have and use the old Sony digital camera that I bought back in 2004. The best part about this camera is that it comes with a charger that you can drop the camera battery on to and simply plug it in. There are no charger cable to deal with like other cameras. The only thing I didn't like is that the seller didn't tell me that there was a ding on the camera as if it was dropped. However, I love this camera. I know this camera is going to be used and working for the next 8 to 10 years without a doubt. :) As far as the package goes, it was not what I expected. There was hardly any packing materials but a single air pillow not enough to stop the camera moving around.
