A couple years ago I bought their 4MP cybershot and have regretted it since. It has focus problems and lighting problems. Many times it does not know what to focus on and the shot is ruined. This happens too often--not just now and then. It happens at close and long range from the subject. I've taken photos for decades with canon and nikon slr's and have never had this problem. The camera was sent to Sony twice and both times they said it met specs. It worries me when a camera that meets specs does not perform in real life. Sony would not do anything to help me so I ended up wasting about $800, including accessories. My next camera will be one made by a real camera company like canon or nikon. I've had no experience with Kodak digitals but would be leery since we tend to get what we pay for--except in my case with the Sony.
