1 out of 5 stars Stay away from this camera!   November 18, 2008
I bought two of these cameras for gifts Christmas 2007. Unfortunately, I lost my own camera and decided to use one of these as an emergency replacement. When I opened the box the first camera was dead on arrival. Well, not exactly DOA. It constantly powered up only to shut down immediately. I tried replacing batteries to no avail. Sent it back to Sony for warranty repair. Then I decided, I had better open the second to see if it functioned correctly. It did. But unfortunately only for a few months. Now, it has the same problem. Evidently, it has to do with the the lens not retracting. I have to physically force the lens closed in order to power up the camera; in addition the flash never works.

I'm not sure if they're still selling this model, but if they are, you would be wise to stay away. I thought I got a great deal because of the Sony name and Black Friday price, but it was a total waste of money. Buy a Canon instead!



4 out of 5 stars For what it is   July 22, 2008
Simple and easy to use. Decent exposure. Zoom quality is poor but expected at this price point. You will need to buy a card to store your photos as the internal 16MB memory won't get you very far. This is no Leica quality camera or lens but it does a very decent job considering the price.


2 out of 5 stars Good for Beginner, Photo Quality Poor   July 21, 2008
Bought one of these at a good price, but the price is not good enough to keep it. Upgrading from an older Kodak C730 3.1MP, I was very disappointed. The picture quality is just simply awful. I took much better quality pictures with my older camera. The turnout is grainy in most situations (every now and then you get lucky with a good one) and the color seems to be very dull. Software enhancement didn't help much either. I tried playing with all the settings, but it didn't seem to help. Besides, I never had to adjust anything on the Kodak, Auto seemed to work just fine. I think this is a camera that somebody who has never owned a digital camera would enjoy, or maybe someone who is upgrading from one of those cheap off brand cameras you see in stores for under $50. But if you've ever used a decent quality digital camera, look elsewhere. I was very surprised that Sony would let a product with such low quality out into the market. Learned something new. This is my first Sony still camera, and probably will be my last. I was willing to live without the view finder because the style of the camera made it easy to use without one. It's a very attractive camera, small and sleek. Too bad it doesn't operate as well as it looks. Think I'm gonna look at a Canon PowerShot A590IS next, I've heard good things about them. Besides, I have a lot of SD cards laying around, didn't feel like spending the extra money on a proprietary memory card that Sony is cashing in on (MemoryStick).


1 out of 5 stars Sony Cybershot S650 7.2MP Digital Camera Does Not Work   July 1, 2008
I purchased this camera for a friend. The camera turns on and shuts off right away. He's tried several sets of batteries to no avail.
I will be calling Sony on his behalf given that he's overseas and can't do it.

I am dissapointed that it does not work which may point to the Quality Assurance efforts at Sony.

I am hopeful it can be resolved easily and a replacement is not required.

Thanks.
Angelo

Simple to use but there is no memory stick and the internal memory only allows for 15 pictures.
