->Comparison Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

This camera is great, and I agree with everyone else about most of the good things. The one thing that was an utter annoyance was the fact that this camera WILL NOT stamp the date on the pictures. There is no option to turn this feature on; it isn't a feature. It does record the date and time in the data file for the picture, but it will not show up on the picture itself. After I discovered this I looked it up online and all of the camera detail sheets I could find said something like "Time/Date Stamp: N/A" It didn't say "NO", it just said "N/A". The last film camera I owned years ago could stamp the time and date on the picture. This is something that has got to be simple to include, and I can't figure out why they didn't. This is a disappointment that caused me to return the camera, but it really was great for pictures, and such.

My husband bought me this camera for Christmas last year. I tried to convince him NOT to buy me one, because I didn't think a pocket size digital camera could take great photographs like my Nikon 35mm with changable lenses. Boy was I wrong. This camera is AWESOME, the detail, lighting, effects, everything is great. It is so easy to learn and use. I love the touch screen. I fly through it super fast. You can quickly change modes, colors, settings, instantly with the on screen touch display. No bulgy buttons, or anything. And the screen is HUGE!! This camera is hands down awesome. I high recommend it. If you would like to see some examples of the pictures I took with it. let me know...i would be more than happy to share the quality.

I received my camera yesterday. I have tinkered with all of the features, testing out everything. I love the detailed quality of the photos. Its great that it gives a smooth look to the skintone ladies, so no imperfections will be highlighted with the cam, dont worry.
Also, the touchscreen is just great and convenient. Picture quality is great, and its SO compact, it can fit just about anywhere you wanna put it. My 10 yr old likes it, and its so simple to use. Good choice for the amatuer!

Review: The N2 is a winner!
by: Michael Olshansky on date: June 7, 2007

->Sale Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I was looking to replace my 4 megapixel digicam and did a ton of research looking for the ideal replacement. In the end, the CyberShot DSC-N2 is a winner.

This unit is lightning fast, takes great pictures in low light, has a killer movie mode, and a really nice photo album feature.

The detail captured by the 10.1mp CCD is stunning. Anyone that says "you don't need more megapixels unless you're making large prints" is either lying or uneducated when it comes to digital cameras. I took pictures of the same subjects with several lower megapixels cameras and the N2. The differences were literally night and day.

Unlike some older Cybershots, this unit's Auto mode is fantastic, making the right adjustments 99% of the time. This is what a consumer point-and-shoot is supposed to do.

Some may gripe about the lack of a stabilizer, but quite frankly, the N2 doesn't need it. I took tons of pictures in overcast conditions and out of 55 photos, the flash fired 3 times. Most consumer point-and-shoot cams would have fired the flash 40-50 times in the same conditions. Quite simply, this is such a fine camera in low light that the flash wasn't necessary! The pictures all came out fabulous!

The movie mode is very nice on the Fine setting, though it uses ancient MPEG1 technology which eats up space fast and is difficult to convert to modern formats such as MP4 or DiVX. The video converts, but the audio doesn't. I wish Sony would use something a little more modern in that regard.

The battery life is also very good for a camera with a 3" LCD. I got about 80 shots and a dozen movies before the battery called it quits. If you are using it more than this, an extra battery can't hurt.

The 3" touch-screen LCD is fantastic, though it's very difficult to see in direct sunlight. The touch screen interface is pretty easy to use, though it does have some quirks that may confuse less technical folks. The main complaint is that the "Main" menu feels incomplete since I have to jump around to find the exact setting I was looking for.

Flash range is above average for a compact digicam. It should be fine for most people.

As for the unit itself, it's clean, attractive, and simple. It fits in the pocket easily and seems fairly durable, though I recommend some sort of case to protect the touch screen. It seems pretty tough, but I'm not taking any chances.

I chose the N2 after comparing to units from Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, and Canon. Highly recommended!

Review: Great Photos, BUT --
by: M. Vickerman on date: June 7, 2007

->Deals Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I buy lots of Sony products and in particular Sony Cameras. Ironically, the one I had about four years ago with 3.3. MP seems to have taken the best pictures of all, which I attribute to the telescopic (as opposed to internal) zoom lens. Comparing several cameras, it just seems this particular feature results in sharper, more dynamic photos. I was pleased to find the DSC-N2 went back to a telescopic lens in a compact style. The photos are fantastic and the camera is easy to use (once you get used to touch screen for everything). So I give the camera itself high marks. The reason for giving it a 1 star is this: The camera died after three months. It was working fine, I was in the middle of taking a shot when suddenly the camera froze. That was it. I buy enough electronics to know this happens from time to time and shouldn't be an overall deterrent. There's always a chance of a bad one in the bunch. However, the treatment from Sony was so appalling that I felt the need to offer this warning to others. I called Sony, they agreed it was still under warranty and asked that I mail it to the repair center. I get a call from them a week later telling me the camera suffered from internal corrosion caused by water moisture and is therefore not covered by the warranty (their policy is that the warranty does not cover any external or internal damage. Go figure). They told me it looked as if the camera had been submerged in water. I explained that didn't happen, but they would only go on what their technician told them. Evidentially a simple humid environment can cause internal corrosion. I was near the ocean. Go figure. The cost to repair the camera was $586. They're only other solution was for me to purchase a brand new one from them at a cost of $250. Obviously others are having good luck with their N2, but if this camera is so susceptible to humidity, one might consider an extended accidental warranty with the purchase.

->For Sale Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I have been using this camera for 6 months. The screen size is great but the logic of navigation behind the touch screen is too complex: there are too many menus to select before getting the option you are looking for (for example, the delete function). The stylus pen is the first thing you lose and there is no standard USB connector on this camera : you have to use the cable provided with the camera which is cumbersome and you have to keep it with you when you go to see friends and want to show/copy your photos on their computer (unless they have a card reader compatible with the mini memory stick). When you zoom in a photo, there is too much "noise" in the photos, which is strange for a 10 megapixel camera. Before having this model, I've used a Sony Cybershot 7.2 megapixel which was far more intuitive to use and the photos taken offered a better quality.

I purchased this product because my last digital camera had the Zeis lens and took great pictures.

I am THRILLED with this camera. It takes such crisp, clean and clear pictures. The screen is huge and is so easy to zoom in/out and side to side. There are so many cool features on the camera itself with no need to download to a computer to make changes. The battery life seems to last a long time. You also have the capability to save pictures to the camera itself without a memory stick. I think it only saved 5 pictures but it was nice to test.

I was disappointed that the memory stick I had in my previous Sony camera was not compatible with this camera. I bought a 2 meg pro card and it holds tons of pictures. The battery needs to be charged outside of the camera and not directly while in the camera.

The camera isn't cheap but it is well worth every penny for a picture freak like me.

I was very happy with the previous model DSC-N1, which took very nice pictures just with pointing and shooting. But this one, while I only had chance to use it indoors and outdoor in raining weather, it really disappointed me. The pictures are always blured due to too much exposure, I used auto flash, for which the camera should takes nice pictures as it is a point and shoot camera and it is 10.1MP!

I'm going to try more when the weather gets better but most possible I will return it, I just can't accept the quality of the indoor pictures it takes. I doubt I was unlucky and got a bad one, I can't believe a 10.1MP sony camera takes so poor pictures. And after reading the previous review about the terrible Sony custmer servce, I decide I will avoid Sony customer service, and the camera will just be returned.

Note: Found the review by Cecelia Choy "cece" on March 13, 2007 mentioned the same problem I had. I didn't have this problem with my previous model DSC-N1.

April 17, 2006: I bought a new one and it takes nice pictures now! Suggestion for those having the same problem I had before -- exchange for another one!!

This camera is way better than my old 5MP camera. For its size, its very stylish and sleek. The 3inch size LCD makes it very appealing. It has alot of feautures. You can actually vary the picture quality from a 5MP to 10MP, which is great if youre planning to take alot of pictures. Picture quality of night shots are clear, no more dim, blurry shots like my old camera. Sony video quality is very good, very clear and sharp. The features of this camera far outweighs its cons thats why i am gave it a four.

Here's the downsides. Its not cheap. Not many color preference. At certain angles and lighting the camera can appear silver to pink metallic. Extra pair of batteries can cost about $40. Only Uses Memory stick Duo card. Since its a touch screen expect it to get dirty so I suggest you get a screen cleaning kit.

This camera is all-around amazing. The touch screen feature adds to the simplicity of handling the camera, so, it is very easy to use. The internal memory does not hold too much, but what can you expect with a 10.1 mp resolution? Either a 2GB or 4GB memory stick will fit this camera perfectly.

The pictures and video are clear, and the video is in MPEG format, for Windows or Windows Media player, which is terrific (My Nikon camera has Quicktime video, which I find inconvenient when making video cd's, dvd's).

The flash and shooting modes are good and the ISO is also good, although you can see some noise in the images when there is low light. The price is just right for what the camera offers. I am very satisfied with this purchase! Recommended product, for sure.

->Sale Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

This is a reasonably nice camera functioning largely as one would expect but I had a couple of complaints.

The zoom does not work while taking video. Some other Sony cameras (and competitors) allow you to zoom while taking video. I was disappointed that this didn't work on a new model.

The touch-screen was mostly fine but I had one major complaint. When reviewing pictures one at a time, there were two big huge 'next' and 'previous' arrow buttons on the lower portion of the screen (with a 'play' button in the middle if it was a video). These buttons obscured a noticable portion of each image on the touch-screen. There should be a mode where the buttons are invisible--touch on the right half of the screen to goto the next picture, left half to go back. This was not the case, however, and the large buttons seriously reduced the satisfaction of the otherwise nice screen. You could toggle the touch screen on and off but this gets very annoying when scanning through several pictures--(on, next, off, on, next, off, etc.) It would have been so simple to make it smarter and look better but they failed to do it.

->Wholesale Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Sony has been the very camera many have recommended to avoid. When I opened my Christmas gift, I was sadden to read the name SONY on the box.

First, I charged the battery and then slid in the 2 GIG memory stick. Without reading a single page of instructions, I was SHOCKED to discover how easy the camera operated. TOUCH SCREENS seem complictaed, but this was a joy to use. I will never go back to a button operated hand held camera again.

Second, with the combination of a quality optical lens and an incridible 10.1 MP photo, I was shocked at the quality of the images. Never have I seen so many options so easily adjusted as this camera offers.

Lastly, friends have invested twice as much to purchase large SLR style digital cameras and their photos have been half the quality. This camera has been well designed for the novice user, but with the specialized adjustments allows the mature user to optimize their photography skills to excel at near professional quality for a fraction of the cost.

BOTTOM LINE: This camera is a winner. Cost is excellent. Image adjustments offer excellent images. SONY has SHOCKED me with such quality.

->Purchase Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

We purchased this to replace the Canon PowerShot S40 Elph we had. For some reason we decided to try a Sony. Bad idea.

The camera came and upon first inspection we were happy. I took a few pictures with it. I wasn't blown away but they were okay. I admit I was a little bummed because they were not as nice as the Canon pictures but they were good enough. So I would have been happy. I had to add that red eye was a bit of a problem...but that can be edited out.

Then the battery needed to be charged. Now this was really not impressive because it didn't take much for the battery to need charging. Of course I'm comparing this with my Canon that I rarely charged. But again I thought I could deal with this.

So I charge the battery. I put it in the camera all ready to take pictures and the battery isn't charged. I put the battery in the charger, light goes on, stays on and then goes off. The battery won't charge. Grrrr..

I contact Sony. I am instructed that I should ship my camera and charger (at my cost) to Sony and in a few weeks they will send it back. So I'm to pay to send my brand new, yet broken camera, back to Sony and be without it for weeks. Not okay. My husband calls. He tells them he believes it must just be the charger, and the hubby is a techie type, and he would like them to send a new charger. My husband offered to give his credit card number to cover the cost of the charger and suggested that when the broken charger came back they could then credit him the amount. Everyone wins in this case. Well after over an hour on the phone, most of it spent on hold and the rest of the time with rude employees, my husband hung up and had not resolved the issue.

So what happened? The camera went back in the box and was returned.

We have since purchased a Canon PowerShot SD900 Digital Elph. I have not used it yet but I am very excited. The bottom line is Cannon cameras have a wonderful reputation and this camera had more to offer with little price difference. We feel this was probably a blessing in disguise that we didn't keep the Sony because there is talk of financial problems at Sony and some speculate that they may end up out of business.

I do not recommend this camera. After dealing with Sony's customer service (or lack of service) I would highly recommend finding another company to deal with when purchasing a camera.

I purchased this camera to replace an older Sony DSC-S75 digital camera. That camera had performed well for many years, and indeed still works the same as when it was new. We wanted something a little smaller and with higher resolution. Turn on time was also a problem- often by the time I had the camera powered up and ready to shoot the moment had passed!

I looked around a LOT and was ready to purchase a Canon, but then a visitor from China showed me his Sony DSC-T50 (which had just been released in the US at the time) and I was convinced it was the way to go. While I was reading up on the T50 I found a lot of references to the N2. From what I could tell, the N2 had the same great touchscreen plus a few more advanced features and a higher resolution. The lower price was icing on the cake.

This is a "family" camera- nearly all our pictures are of our kids. The great thing about this camera is the large screen and the ability to easily and clearly show off your pictures to the rest of the family without having to gather around a computer.

I think the touch screen is great. I like not having a camera full of more buttons than I'll ever figure out how to use. For someone that wants full manual control over all the shots I suspect an SLR type camera is the way to go. For someone who will be taking 95% of their shots in the default "auto" mode, I think this is the way to go.

I've taken some shots at night with mixed results. I took some pictures of a house during Halloween which was decorated with orange string lights. Holding the camera by hand produced one clear image out of three. I've found the best thing to do is set the camera down and use the 2 second timer to take pictures in extremely low light conditions. In dim light (not twilight) it does better, and in normal cloudy to daylight conditions pictures are great.

Overall I'm most pleased with the small size of the camera and the large touchscreen. The turn-on time is fast too. I've taken some movies of the kids playing and dancing and they turned out excellent. I purchased a gigabyte of memory for the camera, particularly for use with the movie mode. Battery life is good too, even with such a large screen.

I'd recommend this camera to anyone wishing to catch a growing family on "film".

Review: Great Compact Digital!!

->Compare Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I choose this camera because of its small size, 10 megapixels, large bright screen and previous good luck with Sony. I also bought the 4 gig card as I wanted capacity for a lot of high resolution pics.

The touch screen is GREAT!! You can figure out most of the features of the camera right away just using the touch menu.

I hooked the camera up to my PC without additional software and it worked instantly with windows. The picture quality, resolution and color are nothing short of AMAZING on a pc monitor, Photo quality in ten megapixels is incredible....

I have had several other Nikon & Sony digital camera's but nothing like the picture quality of this one in 10.1 mode.

The camera actually lets you build photo slide shows with built in special effects and music (downloaded or already on the camera).

Ease of use, picture quality, large bright screen, small size and touch menu system make this a true "Best in Class".

Cant go wrong with this one.



Review: The BEST Camera Ever!

->Price Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I waited for this camera and brought it the week it was released. I am in love with this camera. As others wrote, there is still much to be discovered as I continue to learn and read the manual, but I took pictures immediately. It is easier to use and quicker to change settings during picture taking events. The low light photos are great, as are action shots. The large viewing screen is wonderful. I looked at the 10 megapixel SLR cameras, but to have that capability in such a small format fit my needs so much better. My pictures are clear and close and great for croping and enlarging. Thanks Sony!

I purchased this camera mainly for the one feature the others don't offer which is the High Sensitivity function (ISO 1600), it is fantastic, I am taking pictures in thick fog at night and they are amazingly clear and sharp,no flash needed at all , sunsets come out beautiful.

As far as I know this is the only compact point and shoot to have this feature, which only came in the bigger Digital SLRs.Also the writing on the screen feature is fun, and the touchscreen navigation is easy and quick to do.

One thing I haven't done yet is to figure out how to see the screen in bright sunlight, anyone have any suggestions?

Review: This was a good choice for me!

->Affordable Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I JUST received this camera yesterday, and have had very little time to play with it.

However, since there were no reviews here, I decided to share my first impressions to help others.

I choose this camera because of its small size, 10 megapixels, and large viewing screen.

The battery came partially charged. I also had ordered a 4-gig card to go in the camera, so I was ready to go.

The camera turns on almost instantly. It turns off just as quickly.

I was able to figure out most of the basic features of the camera right away. It is all pretty intuitive, and the large, sharp touch screen works well.

I took pictures indoors and out. I tried the flash and the optical zoom and they worked fine.

I was easily able to take movies with it. They are in the mpeg format that the PC windows media player handles. It seems that in high quality 640 my 4-gig card can hold one hour of movie, and in the lower 640 quality it can hold three hours. I base that on the countdown indicator that shows up on the screen when in movie mode.

There is an attachment that hooks the camera up to a TV and the pictures and movies play FROM THE CAMERA in great definition on the TV. The movie sound when played on the camera is a little tinny because of the small speaker, but when played from the camera on the TV, the sound on the TV speaker was loud and clear!

I hooked the camera up to my computer without using the additional software, and was able to copy pictures and videos from the camera to the PC and back to the camera. The resolution was perfect and everything worked well.

The quality of the photos in ten megapixels is super, as is the quality of high quality movies.. the lower quality movie isn't that bad, but it is noticeable.

That is all I have done so far. I am VERY pleased with the camera, and my fiancée thinks my choice was brilliant.

I will come back with more as I play with it.

((I have had the camera for several months now. It is really a great camera. The pictures are perfect almost everytime. The touch screen controls are easy to understand and use, and I carry the camera with me everywhere I go. I have a 30 inch apple monitor and the pictures look PERFECT in high resolution as my wallpaper. I even took a picture of an accident with it that the local paper used for the article! So far, I am very pleased.))

This is a great camera, especially if you like a simple point and shoot which you can carry anywhere. I think the image quality is great and the optical zoom works really well; as does the digital zoom, even though it is really unnecessary to use a digital zoom since you can achieve the same closeness by using the magnifying tool on your computer.

->Lowest Price Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

This camera is great, and I agree with everyone else about most of the good things. The one thing that was an utter annoyance was the fact that this camera WILL NOT stamp the date on the pictures. There is no option to turn this feature on; it isn't a feature. It does record the date and time in the data file for the picture, but it will not show up on the picture itself. After I discovered this I looked it up online and all of the camera detail sheets I could find said something like "Time/Date Stamp: N/A" It didn't say "NO", it just said "N/A". The last film camera I owned years ago could stamp the time and date on the picture. This is something that has got to be simple to include, and I can't figure out why they didn't. This is a disappointment that caused me to return the camera, but it really was great for pictures, and such.

My husband bought me this camera for Christmas last year. I tried to convince him NOT to buy me one, because I didn't think a pocket size digital camera could take great photographs like my Nikon 35mm with changable lenses. Boy was I wrong. This camera is AWESOME, the detail, lighting, effects, everything is great. It is so easy to learn and use. I love the touch screen. I fly through it super fast. You can quickly change modes, colors, settings, instantly with the on screen touch display. No bulgy buttons, or anything. And the screen is HUGE!! This camera is hands down awesome. I high recommend it. If you would like to see some examples of the pictures I took with it. let me know...i would be more than happy to share the quality.

Review: The N2 is a winner!
by: Michael Olshansky on date: June 7, 2007

->Deals Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I was looking to replace my 4 megapixel digicam and did a ton of research looking for the ideal replacement. In the end, the CyberShot DSC-N2 is a winner.

This unit is lightning fast, takes great pictures in low light, has a killer movie mode, and a really nice photo album feature.

The detail captured by the 10.1mp CCD is stunning. Anyone that says "you don't need more megapixels unless you're making large prints" is either lying or uneducated when it comes to digital cameras. I took pictures of the same subjects with several lower megapixels cameras and the N2. The differences were literally night and day.

Unlike some older Cybershots, this unit's Auto mode is fantastic, making the right adjustments 99% of the time. This is what a consumer point-and-shoot is supposed to do.

Some may gripe about the lack of a stabilizer, but quite frankly, the N2 doesn't need it. I took tons of pictures in overcast conditions and out of 55 photos, the flash fired 3 times. Most consumer point-and-shoot cams would have fired the flash 40-50 times in the same conditions. Quite simply, this is such a fine camera in low light that the flash wasn't necessary! The pictures all came out fabulous!

The movie mode is very nice on the Fine setting, though it uses ancient MPEG1 technology which eats up space fast and is difficult to convert to modern formats such as MP4 or DiVX. The video converts, but the audio doesn't. I wish Sony would use something a little more modern in that regard.

The battery life is also very good for a camera with a 3" LCD. I got about 80 shots and a dozen movies before the battery called it quits. If you are using it more than this, an extra battery can't hurt.

The 3" touch-screen LCD is fantastic, though it's very difficult to see in direct sunlight. The touch screen interface is pretty easy to use, though it does have some quirks that may confuse less technical folks. The main complaint is that the "Main" menu feels incomplete since I have to jump around to find the exact setting I was looking for.

Flash range is above average for a compact digicam. It should be fine for most people.

As for the unit itself, it's clean, attractive, and simple. It fits in the pocket easily and seems fairly durable, though I recommend some sort of case to protect the touch screen. It seems pretty tough, but I'm not taking any chances.

I chose the N2 after comparing to units from Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, and Canon. Highly recommended!

Review: Great Photos, BUT --
by: M. Vickerman on date: June 7, 2007

->Best Price Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I buy lots of Sony products and in particular Sony Cameras. Ironically, the one I had about four years ago with 3.3. MP seems to have taken the best pictures of all, which I attribute to the telescopic (as opposed to internal) zoom lens. Comparing several cameras, it just seems this particular feature results in sharper, more dynamic photos. I was pleased to find the DSC-N2 went back to a telescopic lens in a compact style. The photos are fantastic and the camera is easy to use (once you get used to touch screen for everything). So I give the camera itself high marks. The reason for giving it a 1 star is this: The camera died after three months. It was working fine, I was in the middle of taking a shot when suddenly the camera froze. That was it. I buy enough electronics to know this happens from time to time and shouldn't be an overall deterrent. There's always a chance of a bad one in the bunch. However, the treatment from Sony was so appalling that I felt the need to offer this warning to others. I called Sony, they agreed it was still under warranty and asked that I mail it to the repair center. I get a call from them a week later telling me the camera suffered from internal corrosion caused by water moisture and is therefore not covered by the warranty (their policy is that the warranty does not cover any external or internal damage. Go figure). They told me it looked as if the camera had been submerged in water. I explained that didn't happen, but they would only go on what their technician told them. Evidentially a simple humid environment can cause internal corrosion. I was near the ocean. Go figure. The cost to repair the camera was $586. They're only other solution was for me to purchase a brand new one from them at a cost of $250. Obviously others are having good luck with their N2, but if this camera is so susceptible to humidity, one might consider an extended accidental warranty with the purchase.

Great camera. When I researched cameras...I chose this one knowing the optical zoom was really low. I thought I wouldn't need the zoom feature. I was wrong. The zoom is important. HOWEVER, the megapixels on this camera are so high, you can use software on your computer to zoom in on your image and crop and you still get fabulous prints. The screen on this camera is really nice. You can view it with ease outside even in full sun. The little video feature is remarkably better than I thought it would be. It's fun to get video clips of the kids, without having to break out the video camera. I've had great luck with this camera in all different light settings. I definatley recommend this camera.

I purchased the Sony DSC-N2 10mp camera about a month ago. I liked the features and the large 3" LCD screen but I was a little nervous about the touch screen. However, after reading a few reviews that I would give it a try. The touch screen works great and the camera takes great pictures. It has a very fast startup and quickly saves the pictures without a noticeable delay even using the highest resolution. It has high ISO sensitivity and when activated takes great pictures in almost pitch black conditions. The menus are easy to use and allow quiet a bit of customization.

->Deal Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I have been using this camera for 6 months. The screen size is great but the logic of navigation behind the touch screen is too complex: there are too many menus to select before getting the option you are looking for (for example, the delete function). The stylus pen is the first thing you lose and there is no standard USB connector on this camera : you have to use the cable provided with the camera which is cumbersome and you have to keep it with you when you go to see friends and want to show/copy your photos on their computer (unless they have a card reader compatible with the mini memory stick). When you zoom in a photo, there is too much "noise" in the photos, which is strange for a 10 megapixel camera. Before having this model, I've used a Sony Cybershot 7.2 megapixel which was far more intuitive to use and the photos taken offered a better quality.

I purchased this product because my last digital camera had the Zeis lens and took great pictures.

I am THRILLED with this camera. It takes such crisp, clean and clear pictures. The screen is huge and is so easy to zoom in/out and side to side. There are so many cool features on the camera itself with no need to download to a computer to make changes. The battery life seems to last a long time. You also have the capability to save pictures to the camera itself without a memory stick. I think it only saved 5 pictures but it was nice to test.

I was disappointed that the memory stick I had in my previous Sony camera was not compatible with this camera. I bought a 2 meg pro card and it holds tons of pictures. The battery needs to be charged outside of the camera and not directly while in the camera.

The camera isn't cheap but it is well worth every penny for a picture freak like me.

I was very happy with the previous model DSC-N1, which took very nice pictures just with pointing and shooting. But this one, while I only had chance to use it indoors and outdoor in raining weather, it really disappointed me. The pictures are always blured due to too much exposure, I used auto flash, for which the camera should takes nice pictures as it is a point and shoot camera and it is 10.1MP!

I'm going to try more when the weather gets better but most possible I will return it, I just can't accept the quality of the indoor pictures it takes. I doubt I was unlucky and got a bad one, I can't believe a 10.1MP sony camera takes so poor pictures. And after reading the previous review about the terrible Sony custmer servce, I decide I will avoid Sony customer service, and the camera will just be returned.

Note: Found the review by Cecelia Choy "cece" on March 13, 2007 mentioned the same problem I had. I didn't have this problem with my previous model DSC-N1.

This camera is way better than my old 5MP camera. For its size, its very stylish and sleek. The 3inch size LCD makes it very appealing. It has alot of feautures. You can actually vary the picture quality from a 5MP to 10MP, which is great if youre planning to take alot of pictures. Picture quality of night shots are clear, no more dim, blurry shots like my old camera. Sony video quality is very good, very clear and sharp. The features of this camera far outweighs its cons thats why i am gave it a four.

Here's the downsides. Its not cheap. Not many color preference. At certain angles and lighting the camera can appear silver to pink metallic. Extra pair of batteries can cost about $40. Only Uses Memory stick Duo card. Since its a touch screen expect it to get dirty so I suggest you get a screen cleaning kit.

Sony has been the very camera many have recommended to avoid. When I opened my Christmas gift, I was sadden to read the name SONY on the box.

First, I charged the battery and then slid in the 2 GIG memory stick. Without reading a single page of instructions, I was SHOCKED to discover how easy the camera operated. TOUCH SCREENS seem complictaed, but this was a joy to use. I will never go back to a button operated hand held camera again.

Second, with the combination of a quality optical lens and an incridible 10.1 MP photo, I was shocked at the quality of the images. Never have I seen so many options so easily adjusted as this camera offers.

Lastly, friends have invested twice as much to purchase large SLR style digital cameras and their photos have been half the quality. This camera has been well designed for the novice user, but with the specialized adjustments allows the mature user to optimize their photography skills to excel at near professional quality for a fraction of the cost.

BOTTOM LINE: This camera is a winner. Cost is excellent. Image adjustments offer excellent images. SONY has SHOCKED me with such quality.

We purchased this to replace the Canon PowerShot S40 Elph we had. For some reason we decided to try a Sony. Bad idea.

The camera came and upon first inspection we were happy. I took a few pictures with it. I wasn't blown away but they were okay. I admit I was a little bummed because they were not as nice as the Canon pictures but they were good enough. So I would have been happy. I had to add that red eye was a bit of a problem...but that can be edited out.

Then the battery needed to be charged. Now this was really not impressive because it didn't take much for the battery to need charging. Of course I'm comparing this with my Canon that I rarely charged. But again I thought I could deal with this.

So I charge the battery. I put it in the camera all ready to take pictures and the battery isn't charged. I put the battery in the charger, light goes on, stays on and then goes off. The battery won't charge. Grrrr..

I contact Sony. I am instructed that I should ship my camera and charger (at my cost) to Sony and in a few weeks they will send it back. So I'm to pay to send my brand new, yet broken camera, back to Sony and be without it for weeks. Not okay. My husband calls. He tells them he believes it must just be the charger, and the hubby is a techie type, and he would like them to send a new charger. My husband offered to give his credit card number to cover the cost of the charger and suggested that when the broken charger came back they could then credit him the amount. Everyone wins in this case. Well after over an hour on the phone, most of it spent on hold and the rest of the time with rude employees, my husband hung up and had not resolved the issue.

So what happened? The camera went back in the box and was returned.

We have since purchased a Canon PowerShot SD900 Digital Elph. I have not used it yet but I am very excited. The bottom line is Cannon cameras have a wonderful reputation and this camera had more to offer with little price difference. We feel this was probably a blessing in disguise that we didn't keep the Sony because there is talk of financial problems at Sony and some speculate that they may end up out of business.

I do not recommend this camera. After dealing with Sony's customer service (or lack of service) I would highly recommend finding another company to deal with when purchasing a camera.

I highly recomend this camera to everyone! I am really excited to have it and all the positive reviews i've read have been all true for the most part. Although I haven't had a chance to use it with spectacular sceneries I already practiced using the drawing feature and it's great. zoom works well as does the touch screen. Sony must really take pride in their product.

->Buy Now Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I purchased this camera to replace an older Sony DSC-S75 digital camera. That camera had performed well for many years, and indeed still works the same as when it was new. We wanted something a little smaller and with higher resolution. Turn on time was also a problem- often by the time I had the camera powered up and ready to shoot the moment had passed!

I looked around a LOT and was ready to purchase a Canon, but then a visitor from China showed me his Sony DSC-T50 (which had just been released in the US at the time) and I was convinced it was the way to go. While I was reading up on the T50 I found a lot of references to the N2. From what I could tell, the N2 had the same great touchscreen plus a few more advanced features and a higher resolution. The lower price was icing on the cake.

This is a "family" camera- nearly all our pictures are of our kids. The great thing about this camera is the large screen and the ability to easily and clearly show off your pictures to the rest of the family without having to gather around a computer.

I think the touch screen is great. I like not having a camera full of more buttons than I'll ever figure out how to use. For someone that wants full manual control over all the shots I suspect an SLR type camera is the way to go. For someone who will be taking 95% of their shots in the default "auto" mode, I think this is the way to go.

I've taken some shots at night with mixed results. I took some pictures of a house during Halloween which was decorated with orange string lights. Holding the camera by hand produced one clear image out of three. I've found the best thing to do is set the camera down and use the 2 second timer to take pictures in extremely low light conditions. In dim light (not twilight) it does better, and in normal cloudy to daylight conditions pictures are great.

Overall I'm most pleased with the small size of the camera and the large touchscreen. The turn-on time is fast too. I've taken some movies of the kids playing and dancing and they turned out excellent. I purchased a gigabyte of memory for the camera, particularly for use with the movie mode. Battery life is good too, even with such a large screen.

I'd recommend this camera to anyone wishing to catch a growing family on "film".

Review: Great Compact Digital!!

->Wholesale Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I choose this camera because of its small size, 10 megapixels, large bright screen and previous good luck with Sony. I also bought the 4 gig card as I wanted capacity for a lot of high resolution pics.

The touch screen is GREAT!! You can figure out most of the features of the camera right away just using the touch menu.

I hooked the camera up to my PC without additional software and it worked instantly with windows. The picture quality, resolution and color are nothing short of AMAZING on a pc monitor, Photo quality in ten megapixels is incredible....

I have had several other Nikon & Sony digital camera's but nothing like the picture quality of this one in 10.1 mode.

The camera actually lets you build photo slide shows with built in special effects and music (downloaded or already on the camera).

Ease of use, picture quality, large bright screen, small size and touch menu system make this a true "Best in Class".

Cant go wrong with this one.



Review: The BEST Camera Ever!

->Best Price Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I waited for this camera and brought it the week it was released. I am in love with this camera. As others wrote, there is still much to be discovered as I continue to learn and read the manual, but I took pictures immediately. It is easier to use and quicker to change settings during picture taking events. The low light photos are great, as are action shots. The large viewing screen is wonderful. I looked at the 10 megapixel SLR cameras, but to have that capability in such a small format fit my needs so much better. My pictures are clear and close and great for croping and enlarging. Thanks Sony!

->Best Price Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I purchased this camera mainly for the one feature the others don't offer which is the High Sensitivity function (ISO 1600), it is fantastic, I am taking pictures in thick fog at night and they are amazingly clear and sharp,no flash needed at all , sunsets come out beautiful.

As far as I know this is the only compact point and shoot to have this feature, which only came in the bigger Digital SLRs.Also the writing on the screen feature is fun, and the touchscreen navigation is easy and quick to do.

One thing I haven't done yet is to figure out how to see the screen in bright sunlight, anyone have any suggestions?

Review: This was a good choice for me!

I JUST received this camera yesterday, and have had very little time to play with it.

However, since there were no reviews here, I decided to share my first impressions to help others.

I choose this camera because of its small size, 10 megapixels, and large viewing screen.

The battery came partially charged. I also had ordered a 4-gig card to go in the camera, so I was ready to go.

The camera turns on almost instantly. It turns off just as quickly.

I was able to figure out most of the basic features of the camera right away. It is all pretty intuitive, and the large, sharp touch screen works well.

I took pictures indoors and out. I tried the flash and the optical zoom and they worked fine.

I was easily able to take movies with it. They are in the mpeg format that the PC windows media player handles. It seems that in high quality 640 my 4-gig card can hold one hour of movie, and in the lower 640 quality it can hold three hours. I base that on the countdown indicator that shows up on the screen when in movie mode.

There is an attachment that hooks the camera up to a TV and the pictures and movies play FROM THE CAMERA in great definition on the TV. The movie sound when played on the camera is a little tinny because of the small speaker, but when played from the camera on the TV, the sound on the TV speaker was loud and clear!

I hooked the camera up to my computer without using the additional software, and was able to copy pictures and videos from the camera to the PC and back to the camera. The resolution was perfect and everything worked well.

The quality of the photos in ten megapixels is super, as is the quality of high quality movies.. the lower quality movie isn't that bad, but it is noticeable.

That is all I have done so far. I am VERY pleased with the camera, and my fiancée thinks my choice was brilliant.

I will come back with more as I play with it.

((I have had the camera for several months now. It is really a great camera. The pictures are perfect almost everytime. The touch screen controls are easy to understand and use, and I carry the camera with me everywhere I go. I have a 30 inch apple monitor and the pictures look PERFECT in high resolution as my wallpaper. I even took a picture of an accident with it that the local paper used for the article! So far, I am very pleased.))

->Comparison Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

This is a great camera, especially if you like a simple point and shoot which you can carry anywhere. I think the image quality is great and the optical zoom works really well; as does the digital zoom, even though it is really unnecessary to use a digital zoom since you can achieve the same closeness by using the magnifying tool on your computer.

Review: This is a big disappointment

->Price Sony Cybershot DSC-N2 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Terrible digital zoom. Picture become blurred once entered digital zoom. Optical zoom is good. Paying this amount of money on a camera which has only 3x optical zoom(since digital zoom is useless)is not worth.
