Not a good buy!

I was given this camera as a gift, and from day one I found it to be somewhat irritating. Without the feature of a zoom, your picture taking abilities are very limited. If you're trying to take pictures from any distance, the quality is very low. The movie feature is basically worthless, due to the short recording time you are given, and the lack of sound. Trying to keep this small camera in batteries is terrible as well. I have purchased tons of rechargeable batteries, including the sony pack for this camera, and can only take two or three pictures max on them. Even brand new batteries are drained instantly. I contacted sony about this and they were no help. I would suggest you take your money and invest it in a camera you can actually use!
