Since I as a SLR camera a Leica use for 13 years, I am very spoiled. I was looking for a handy digital camera for quick and good photos. I have not been disappointed. The color reproduction is superb. The sharpness of the images perfectly. The difference to the recordings of my Leica I see only at very high magnifications. The Cybershot is suitable for portraits and for Lasndschaftsaufnahmen alike. Also snapshots are well. The camera has only a weak point, and these are fast movements (zBSportaufnahmen). Here it is too slow. The continuous shooting can not replace it because the individual receiving then reduced to approximately 1 million Pi. Otherwise, it's a great camera that will not disappoint even professionals.
