The camera takes good pictures, even in low light. Previously I had a Minolta A200 which I liked better by the colors and the contrast here. But who wants to make a lot of pictures with flash in succession into a problem after about 20 photos. It takes 15-20 seconds before until the flash despite full battery back is ready prisoner annoyed them work the old AF - Lenses of my very old Minolta (analog) with no problems at Sony.
