Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W370

Sony Cybershot W370 - bought this camera for my son who already had a sony cybershot because I thought that the added feature of panoramic shots would be great. Yes they were but it seemed to detract from the other features. For example shots seemed to go in and out of focus; some shots were not clear at all; and technically the camera's battery door was situated at the bottom and not at the side as usual and when trying to take a shot the door kept falling open. All in all I don't think this camera was up to sony's usual standard. Perhaps they should not have tried to put the panoramic feature on this size camera. I bought the camera from Tesco Direct and had no problem in returning the product for a full refund. Maybe we had a faulty camera and another one would have been ok but my son did not want to take the chance. I would be interested to head from other reviewers who have bought this camera what they think
