General Comments
I hate mine but it's too late to change it.
Try going on a sailing holiday where you don't have mains power to charge the pathetic 650mAH battery that costs a fortune. Sony didn't even think that a 12v charger would be useful. The memory is expensive too. It won't take power from the PSs USB port either. If the PC goes off while you've got the Sony connected the lens will try and force itself open. Most actions shots are poor because it takes too long to actually take the picture, so you normally end up getting the back of someones head and you can forget low light. There's no way to make appature/speed adjustments.
Since I've had this camera I've gone off Sony and generaly avoid their products out of spite.
