Awesome camera!
I LOVE this camera!!!! I’ve gotten many comments that it is very nice (especially the pinkness of it) and many people are amazed at the 12.
I had (and lost) the Cybershot DSW120 and LOVED it. I have a toddler and the two most important qualities I was looking for are fast shutter speed and no blurry pics. I was trying to save a few bucks and bought this camera to replace my lost one, thinking it would be just as good…No! The shutter delay is 6 seconds, a lifetime when you have a moving toddler. The pictures were blurry, and the colors were very dark. I returned it and purchased the DSW120 again.

Great deal for good camera!
For the price and what you get, this camera is great! Cute pink Sony camera with memory card and attractive case is what sealed the deal!

es practica
La camara es practica, pero encuentro que tiene pocas cosas, no tiene marcos, para visualizar las fotos al ir pasandolas se comienzan a ver borrosas, luego se ven bien.
A week ago yesterday my new digi-cam ( Sony Cybershot DSC-S980 )arrived in the mail. I ordered it from Amazon via next day shipping because I needed it for my little sis’ senior prom happening Friday. It arrived on time & in perfect condition.
When I decided to purchase this specific bundle there were no reviews on Amazon for it, but there were for just the camera itself. I read over them & decided to go with it because it seemed like a good little camera for the price. I’m not disappointed at all.
I just checked the reviews for the bundle & there were two that gave it only one star. Their complaints did not seem to make sense to me at all!
The reviews stated that this camera’s shutter speed had a 6 second delay. I witnessed no such thing & just to make sure I had my hubby double check. We both came to the conclusion, after counting “one Mississippi, two Mississippi…” that the delay is only 1 – 2 seconds. Then just to triple check I took a pic of my kitchen timer set for 6secs, I hit both the timer & the shutter button at the same time & the pic was taken on the 5 second mark indicating that it is only about a one second delay.
The next complaint was that the pix turned out blurry. I failed to notice this thing called “blurry” that they speak of!
It was also stated in these reviews that the pix came out to dark. Again I fail to see it…
I am by NO MEANS skilled in taking pictures (just go to my myspace & check out the pix taken with my previous camera!) Yet I find it very simple to use this camera. The pictures turn out lovely. The settings are easy to figure out, the display screen is clear, bright & BIG. The text for the menu options is also a decent size so you don’t have to strain to see what setting you want. All in all I personally think this camera ROCKS & am very pleased with my choice…plus it’s PINK!!
If you’d like to see the full review I gave this camera AND the pix I took using it please refer to my blog:

I use this camera to take pictures for my blog. I carry it with me daily and have never had any problems. The camera is tiny and so user friendly. Lots of programs from point and shoot to manual modes. Lots of individual choice on control but make sure you understand the options and functions or be prepared to play. If you’ve had a Sony digital before you will be familiar with the controls and the learning curve will be brief. I have had no problem with extreme shutter delay or blurriness. I found low light auto shoot had the worst delay but still was minimal, but I am not photographing a toddler. I got crisp pics with lots of fine detail and nice saturated color. Packaging is also great. The pink camera and matching case have been a real hit. I’ve received numerous, “oh, that is so cute!” comments when I’ve used it at the garden center, park, bookstore, etc. I have many cameras. I’m sure some of them are technically better but this one is good quality and convenient.

This is a no
Look elsewhere. I have the DSC-W300, and love it. Bought this for my sister, and thought I’d try it out. Glad I did because it’s going back.
