Hi all sifus,

I humbly would like your advices or inputs regarding this compact camera from Sony.

Was over at Mid Valley to search for compact camera and I stumbled upon this.

The zoom quality is great, with rotating screen for selfie shots.

Bad thing I read over online reviews is that the screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight.

I got offered RM 1.1k for this, plus 16 GB memory card and casing.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

It is basically a phone camera with zoom function. 1/2.33" sensor won't take you far from the best smartphone.

Thanks for your reply.

I see, will study more about sensor type.

What do you think of this camera as a travel point and shoot camera?

Should work good until ISO 800. wink.gif Not really a camera for low light.
