A week ago today 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.
I purchased this bundle mainly because I adored the camera case! LOL
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...
This was taken on the up-close/macro setting just to mess around & check it out. It was while my sis was getting ready for prom. I was in the kitchen, there were no lights on in the kitchen, dining room or living room. I did not have the flash turned on & the only source of light was BEHIND me from a window which had the mini blinds opened but was still covered by a sheer white curtain. I'm sorry I just don't see how their pics came out to dark if this one didn't!
I am by NO MEANS skilled in taking pictures (just go to my myspace & check out the pix taken with my pervious 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 tezt 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!!
This product gets 5 out of 5 meows

I wanted this camera so bad, but the reviews scared me off. I am so happy that you posted these pics. They look amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy bf just bought me the camera for our 3rd anniversary. When I saw the reviews I was a little nervous but after seeing your pics I'm psyched. Your pics came out really nice!
ReplyDeleteI saw your review on Amazon and decided to come here to check out your pics...they look great! Your review (and this blog + pics) has persuaded me to purchase this camera! Thx!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments and the pics look great. i am going to order this Dig camera for my daughter she is turning 5yrs on 16th June and she is very good with cameras.
ReplyDeleteAnd the colour is just right for a Girl.
this is totally awesome! i have placed my order. apparently prices hv went up to approx 200usd together with the camera case(old price: 150usd).
ReplyDeleteHi when I first saw this camera on Amazon they had only five left at a really great price, then the next day there was only one and the price had increased. I became hysterical as I really wanted this camera. But I eventually got it at the incresaed price. I am not a camera pro, but I really liked the presentation. I didn't really read the reviews as I was a first time Amazon shopper so I purchased the camera prior to reading them. I have not gotten it yet as I am in Jamaica awaiting its arrival and I can't wait. Thanks for the pictures they are great.
