 Not recommended, 2007-07-22
I have bought two Sony Cybershot digital cameras within the past three years, and was very very disappointed.
At first everything seemed great, but the first one just stopped working within about eighteen months for no discernable reason, and refused to function any more. There was no point sending it off to Sony as they'd charge for repairs and for that cost I might as well buy a replacement which is why I bought the second one. About fifteen months later exactly the same thing happened, it just stopped working. Now, I am extremely careful with my electrical goods and proof of that is that I still have electrical items from twenty-five years ago in perfect condition, so I knew the problem wasn't me but Sony.
I'll never buy their cameras again.
Does everything!, 2007-01-21
The Sony DSC-S40 Cyber-shot Digital Camera is perfect, small, easy to use and great for movies too! By far the best digital camera I have used and seen. Highly recommended!
Simple, Quick and easy..., 2006-01-20
Ideal for first timers, or if your looking for an excellent value for money camera....
No frills, just quick, easy to use from the box, and the batteries (BUY RECHARGABLE ONES!!) just keep on going...!!!
Excellent all rounder with a good (glass) lens, 4 mega pixels, 3x optical zoom and good reliablity...
Wont find better for the price.....
what a shame..., 2006-11-04
i bought this camera about a year ago, it was my second digital camera ( the first one a problem this its battery life), so this time i went for a reliable sony. it was brilliant and did every thing that i needed, good battery life, easy to use and small and compact, however one day it just stoped working, showing the same access message other sony cameras seem to have, i sent it back but they said they couldn't fix it, what a shame because it was my baby, i would warn people of getting a sony camera now.
Can't fault it!, 2006-03-02
Although not the main user of the camera, my girlfriend has instructed me to write this review for her!! I bought the S40 for her to go travelling as a basic compact digital. I swayed for this one due to the superior Zeiss optics and ease of use when I fiddled with a demo model. So.. the verdict from the girlfriend: Brilliant! Easy to use, quality pictures, battery life is brilliant, ableit with rechargables, (especially as she is travelling, thus it is not always possible to re-charge flat / or buy new batteries) She has loved using the camera, the ease of use has enabled her to take around 600 - 700 pics in less than 2 months! And the results are excellent, rich but balanced colours, exposure in spot on in all but the trickiest situations (combinations of large dark or light areas all in the same frame, fools the meter slightly, but it still copes pretty well.) To be honest the majority of bad exposures are in photos that all but the most advanced meters would cope with.. ie Semi pro SLR style. Bottom line: an excellent buy.. great price, great photos, easy to use.. overall truly brilliant. Well worth it for the beginner or someone just looking for a cheap and easy to use camera capable of results worthy of a significantly higher price tag. 5/5 .. She couldn't fault it in any way.. hope this is helpful! : )
