Summary: Bring the camera with your everywhere you go ...
Review: Sony products has always been known for their style and quality, and this tiny (and I mean tiny) camera is no exception. Easily fit into your palm, this camera would fit into your pocket without you knowing it's there. Form factor wise, this camera just can't be beaten.

When it comes to quality of photo taken, I found after 3 months of use that outdoor pictures come out near perfect. The only 2 pictures that I had problem with is in one Chinese Eatery where the light is dim and in weird yellowish colour, and I highly suspect that some of the bigger "higher MP" camera would give have given me the same result.

This camera does not have zoom, and it does take a while to get used to the fact that you have to bring the camera forward physically. A camera this small means it is very easy to have covered the lens or the flash without knowing. But you'd get used to all these and be snapping pictures whenever people least expect it.

If you have a normal camera that you find yourself leaving at home most of the time, this camera is for you. I have it with me almost 24/7.

Summary: I like it, but regret it too...
Review: The main reason for having this stuff is its size. You can put in the pocket or just hang it with strap around your neck. If this can make you happy, this stuff is for you. I thought I'm one, but I'm not.

I like to shoot without flash, since some cam flash is not hard enough to light, say a room, and it save power. But this tiny cam can not grap available light good enough to have bright pic, so if you are in low light room, that'll what you get. Do not expect it bright since it doesn't have white balance. Man, I didn't notice it.

But if you like to flash, this cam will give you good enough pic when you active its fill in flash mode. It's like you shoot it with no flash. This feature may good enough to think we have what we deserve. But not for me.

Summary: Great Buy for a small package
Review: The Sony Cybeshot DSC-u20 is a fantastic buy and a great little camera. I reolaced my bulky Panasonic Super Disk camera with the Sony and I couldn't be more pleased. The pictures are every bit as good as larger cameras with more mega pixels. You can print an 8 x 10 that is frameable and displayable !
I highly recommend this product. It's small enough to fit in your shirt pocket and very easy to use.

Summary: A fun little camera!
Review: The three things I took into consideration when I was shopping for a digital camera was: size, price and picture quality. This camera met all 3 requirements easily.

Size: almost as small as the current crop of cell phones. People couldn't believe how small it was. Personally, it's a little on the thick side so I put it in my pants instead of my shirt pocket.

Price: good value for your money. More features than you'd expect from a sub camera. Comes with its own recharger and NI-MH batteries. About 13 hours to charge it fully.

Picture quality: I was actually quite surprised by the picture quality. Really. It's more than just decent or average, it's good. Movie quality however is terrible. Don't bother with it unless you are outdoors with lots of light. Also, you cannot record sounds.

Bottom line: you'll be glad you gave this camera a shot. Great conversation piece too. Pop in a 128 MB memory stick and you can take up to 244 pictures at 1632x1224! It's just a lot of fun!

Summary: 4.5 stars wasnt an option
Review: The title says it. A perfect camera is cheap with infinite zoom and perfect quality. Not to mention size. This has the price, the size, and pretty good quality. So its close. The good features are the LCD (small but out of the way), the size (smaller than anything else), the start-up time, the photo effects (negative, sepia, b&w, solarize), and surprisingly good picture quality. The bad is a few dots on one or two of the pictures out of 30 or so, not enough mem comes with it, the difficulty of turning on and off the display, and no zoom (but I dont miss it). There isnt a viewfinder, but the LCD works really well and is small enough to see under any light. In the dark you can see as much as you would in a viewfinder. The point is the Cybershot is small, relatively inexpensive, and has good picture quality to most. I wouldnt exchange for anything else. The size rules. At basketball games or the beach just rip it out of your pocket and youve got a picture 5 sec later.

Summary: if you ever wanted to ALWAYS have a camera with you
Review: then this is the one.

For its small size this camera can't be beat.
This camera is basically about the size of a pack of bubble gum and is completely functional as well. The flash is powerfull, the camera "boots up" instantly, pictures transfer quickly to your computer, the battery life is good and the picture quality is comparable to the canon digital elph. I have used for almost a month now and taken around 300 pictures. Which is 300 more than I took the month before :). There are, however, some people that have had a few bad things to say about this camera. Most complaints I have read such as the "battery charge time" are easily refuted. Sony included a cheap battery charger with the package. I picked up a fast NIMH battery charger from an electronics store and some extra rechargeable AAA batteries for and the problem was solved, case closed. This is my first and will probably be my only review on amazon. I just wanted to share some info on a great camera. I hope everyone found this helpful.

Summary: Sony has done it again
Review: This camera is amazing. I've only had it for 2 weeks and I love it. I already have a 3.3 megapixel camera with zoom (Sony DSC-P1) so this was more of a "pocket" camera. Just something to throw in my pocket for "everyday events" that I want to capture.

PROS:
1) The size is the biggest - it will fit anywhere.
2) Batteries - It takes two AAA (It came with rechargable ones) but in a bind you can get AAA's anywhere.
3) All the features are there (red-eye reduction, index for taken pics, picture effects, etc....)

CONS:
1) There is no zoom - if this is going to be your "first" digital camera I would consider the somewhat larger but optically more advanced Sony's.
2) 2 Megapixels - This is actually good and bad. 2 Megapixs is at the border of a "good" picture (IMHO). On a monitor, they look fine and they can be cropped slightly; but printing large pics or magging up too much gives a pixelly result. On the other hand, my 64 MB card holds over 120 pictures.

Summary: Great Buy!!!!
Review: This camera is amazing. Is so small that I always carry it with me. The quality of the pictures is really good, and is ready to shot pictures just a couple of seconds after openning the lenses.

The two things that I did not like about the camera is that it comes with a very small memory card (8 Mb), so you better buy a bigger one. Another thing is that you can't hook it up to the TV.

Since I got this camera I've been taking pictures all the time. All my friends are telling that is an awesome camera. Definetly worth buying :)

Summary: Sony DSC-U20
Review: This camera takes Brilliant color Pictures.It work for me very well.But i have two only need one easy to carry around.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Good Camera, with a few exceptions...
Review: This is an excellent "point and click" camera. Its 2megapixels give you what you need -- although 2mp's might not be enough for some people.

Two Issues:
FIRST thing everyone must know about this camera are the red-eye results. The flash is RIGHT NEXT to the shutter/lens, making it a great candidate for a lot of red-eye, even with the red-eye reduction capabilities (flash, flash, flash, FLASH).

SECOND thing everyone must know is that in a dark setting, the camera takes a 3-4 seconds in addition to the flash charge-time between taking pictures.

Overall I'm really happy with it. I bring this camera everywhere due to its compactness. Honestly, it's smaller than you think. Smaller in size, compared to my Nokia 8390 cellphone, but a bit thicker. And the photo quality for the camera's physical size is great. Although the ISO adjustment in dark settings makes it a bit grainy.
