Key Advantages

The Exmor R CMOS sensor significantly improves low-light performance compared to standard sensors.

Optical SteadyShot effectively reduces camera shake, ensuring sharper images and smoother videos.

The Full HD 1080p video capability makes it versatile for capturing high-quality video content.

A bright 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD enables user-friendly operation and quick access to settings.

Compact and stylish design makes it highly portable and attractive for everyday use.

Wider 26mm wide-angle lens lets users capture broader scenes, enhancing compositional flexibility.

Limitations

Limited manual controls make it less suitable for advanced photographers seeking full creative control.

Battery life is moderate, around 220 shots per charge, which may require carrying extra batteries for extended use.

No built-in GPS for geotagging photos is available.

The camera lacks a viewfinder, relying solely on the LCD screen, which can be challenging under bright sunlight.

Storage depends on Memory Stick Duo and SD/SDHC cards, which sometimes have slower write speeds compared to modern standards.

ISO sensitivity tops at 12800 but with increased noise at higher settings, limiting its effectiveness in extreme low light.
