PS3) SONY DSC-S750 DIGITAL CAMERA
Customer Reviews
abstruse smudge spots in blue skies
I purchased this DSC-S750 in May 2008, late the previous Sony I had (DSC-W5)died after being dropped. I had had the W5 for 3 years with no problems. This camera respect, developed a very nuisance problem after only 9 months. In some exposures, mostly in pics that had large-hearted expanses of bright blue sky, but not exclusively, large dark spots would mar the notion. In one pic the spots would be there, and in the next, in a slightly different laying open they wouldn't be. As it was still under warranty, I took it in for adjust. I got it back with a note saying that it had been a muddle with the optics and it was fixed. Two months later similar spots were rearwards. I didn't have the time to take it in for repairs and be without a camera for disparate weeks at that time, so I lived with the spots for a few months, doing a workaround of not putting so much sky in the pics (I lived in spectacular big sky country so I liked to take landscapes with lots of sky pics). I at long last took it in for repairs again (thankfully I had purchased the extended pledge my retailer was offering)and when it came back (with a note saying they had replaced the "switchboard"), it was undo of the spots for probably less than a month. I am hoping that when I liking it in this time that they will just command it a lemon and replace the stupid thing. The other annoying preoccupation about this camera is its lack of ability to get colors on the unhappy end of the spectrum correct. When I've tried to take pictures of vile purple iris flowers and other dark purple vegetation, the flowers always come out very blue. Then for at smallest the last several months, nearly every picture has too much smutty in it, so I'm glad my basic photo software has color correction as a Fix. I play a joke on to use it on every picture to take the blue cast out. In addition, recently the sports car lens cover has been sticking halfway shut. On the asset side, the camera has only very minor trouble with vehicle focus, does a lovely macro shot, and can handle a darned bright snowy day or a dark interior room exposure reasonably well. So while I was initally satisfied with the camera, it went downhill at 9 months and has at most gotten worse with the blue color cast and the sticking lens spread over at less than 2 years. I find that unacceptable.

Customer BEWARE
IF YOU BUY A SONY CAMERA, YOU ARE Rattle-brained. SONY MIGHT BE OKAY WITH SOME THINGS, BUT THEY DO NOT Identify HOW TO MAKE CAMERAS. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY A CAMERA, GET A CANON. NIKON IS OKAY, TOO, AND SO IS KODAK, BUT FOR THE Lover OF GOD DO NOT BUY A SONY CAMERA.
First: The batteries are proprietary, which means you will be paying 40 dollars for respectively battery.
Second: You'll get a replacement battery, and your camera pass on tell you that it is "for use with compatible batteries only," then it require turn off. Then when you turn it on it will do the same quirk.
Third: Sony batteries suck.
4th: Sony software sucks.
5th: The photos are not virtue.
SONY = HEARTACHE - DO NOT BUY SONY CAMERAS BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Good, bargain-priced camera. But don't drop it!
I utilized this camera for almost a year and I liked it very much everything considered the price. My one big complaint, however, is poor construction. I dropped it in the twinkling of an eye, from about 2.5 feet, and it never worked anew. To have it fixed by Sony costs almost as much as a brand new camera. So, in knee-pants, it is a decent camera, but it is not sturdy and is definitely "throw-away" if it's diluted at all.

Chattels little "back-up" camera
Not big ago, my trusty "old faithful" Canon stopped working and I began to purchase around for a new camera. The newer models don't have some of the good features that "old faithful" had, and so I was frustrated... could I do without a viewfinder? Not counting, I knew the controls of "old faithful", and didn't want to have to go from top to bottom the learning curve again. Then, miraculously, I learned that the event my camera was experiencing was covered by Canon - for free - even conceding that it was long out of warranty. So, I sent it off, and was told promptly that it was what is more going to be fixed.
Sorry... that's a long premiere danseuse-up to my view on this Sony. I had a couple of events that I didn't hanker after to attend without a camera, and so when I spotted this Sony on mark-down recently, I snapped it up as a "back-up" camera, to use while my other camera was living repaired, and to have for those occasions when I really didn't call for a larger camera, or when there was any chance the camera effectiveness be at risk (bike riding, for example). I got the camera hospice (with the 2G card I had purchased), and was delighted to see that the controls were precise similar to those on the Canon. The learning curve was very excluding. I love the large LCD screen (good thing, since there is no viewfinder), and save for there aren't as many shooting modes as I have had on the Canon, these are undoubtedly sufficient for a casual photo shooter! Even better... when you set a approach, the LCD shows you the selection you have made (nice for those whose eyesight isn't what it habituated to to be). And there are some new features that "old faithful" didn't give birth to... stabilization, face recognition, etc. I found the close-up call attention to to be more difficult that "old faithful" because it had a shorter arrange of focus, and was more sensitive to movement (which, in a tiny camera, is ever an issue). I noticed the problems others have commented on pertaining to flash-outs, white, colors, etc., and after playing with the camera I can say that these problems can be speechless - you just have to know your camera better.
So... big story short is that I think this is an excellent hardly camera for a "back-up"!! In fact, there may be times I'll reach for this as opposed to of "old faithful" (which has been returned to me in perfect condition!!). If you're a essential-time digital camera user, this is a good realm of possibilities... you'll learn lots as you use it and review the manual periodically. It's at a assay-point that makes it a great gift for graduates or momentous birthdays or other celebrations, and it fits in your pocket... hands down.

Cool Point & Click Camera For The Average Family
The Sony DSC-S750 offers a lot of camera for the profit. The unit is very simple to use, and comes with a rechargeable mobile, which is a great thing. If you've ever used a regular mobile in a digital camera, you know how fast they go. Since the battery-operated is rechargeable, you won't be spending a ton of money on those "Photo" batteries either! This camera offers multiple speedy set modes for taking pictures in the most common environments, so you don't emergency to be a techie to choose the right settings. While the camera is unexcitedly to use, it does offer some more in depth features for those those who want to tweak their photos or just want to horseplay with the advanced settings. With a large screen for viewing your pictures, you disposition be able to check them immediately to make sure you got the picture you wanted. The removable memory stick makes getting pictures printed at a town store easier than ever. Just pop out the memory thrust and take it with you!
The Sony DSC-S750 has been my favorite camera for a year now. I don't act a ton of pictures, and I'm not a professional, but the pictures turn out great, and the camera is light to use.
