Opinion: Excellent compact camera! I've owned many Sony digital cameras before and I'll have to say, this one has the most fun features yet. It has a paint setting that lets you draw on your pictures and also has a stamp feature letting you stamp paw prints, snow flakes and other fun images on your photos. The slide show is pretty cool too, it lets you add up to four (3min or less) mp3 files to play in your slide show and also has cool picture effects in the slide show. The 10 megapixel image quality is more than enough for being able to crop pictures and still get good 8x10 prints. Battery life is excellent for having a bright 3" LCD with touchscreen.
Problems: On the downside, my biggest complaint with this camera is the unprotected LCD/touchscreen. Even putting a PDA screen protector on the display won't stop it from easily getting broken. Also, one very important feature this camera is missing is a manual white balance option, pictures taken indoors without a flash come out yellowish/orange, the incandescent white balance works better than the auto white balance for this, but it's still not the true colors. The red-eye is pretty bad because the flash is very close to the lens, but no where near as bad as any of the Sony "T" series cameras which are rediculously bad with red-eye. Also, the images start to get very noisy/grainy at ISO 400 and above and ISO 1600 is very bad and almost useless. When saving an image after you use the paint or stamp feature, it only saves it as a .3 megapixel 640x480 VGA image which is only good for viewing on the camera or on a computer.
Opinion: If you used a Sony before it shouldn't be that confusing using the 3'' touch screen with the similar icons for setttings.
The interface is simple but super quick. You will get the joy of a pocket camera with a manual mode & a well working flash. You have the control of high aperture F8-16 in manual, perfect for landscapes provided a little tripod with you.
The new light 1/1.7 sensor is better than before, with 10mps, it takes well lit photos.
Problems: With flash enabled: Does not let you preview the correct DOP well. :( Have to go to non flash & perview before that. :(
The lens while cleaning dries before a clean dry-swipe. :(
Opinion: I liked everything about this camera, until i started taking outside shots, with "forced flash". Almost half of them had a white halo effect just to the right, and above center. It could be because the flash is so close to the lens. It's a shame, because other than that serious flaw it seems very good. I returned the camera.
Problems: White, halo effect on flash shots.
Opinion: I have owned the T1 then the DSC N1 and now the DSC N2 my opinion is if you want a simple pocket sized camera, that takes all round good photo's this is the one. I have tried the cannons and the fugis but always come back to my Sony.
Some of the things you can do with this unit are realy cool the paint option the way it saves the last deleted set of pics etc etc. I have one big gripe with the new N2 over the NI and that is Sony in their wisdom? have taken away th edate and time stamp! Very annoying as I use it all the time to prove date and time. So maybe I will be getting another camera.
Problems: No date and Time stamp on N2.
Difficult to find video to playback.
