Terrible picture quality

One of the attraction of the series is its beautiful setting which also reflects the period. The poor picture quality of this edition makes it difficult to appreciate the details.

Bought one of these at a good price, but the price is not good enough to keep it.  Upgrading from an older Kodak C730 3.1MP, I was very disappointed.  The picture quality is just simply awful.  I took much better quality pictures with my older camera.  The turnout is grainy in most situations (every now and then you get lucky with a good one) and the color seems to be very dull.  Software enhancement didn't help much either.  I tried playing with all the settings, but it didn't seem to help.  Besides, I never had to adjust anything on the Kodak, Auto seemed to work just fine.  I think this is a camera that somebody who has never owned a digital camera would enjoy, or maybe someone who is upgrading from one of those cheap off brand cameras you see in stores for under $50.  But if you've ever used a decent quality digital camera, look elsewhere.  I was very surprised that Sony would let a product with such low quality out into the market.  Learned something new.  This is my first Sony still camera, and probably will be my last.  I was willing to live without the view finder because the style of the camera made it easy to use without one.  It's a very attractive camera, small and sleek.  Too bad it doesn't operate as well as it looks.  Think I'm gonna look at a Canon PowerShot A590IS next, I've heard good things about them.  Besides, I have a lot of SD cards laying around, didn't feel like spending the extra money on a proprietary memory card that Sony is cashing in on (MemoryStick).

Image quality is terrible for some reason.  I compared it shot for shot with an older Powershot model.  My older model focused better, and gave truer color.

This newer model is lighter, faster, and easy to use, which are the reasons (plus wifi) why I purchased it, but in the end, I really want great picture quality.  It's being returned.

Really bad picture quality, not even sure if kids could enjoy this. The camera is crap and the viewer only lets you see first hand its crap. Spend 20 bucks more and get something better.

The camera is durable and my kids like playing with it (that's why it gets 2 stars instead of 0) but it takes terrible photos.  It is nearly impossible to see the image in the viewfinder and nearly all of the photos come out blurry.  I wasn't expecting the worlds best photos, but I at least wanted something that my daughter (who loves to take pictures) would be able to use to put together scrap books.  This camera does not suffice.

I do not recommend this product.

The pictures are not great quality, it seems to have issues with trying to take vertical photos as well. Also the video is AWFUL. When you try to watch it on your computer later (no matter what format you try) it is choppy, skips, the audio will continue, but the video will lag. It is absolutely impossible to play back a video and see the whole thing. Terrible camera.

I got this as christmas gift, and used it mostly indoors, sometime at night, for the past month. The still pictures came out very bad. That doesn't bother me much since I have digital cameras. However, this camera is very poor indoors, even with the night mode, the video came with very high background, color granules everywhere. it is much worse than the old miniDV I have, a Sharp model I got in 2001, which is very bulky but has been very reliable. I made two DVD side by side, and the one with Canon looks horrible. Outdoor shots are fair, but many occasions I have to take shots indoor or at night. I would go with other models if possible.

Poor image quality, very grainy.  Win7 usually did not recognize it at all, sometimes it recognized a new USB device, but unknown.  Included software did not help much.  Got it to work a few times.  Turning up the LED lighting caused a white glare on half the screen.  Not acceptable.

The visual quality of this dvd is terrible!  It looks like a pirated copy of a copy of a copy.  If I wanted to watch a big blur on my tv screen I could've just taken off my glasses instead of spending money on this dvd.  Very disappointing, because I really love this movie.

The camera quality is garbage.  10MP shouldn't look like my first 1.3 MP digital camera from the early 00s, but when you look at the pics saved to the SD card, they are junk.  Furthermore, the thing accidentally opens if you bump the top and will take photos easily without intent.  It was a massive disappointment.

I buy a camcorder for one reason only--video quality. All the other features are really just pointless. I want to be able to take clear crisp images of my family--this camcorder does not fit that bill. I am returning it. The quality even on the highest quality setting was terrible. I feel bad for anyone suffering through watching video made with this piece of junk. If you are reading this before you buy---save yourself the headache and move onto a different camcorder.

Picture quality is terrible. There are better options out there for the money. Looks ok from a distance but when you look closely the pictures look out of focus. Very easy to use and the frame looks great. Unfortunately I want the pictures to look good, not just the frame.

The image quality from this camera is mind-bogglingly terrible.  The photos are almost useless, they're so bad.  I didn't think cameras this bad were even made any more, it's worse than the quality of digital cameras from 90's.

I mainly bought this Camera for my daughter, figuring it would be better than the child-specific cameras, and would be durable enough that she could drop it.  I occasionally use it myself when we go to the beach, so that sand and water don't ruin my better cameras.  The result is beach photos that are blurry and chunky and washed out.

The camera is also so slow that it makes it very hard for her to use it.  I'm not sure why it's so slow.  I cranked the ISO all the way up, but the exposure times are still very long, so that all her shots wind up blurry.

Your cell phone can take photos that are massively better, and it uses a far smaller lens and electronics package, so there is absolutely no excuse for this garbage.

Yes, the picture quality of this DVD is poor, but much worse, the sound quality is terrible.  I had this production on video tape probably 20 years ago and, if memory serves, it was fine.  But I would advise against this DVD.  What a shame.

Picture is grainy and flickery in the corners, sound quality from the mic is unusable.

Terrible screen. Should have read more into it. Picture quality is bad and viewing angles are like +/- 2.
