Hello. Can you take single pictures with this camera? I'd like to be able to take pics with it to upload to ebay.

Yes you can. I can taken pictures of documents I wanted to email to parents/students. It does not have a flash on this version, so you will need a good light source.

Yes. I normally take pictures of lecture notes and send them to my students.

Yes. For instance in order to scan a book you take a single picture of each page of the book. You will see what the camera is looking at, on the screen. When the focus and the brightness is right you just hit the Enter key. All the images go to the same place. My computer is set up to send the images to "D:\Documents and Settings\PC\My Documents\My Pictures\Presenter".

Yes you can. However I returned the one I bought as the edges were out of focus. Maybe I just got a defective one... I don't know!

Yes, you can use it the same way you would any webcam. It's essentially just a webcam on a pivoting arm.

With this Sony model you cannot take a still photo while shooting video. On some previous models you could. Sony took that feature away on this one - and I was unhappy to find that out (after I bought the camera)

I have not tried that as yet. But if it doesn't have that feature, that would be a poor reason not to purchase the camera. I take crisp clear photos with it every time I use it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else unless Sony came up with a better model.

I have not actually not used this camera for a long time. I couldn't really tell you. I still have it & liked it just have not had reason to use it for some time now. I would actually need to play with it a bit now just to get used to it again myself. Sorry can't really help.

Well, it's just the size of the sensor troubles me. What kind of picture is this going to take at even a 400 ISO? Nevermind 800 or higher.I just wonder if it's worth getting a camera this big when the sx200IS can be had for almost half the price, it's way easier to carry, and when you add the chdk firmware, will be almost as functional.I suppose if this were to be your only camera, but personally, I'd like to see what they do with the Rebel, either later this year or next. Or if I have a "rich uncle die", buy the 5D Mark II ;-)

I am sorry, Chas, but this camera was a gift to my son. I never used it. Unlike me, he can really take advantage of all the features of the camera and he really loves it! It was a good buy indeed.

Are we talking about the same camera. Mine has been dropped twice, first by my 2 year old who got a hold of it and on Thanksgiving by me (trying to do too many things) and the first time I had to send it in and it's broken again. It has horrible lag time and I rarely get the shot I was looking for. Unfortunetly this was my "big" present last year for Christmas and I can't really ask for another one. If you have kids this is not your camera.

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

I also have a Canon and am not impressed with it. I just purchased the Sony W170 because I have a family member who used at Christmas. I was impressed with the size and ease of use. I will have to replace all my memory cards and batteries. I am not too upset about the batteries as my Canon Sureshot took about 5 pictures and died. I even bought an extra battery, same thing. I am excited about getting the camera. Should arrive by Jan 6th.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.

I don't know as I haven't had time to try that feature yet but I would contact someone like B& H photo who also sells them and ask as they sell cameras as well and have extensive knowledge on the subject. Sorry My best answer

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I am not selling this camera, I just did a review of it since I own one...great camera though

I can with mine. You have the option to take pictures or videos with it. Sorry im a little late getting back to you, but I haven't checked my email in a week or so.

You can use it right out of the box. You may want to buy a larger memory card for heavy use (I did not need one while skiing). But, everything need is in the box. By the way, I am quite happy with my camera.

This camera will take a burst of pictures if desired. However in just taking single pictures there is hardly any delay. Having a quality SD card helps as the pictures are saved to the card more quickly allowing the camera to be ready again.

Faye, This is an amazing camera, but small and used recreationally by my husband. I can't honestly answer your question but would suggest finding it locally and checking it out in person first. Denise
