Owned it for a month... VERY GOOD camera...
tried it on day, night, clubs, bars, almost every where I go (except the pool) LOOOVE IT!!

excellent picture quality, sharp, fast.. exactly how I wanted

It is light, small for this quality of a camera

Its easy to carry in bag or jacket pockets and the lightest in this class (compare to Nikon 5400 & G5 - at least to me)

Problems:

*Zoom is still not good enough for me...
*no night framing in Manual, Apertiture, Shutter & Scene modes (dunno if other sony cam have it.. just in those modes night framiing would be interesting)
*Batteries run out fast (85 minutes... too short for me)
*Accessories are WAAY to expensive
*Handling is kinda have to get used to because of the pop-up flash on the left side, so I have to support it on the bottom/ I cannot bracket it with my left hands or else I will keep the flash down
*right handles with my hands do block the view finder a little
*Flash is too strong for people.. so how it is pointed directly into the objects too much.. people tend to squint their eyes in very dark conditions (such as pubs, nightclubs, or out in the woods @ night) But the picture came out great! (which means I need to buy the H32X flash so I can bounce the flash up instead of pointing at people)

*Auto White balance - sometimes I got it... even the flash came on... they look under exposed very rarely thought... it tends to happen when taking a lot of flash photo... (dunno if this is the AWB problem or my flash)
