Reviewing: Sony Dsc W55
Purchased at: Sony.Com     Price: $279.99 USD

I have owned Sony digital cameras for as long as I can remember.I really like their sleek style and easy handling.

I love the fact that this camera comes in a variety of colors for your personal shooting style.It's easy to understand, easy to use, and so far has presented very little problems.

What I don't like about the DSC-W55 is that it is slow to capture pictures.this results in your subject either blurring, or running out of the frame before the shot is snapped.I found this to be a problem on a previous Sony camera, but I figured that by the time the DSC-W55 came around it would be resolved.I am sad to say I was wrong.

The slow shutter speed is such a problem that this will be the last Sony camera my family will own.

Digital cameras all have shutter lag unless you go to high end ones. Thanks!

We have a Sony and also have problems with it. We want to buy another brand but ours was so expensive that we just can't afford to do so right now.

I also have an older Sony digital camera - I wouldn't trade it for the world! Going on 4 years since we've purchased it and have had NO problems.

I've never had a sony camera before but our last camera also developed slow shutter speed when it got older and the batteries were worn out from years of recharging.

It's always been slow...I just need to go buy a higher end camera I guess.

I have a sony DSC-P8, that I have the same problem with. That and the small viewing screen is my only complaints.

I've also heard from many of my friends that they have the same problem with blurry pictures. It seems to happen after about a year of use. I own a Nikon and my pictures are beautiful everytime.

If you don't mind a couple of questions... What is the Mega Pixels for this model? How long is the battery life - or how long do you feel that the battery lasts (I can get the approx. number of pics off of a site but they are not always accurate in the real world). Thanks!

Scratch the Mega Pixel question! I totally missed it in the subject line! Sorry about that!
