Going back to Amazon
This is a product with so much potential, I hate to give it a poor review. The truth is, they pushed it out the door before it was ready. It has so many compromises as to render it frustrating in actual use, in ways you probably would not notice while playing with it in a store.
Examples: Assuming you are in interlaced mode then you can take a still in the middle of recording a video. Nice (although for some reason you can't do that if set to highest-quality progressive mode; I'll give Sony the benefit of the doubt and assume there's a technical reason why not). Naturally, you can take a still photo while in "video" mode but not actually shooting video. But maddenly, if you are in still mode but just hanging out, you cannot record a video. Obviously the camera is capable, because you can make several selections and get there. It's a bug.

Perfect for shooting videos of children
Pros (select feature I consider important and very handy):
- Super light and compact for carrying in pocket when going to the park, pool, etc.
- Very short lag between flipping the screen and taking videos
- Can change Exposure, White Balance and Scene on the fly even while recording
- Extremely sensitive in dark situations - I videotape my children indoors quite often and notice a significant difference between this and the

- I wish I could anchor the Screen Brightness setting on the screen's "favorites" section, and that it had a super-bright setting too (still pretty
good under very bright sun)
Just remember, there's no perfect camera; just...
