This is a great camera for the price, especially with the built-in compass and GPS capability. I have no complaint with the camera itself except for the microphone placement which is located where one naturally places fingers to hold the camera.

My complaint is with the lousy documentation. You really have to dig in order to learn how to use the GPS information recorded with each image or movie. I own cameras from Sony’s major competitors, Nikon and Canon, and both companies provide user manuals that are far superior.

I was considering buying this camera for a niece who will by biking through a some fantastic Colorado scenery this summer but I’m having second thoughts now because Sony has made the learning curve so steep for a digital camera novice.

It’s a shame that such a fine instrument is sold with such deplorable documentation.
