5 Stars a dependable easy to use camera
My wife and I have been using this camera for about three months now. We have used it outdoors and indoors on still subjects and those in motion. It has performed flawlessly. By using the different modes such as indoor,kids and pets, etc. you can take great perfectly exposed pictures. For example, by using the indoor mode, we rarely use the flash, and the pictures turn out much brighter than if we had. I believe this prolongs battery life as well as avoids the slight delay after the flash is used. Ths controls are easy to use and understand. Yes, it is not the slimmest lightest camera made, but those chracteristics are not important to us. Features such as the incredible optical zoom, face recognition,the use of AA batteries and others are what is important to us and what led us to buy this camera instead of others that are currently on the market.

4 Stars Miss the viewfinder; like the screen size
I bought this to replace a Powershot A720 IS. This is a little heavier but the big screen is nice. However, not having a viewfinder is a problem at times in terrifically bright sunshine. As always, I resent having to go online for manuals–the A720 complete manual was included and thus could be easily carried with me if I needed a reference. No longer is this done.

5 Stars Digital Camera
This is our first digital camera. It came quickly and in perfect condition. I am still learning how to use it, but my photojournalist daughter pronounced it “a really terrific little camera.”

4 Stars Very Good, but needs a viewfinder.
This camera is a good value. It is light and compact, takes great pictures and videos, and is easy to operate. If it had a viewfinder, it would be great. But, having to use the 3″ LCD display as a viewfinder is very awkward when using it in sunlight. In sunlight it can be almost impossible to see anything on the LCD display. I like the camera, but this is a major drawback.

3 Stars good camera… for the money
I have only tried this 1 day so I am taking it back and trying a different one. I already had the s5is and loved it but I thought having a smaller camera was what I wanted. It just doesn’t take as good a picture and it is slow. I want a good zoom smaller body and a NMHi battery. The sony w150 I have takes better clearer pictures at dusk and mid afternoon. and the canon S5is takes better in the daylight and indoors.The sx120is is a good camera if you only want one camera and want it kinda small and I do like the lens cover better than a cap. also you can see the screen ok in the sun but the color is not really correct. It maybe true that cameras should not go above 8mp as well because I have had better luck with clarity on the 8mp and lower cameras.

5 Stars Reliable name and battery
Work very nice, and survive for a good period of time with my camera in standby and shooting modes … planning to purchase another set soon.

1 Star Useless – really disappointed.
We purchased these batteries with the charger confident in the name brand and the customer reviews. What a joke. The batteries lack the needed voltage (even fully charged) to run ANY of our devices. Regular AA batteries are 1.5 volts, these are 1.2 volts. They don’t have enough power to run our Flip video camera, Vtech children’s camera, or any of my sons baby toys…they are basically useless to us. We have yet to find a single device that these will run. VERY DISAPPOINTED…I’ve never been so disgusted in a SONY product.

WARNING TO ALL RECHARGABLE BATTERY BUYERS – CHECK THE VOLAGE OF THE BATTERY YOU PURCHASE OR YOU MAY BE STUCK WITH USELESS BATTERIES AS WELL. Not even the Eneloop batteries are “strong” enough – they too are 1.2 volt. Until rechargables are the same voltage as disposable – I guess I am stuck with being wasteful in order to run my battery-operated devices.

5 Stars Great Rechargeables
As far as I’m concerned the only rechargeables that come close to these are the Powerex ones. These hold their charge both in the device and in storage for several weeks, where the Duracell and Energizer ones are useless if not straight from the charger. With these I can put them in the camera and come back after several weeks and still get a few hundred shots before I need to change them.

I don’t plan on wasting any more money on either the Duracell or Energizer ones.

1 Star Bad battery or bad seller?
I bought two packs of this batteries and found one is OK while another pack was unable to be charged. I therefore asked the seller-Adorama Camera may I return or exchange this defective pack. They replied “Unfortunately, batteries cannot be returned once removed from the blisterpack.” I have to ask again “To the batteries, how do you know it is bad or good without removing the blisterpack for using/testing? Do you have any other smarter ways?”. They reply again “Unfortunately, we do not take this item back once its removed from its blister pack. Once you removed the item from the blister pack and you found out it was defective you would have been advised to contact the manufacturer.” I have no comments anymore but I know I will not buy anything from this seller for ever.

4 Stars good
Bought more batteries for sony camera (already had a couple sony rechargeables) — these work just as well. Recharge in the sony battery recharger. No complaints.
