I love Sony
Pros: Perfect product for an outstanding price. I will never doubt Sony again.
Cons: None.
The truth is that I have never came across a better deal in my life. My girlfriend told me that she wanted a new camera and I figured that Mother's Day would be a good time to get it as a present for her. So I went to the local Wal-Mart and looked originally at the Casio's because I was told that they were good cameras. In honest truth, the $150 camera's that I looked at were no better than a disposable camera. Then I decided to talk with one of the employees to try to find something a little better. He told me that he actually just got a shipment of a pink Sony camera in a bundle pack edition. So long story short, I compared this Sony to the Casio and needless to say, there was no comparison. My girlfriend loves this camera and takes pictures everyday of her newborn daughter. All in all, a man can really mess up presents on holidays from time to time, but I have to say that I finally got it right this time and she is very happy with her new Sony camera. Good job Sony and I want to thank you for your commitment to your customers and our satisfaction. Good job!!!
