I was looking for a camera for my mom (her first digital!) and since I am familiar with Sony Cybershot I decided to get her this one. I agree this is an excellent choice for people who are not very fond of technology, very user-friendly and the screen has a pretty good size.

As those who have read my recent reviews will know, I have a lot of experience in photography and have used and owned a great many digital cameras. I have to say that I do like the digital camera revolution.

terrible Problems: POOR IMAGE QUALITY!

After reading countless good reviews about the Sony DSC-730 and owning a very good Sony Camcorder, i decided to buy it. Camera looked good, simple to use but after 20 or so pictures and a couple of short videos, batteries ran out. Replaced and same again. 60 pictures - 3 sets of batteries!!
