Great! Super Digital Camera
Great camera. I have never had something like it. All I can say is amazing. The picture quality is awesame. I can capture just like I see with my own eyes, even in the dark place. This sounds so simple but not many manufacture have successfully done it. Thank you Sony!! I'm totally satisfying.
Pros:
- Compact Design
- Easy To Use
- Improves Picture Quality
- Interfaces Well With Camcorder

a good lens for travel of daytime
I bought this lens almost 1 month ago. This zoom lens is sharp enough. Its optical result is over its price. A real good lens, with camera daily. But the aperture is a little low.

Overall, I like this lens. It is well built with a nice, machined type feel to it's metal surface. It zooms in and out smoothly and accurately. Seems to take nice photos with sharp, accurate colors.
Pros:
- Machined Alloy Feel.
Cons:
- Plenty of barrel distortion and pincushioning at each end of lens

Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens
The Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens ($219.99 direct) is the standard zoom lens that is bundled with Sony D-SLR cameras . In that context it's not that bad of a lens-you're either paying nothing for it, or a $100 premium over a body-only price-but on its own there aren't any compelling reasons to...
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Internal focus motor
Cons:
- Soft images
- Distortion
- Rotating front element.

REVIEW: Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens Review
This 3x zoom lens is the one normally bundled as part of a kit with Sony NEX cameras. As a result, it's normally pretty cheap to pick up separately, costing only £140. For that you get a compact lens with optical stabilisation. In this review, we'll take a look at how it performs.

Sony isn't the first manufacturer to talk about making a large-sensor mirrorless camera for compact users but it is the first to actually follow the thinking through with a system designed from ground up for the 'point and shoot' crowd.
Pros:
- Small
- innovative designs that are still comfortable to hold
- High resolution sensor with excellent High ISO performance (in PASM modes
- Good JPEG output quality
- Great build quality (particularly NEX-5
- Metal barrelled lenses feel impressive compared to peers
- Tiltable high-resolution screen,...
Cons:
- High ISO capability (a major advantage of its large sensor) unavailable in iAuto mode
- Constant overexposure of images wastes highlight capabilities (and no exposure compensation to correct it in iAuto mode
- Consumes battery quickly if you use the screen a lot between shots
- Poor shot-to-shot times...

Poor Sharpness
I use this lenses with my NEX 5N camera and have been somewhat disappointed with it's performance. Most of the photos with this lens lack clarity and sharpness throughout the photo. I do a lot of landscape and cityscape so many of my photos are at infinity focal length.
Pros:
- Small & light weight
Cons:
- poor sharpness & barrel distortion

Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DT SAM SAL-1855 review by infocus
This is an A-mount DT lens (DSLR APS-C format), quite different from the somewhat inferior E-mount variety with built-in IS. IS-lenses will probably, regardless of manufacturer, tend to have a negative effect on image quality!
Pros:
- Quite decent performance
- very inexpensive as a kit lens
Cons:
- non really at this price point

Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS (Sony NEX) - Review / Re-Test
The AF performance is pretty good for a contrast detection system (albeit highly dependent on the base camera). AF operations are basically noiseless. Manual focusing works "by wire" so the focus ring is not directly coupled to the focus gears but to the AF motor.
