Camera feels really cheap, has a cheap build quality to it. Very lightweight. I find it excessively slow to start up, compared it to my 4.5 year old Sony DSC-P200, which fires up instantly by comparison. No optical viewfinder REALLY hurts when you’re photographing a backlit subject, or outside in bright sunlight. Flash is anemic, indoor shots with flash had to switch to high-ISO mode to get an acceptable picture. Flash setting does not stick across photo modes. (Set flash to off for Auto mode, change to High ISO and flash reverts to auto.) Pictures look very grainy, even on auto, not High-ISO. Can’t seem to set preview-after-photo timeout. (would like to turn it off. Trying to take another quick photo is annoying when the previous photo is still showing and won’t go away!) Overall, I’d avoid this camera and spend more for a better quality Sony.

Bad out of the box.
Going back to the store.
Won’t boot up after charging for 18hrs.

Possibly firmware or a bad battery or charging system??
