I have owned this camera for about 3 weeks absolutely love it. Beautiful design, innovative technology, and very good quality shots. I am a seasoned photographer and have many D-SLR's and wanted an all purpose pocket camera and this has surpassed my expectations and honestly believe anyone who is knocking this camera's integrity really doesn't know anything about photography, or purchased a bootleg version of it (which is what i presume the one reviewer below did...'overseas version'?) I used to own a Sony T1, the original sliding front pocket camera and was pretty disappointed with that one, so i'm not really Sony loyal, but this camera is a complete 180 from that one and I absolutely love it. True, it's not that different from the T-70 or T-200, but its quirky features and retro design make it far more unique and likeable as a pocket-camera. Smile-detection system is great! Highly recommend this camera.
