I absolutely love this camera. The pictures are of really good quality and its super easy to download them to my computer.
OK camera when it worked.

This was a decent point and shoot camera when it worked. I took very good care of this camera. I did not drop it or damage it in any way. After 9 month's the LCD screen stopped working. This forced me to take several photos of the same pose/scene in the hopes of maybe taking a good picture of it. A couple of weeks after the 1 year warranty ran out, all of the pictures i took were fractured and blurred, forcing me to purchase a new camera. Like i said, when it did work, it took good pictures. But the quality of the hardware left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not buy another Sony camera again.
Okay camera. 2008-06-14
This camera is okay. It can zoom in for pictures a lot. About 14x i think. Because its on smart zoom. It can take fine pictures, but video quality isn't as good. I love it though it's kind of small and fits in your pocket.
very happy

I am a first time user of digital cameras and this product is very user friendly. I wanted something simple to use. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a digital camera with the higher quality and user friendly features.

The DSC-S700 camera features 7.2-megapixel imager and shines in classic silver. This model houses a 2.4-inch LCD wrapped in a metal body. The camera features 3x optical zoom capability, blur-reduction technology (ISO), and substantial internal memory for shooting without a media card. Its storage capacity can be expanded further with optional 4 GB Duo media card.
Extremely frustrated with this camera... 
2008-04-06
To say I'm disappointed with this camera is a complete understatement. I got this camera for Christmas, and upon my first use was not satisfied with the pictures, but thought it was just a matter of reading the instruction manual and adjusting the settings. I read all of the reviews on here as well as other sites and followed suggestions re: the camera settings, and nothing works. My photos turn out extremely blurry and/or grainy; the color is really off (weird orange-y hue, despite experimenting with the color settings on the camera menu); the flash is too bright for nighttime indoor shots, which are the majority of my photos, even though I decreased the flash brightness. Without fail, if I ask someone else to take the picture, it turns out blurry... the only reason maybe half of the ones I take personally don't turn out blurry is because I literally stop breathing as I push the button knowing that I have to be as still as death in order to get a somewhat precise shot. Sometimes the picture looks like it is fine when reviewing it on the camera's LCD screen, but then when I upload it to my computer it is awful. I'm so frustrated with this camera as I feel I've lost out on some great memories because it is a terrible product. At this point, I doubt we can return it, so it has been a complete waste of our time and money. I definitely would never recommend this camera to anyone.
Sure NO NO for families with kids! 2008-03-30
We got this camera a month before bcos it looked a very good bargain for its features versus its price. Good things about the camera are its sleek design, battery life and decent pricing. However, the image stabilization is very bad, and almost 50% of the pictures go blur. We have a 18mon old, and mainly wanted to use this as the camera to click his pictures. We have lost a lot of wonderful moments due to the bad image stabilization of this camera. The focus and the click - both on the same button - are highly confusing... it has blurred pictures by changing focus on the subject during clicking. Many pictures also have green-brown dots on them, which are very visible when the images are downloaded.
May be this camera is suitable for stagnant subjects to be clicked. But for families who want to click pics of kids - this is a sure NO NO!
Good Camera - great value 2008-03-26
I am a big fan of Sony and have a n SLR and a Cybershot of my own.
I bought this one for my husband and he loves how he can fit it in his pocket and take it to all the concerts he attends.
You cannot go wrong with Sony.
OK-but could be better-Be prepared for blurry pictures here and there! 
2008-03-17
I purchased this camera 3 weeks ago. Overall, I rate it as just ok. Here are the pros:
-easey to use
-takes AA batteries, which you can find anywhere as opposed to having to charge the camera ( which I most likely will forget to do!)
-slim classy look, can fit in a pocket
-nice sized LCD panel
-Movies from the camera came out very nice :), although you have to hook camera to tv or download movie to computer to view. Cannot view on the camera itself ( at least I couldn't)
Now the cons:
-Picture quality is inconsistent. When pictures are printed, you can see shadows around objects in the pictures, strange colors ( green) and some noise
-File sizes are HUGE , depending on setting. Right now, I am using 3.1, the pictures are over 1 MB each. Have not experimented with the other settings yet.
-NO IMAGE STABILIZATION-THIS IS A BAD THING! I am occassionally frustrated because some of the pictures ocme out blurry, or I have to take pictures over and over. The "vibration icon" comes on to the screen many times. My advice would be to get a larger memory stick and be prepared to take at least 4-5 pictures in a row so you can get at least one good shot hopefully --Oh, and a VERY patient subject to be photographed will definitely help.
I researched for quite a while before purchasing this, and the price was definetly good for the ease of use. But if I could, I would take it back and buy something else that had image stabilization, cause this is the main thing I don't like about the camers. Loved being able to use the AA batteries. Battery life seems to be ok, no complaints here-but I keep spare ones in the case.
ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING: If you take the memory card out and take it to the drugstore to one of those self-print photo kiosks, PLEASE NOTE that the pro duo media will not fit the the slot that says " memory stick" because it is too small ( especially those at Walgreens and Walmart) It may fit in a Kodak Kiosk, cause they have a small slot. make sure that you have a SONY ADAPTER when you go to print your pictures, or it will be a pain. I made the mistake of not doing this, and stuck my card into the memory slot only to find that I had the most difficult time at getting it out of there, and the store was closing at the time. I finally fished it out with a cardboard. Save yourself the frustration and buy an adapter ( you can buy them separate right here on Amazon or it comes free with the Sony brand only of memory sticks).
