Title: Died before 2 years with lite use < 300 pictures
Review: I won't argue with the quality of the pictures, but this camera is rigged to die. Expensive to repair or replace. Mine went just like Shelley. The shutter motor will not fully open the shutter. The camera is useless for taking pictures. Repair will be (according to the SONY web site) at least $171 + Shipping or more. As my warranty is dead I took the liberty of removing the back of the camera. Why do I say rigged to die? The circuitry on the back of the cammera is supported by 2 watch type batteries. These are permanently attached to the thin layer circuity connected to the LCD screen and other controls. When these batteries go there is no way to replace them without replacing the entire LCD panel. A pretty cheap way to ensure cash flow for SONY. This is only economical if your budget can afford a new camera every two years or less.
