Ahhhhh!!!

OK...I officially HATE my camera.

I saved up my money and got myself a brand new Sony CyberShot (7.2). I was sooooo excited to finally get a new camera.

And I hate it.

Evidently, I got the wrong CyberShot. I didn't realize there were different kinds of CyberShots--I figured a CyberShot is a CyberShot is a CyberShot. It isn't.

The kind I got is for stills. VERY STILL STILLS...with lots of light.

I have children.

Anyone see the problem here?

ANY kind of movement produces a blurry picture...I have nothing but blurry pictures. If it isn't bright sunshine, I get dark pictures. Thank goodness for Photoshop.

Between the camcorder breaking down and this ricken smacken camera I haven't had a good picture of the children since Christmas. It's very frustrating.

Someone please point me in the right direction (for under $200.00). And make sure you list the model...evidently I need help in that area. ;)

So sorry to hear it Celeste. We bought a cybershot back in 2003, and loved it. If I'm the one who suggested it, I'm sorry. Can you take it back? Is there a different setting that might work better? You've probably tried everything. How frustrating.

LOL...several people suggested it and then I checked it out on CR and they liked it too.

Silly me...I didn't check out model number when people suggested it and I just grabbed when I saw it on sale.

I have since had a photo affectionato explain to me that the problem is the shutter speed (veeeerrrryyy slow) on the model I have. Too bad I can't change that part.

sigh.
