What owners like
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2100 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch CCD and 26-130mm equivalent, 5x optical zoom are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
