This is my second Cybershot.I have both the DSCW50 and DSCW55.The main problem of this particular model is the flash.Code 99 which is defective flash.Luckily on my first camera (DSCW50)the flash broke w/in the year of purchase,so it was fix free.But the second on (DSCW55)broke after 13 months.They were charging me $175.00 just to look at the camera.My older camera w/c is the Canon powershot A85 is still working.So I decided to switch back to Canon
