I've had 4 of these cameras now - two have died in action (one in the sea, one in the desert), two are still going strong. It's a good compact camera, and gives a decent result, despite not having anywhere near the current number of pixels in the CCD. Some of these can suffer from blurred light/dark edges, so take a pic before buying. The battery life was always a problem (Sony recalled the unit long after it was out of guarantee), so turning off the LCD will help a lot on longer trips. The functions on the camera look quite dated compared to today's units, and the video recording is quite limited (5, 10 or 15 secs in a quite inefficient mpeg format creating large files for what they are), but for the price you can get one now, it's not bad. I'll be honest I'm only really sticking with mine as I have an underwater housing for it, but it's one of the original cameras that launched today's popular digital revolution.

Protection at the cost of colour and brightness.
Terrible - it takes the best feature of the mac (bright, clear retina display) and makes it have a yellow and blue tiger-stripe pattern on it. Clearly has some optical issues. May well protect the screen, but I'm not sure there's much point if it means the screen looks dark and miscoloured. Attached image is of a plain white screen - and it looks a LOT worse in person.

If you love your Canon 50mm F1.8, get one of these.
This lens was a natural progression from my previous large aperture lens, a Canon EF 50mm F1.8, which was bought on a whim and transformed what I was doing with the camera. The only downside is that being 50mm focal length it meant there was sometimes just too much distance needed for certain situations - in a "reportage" style it's hard sometimes to get the right framing with it.
The 30mm F1.4 Sigma looked the perfect solution for this problem, and it's proved to be that and more - it does everything the Canon 50mm F1.8 did, but without the distance issue. The F1.4 aperture means you can have even more extreme depth of field, and of course the Sigma is better built than the "toy" build of the Canon (but costs way more, so that's to be expected), plus it's a lot quieter in AF. The lens is well built, works well in practice, and I've found the images to be just as sharp as the Canon, and it's meant more creative avenues are opened up, getting shallow DoF in reportage style situations is a revelation. Recommended.
