Product Description
It's no ordinary entry-level camera and with superb 6.0 megapixel performance, Carl Zeiss 3x Optical zoom, wide-angle shooting and high sensitivity, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 is a great value. Powerful and affordable, the DSC-S600 has strong flash, 2.0

It WAS good........2007-08-01
This camera was fantastic for about a year, with the large lcd screen and excellent picture quality. Buy it. However, it broke, for once it wasn't my fault, it just broke- won't turn on, and if it does it turns itself off whenever you take a picture. The customer service is quite appalling, and I can't send it for repair. grrr.
Great Camera.......2007-03-25
I bought this camera 3 weeks ago after reading a Which magagazine report scoring it very highly. I have taken around 200 photos so far and a couple of movies to just test the feature. I have to say if I had read the reviews on here i probably would never of bought it, but I have had no problems at all with it (touch wood). The batteries you get with it do not last very long, but the set I have in it since (budget batteries £1 for 24) have still plenty of life in them. The quality is superb and the flash excellent, the movie quality is fine in reasonably lit places (your hardly going to get good quality in the dark without a torch strapped to the damn thing!). I know people have had problems clearly stated in the other reviews, but having spent days reading reviews for various products to see if they are any good I doubt I would ever buy anything as it seems everything has had problems for some people.
Great quality shots; shame about the battery life.......2007-02-13
Got this camera for my mum for Christmas as it seemed to be chunky enough to be easy to use and it's a pretty good price for the camera's spec. Unfortunately I didn't consider how woefully inadequate AA batteries are for powering a digital camera [...]
The camera is also not quite as useable as I expected, with a relatively limited range of image settings. Taking movies in anything other than daylight conditions produces very disappointing results [...]All that said, the quality of the actual photos is fantastic. Which I suppose is the point really. Still, I'd go for something with more adjustable settings and a dedicated lithium ion battery [...].
Great camera - Sony don't repair faults though!.......2007-02-03
When I was bought this camera I thought it was excellent. However, six months down the line it keeps switching itself off (I use rechargeable batteries already) and the video filming has gone rapidly downhill. Sony Central Service have been a million miles from helpful, and then try to charge me £30 to return the still faulty camera to me. My advice? Find a similar camera from a company that actually offer some customer service.
Battery issues.......2007-01-20
For people with battery problems, I own a cybershot which was given to me after a relative discarded it for this reason. The trick is to buy some rechargeable batteries - they last longer than normal ones, and obviously can then be recharged! I used mine on a recent round the world trip and found it to be more than adequate with decent rechargeable batteries in it.

Customer Reviews:
ATRAC abandoned by Sony leaving customers in the lurch.......2007-12-15
This player has good sound for both downloaded tunes and radio and the best battery life of any player I have owned - about 30 hours or more of listening.
But now Sony are abandoning their proprietary ATRAC format. People with this player can put MP3 files onto it, but only by using the clunky Sony Sonic Stage software. Sony's answer to people with libraries of ATRAC format downloads is "put them onto a CD". I can also attest to the inconvenience of trying to use Sonic Stage with my Walkman after changing to a new computer - I had to email Sony to get the system unlocked and working again - though to their credit they were quite helpful.
The player is incompatible with Windows Media Player.
I originally rated this as 5 stars have downrated to two stars following Sony's thoughtless treatment of their customers.
But don't use it in the Gym !!!.......2007-04-30
I bought this while on holiday in Hawaii ... thinking that I'll never need to take it back. But less than a year later and it's dead. The reason appears to be that I used it in the gym and it's not waterproof. So it filled up with sweat (yuk!)
Who knew that you couldn't use a portable mp3 player in the gym.
I have now bought a new 700 series model with the much better headphones, although I haven't dared use this in the gym yet. Will probably purchase a docking station (CPF-NW001) for the gym, rather than risk another one dying. This one has a three year warranty though from a local shop !!
The best MP3 in the world.......2007-03-04
I have had this MP3 for a year and don't think that i have gone a week without listening to it. The sound quality is unreal, I have an iron maiden live cd on this MP3 and it just feels like you're there in the crowd. The fm radio is handy to have, but i rarely use it. The 1 GB memory is a bit of a downside but i don't think anyone would listen to more than 200 tracks that they like. There is a large range of displays to chose from which you can easly change at a touch of a button. The software that is provided by sony to upload music on the MP3 is okay. That just about covers this MP3.
BUY THIS MP3!!!!
Cuts the mustard - sound and style.......2006-09-09
I wanted decent sound, long battery life as I use this when I go away sailing - and decent VHF radio would be a plus. I researched this thoroughly and decided on the NW E507. Plenty of the reviews suggested that this was a good player but over priced. But the prices are dropping out of sight and I eventually found one at under £70.
I haven't been disappointed. I was geared for clunky sonic stage and having downloaded version 4 found this much less bad than I had expected.
I listen to classical music ranging from Bach and earlier though to Britten and later. I replaced the boxed headphones with Sennheiser MX500s. With these, the sound is splendid.
What came as a great surprise is the quality of the VHF radio - sound and reception - unexpectedly good. Much, much better than the small portable radios that have accompanied me in the past.
Yes, it's only got 1 GB memory but I am gradually down loading my collection onto my PC - and changing my selection from time to time is painless. In any event, I don't really want to have to scroll through everything I own whn making choices. Fir me, 40 or so CDs ia quite enough at anyone time.
The battery life (40 hours) appears to be as claimed.
It looks fabulous and is really tiny. I am well pleased and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't need to have their whole collection with them at all times.
More like a portable Radio.......2006-08-16
Be very careful with this 'Walkman'. The Software you HAVE to use with this player is the worst i have ever some experienced (if you can get it to even work!) I have a creative labs mp3 player with is perfect to use, drag and drop tracks straight onto the player but no Sony have to difficult with their own players. Believe the lower ratings on other reviews the software used to convert MP3's to be compatible is a nightmare, i've tried to think of something positive to say but there isn't any.
The only good think about this player is that it looks and feels like a state of the art piece of kit and it is massively let down by software Sony supply. (reminds me of Starforce protection.....) Nice radio quality though but its very expensive to be used as a portable radio.
Take my advice and the other reviewers with similar stories and avoid this player.
