Well, a few pushes of a couple buttons. If you turn on the view pictures mode, then use the zoom lever to zoom all the way out, you get tiny thumbnails. You can select all the photos and delete them.If you are still using a P52 you will be shocked at how much better today's cameras are. Much smaller, much longer battery life, much easier to use, better pictures. There have been several generations of cameras since the P52, each better than the last - and that was a nice camera!

The Sony dSC-w50 does support this feature (which is different from formating the memory stick). You can even create folders of images and delete all the images in a single folder at once.

The W50 allows you to format a memory stick, which deletes all the pictures at once. They don't want to make it as easy as "one push of a button," since it's not reversible. But clearing the memory stick is just a few button pushes away.

The round "rocker switch" on the rear gives options for disabling features. Press the edge (left or right) and you'll see various icons onscreen with the option to disable (...best I recall, pressing left side disables & right side resets?). Play around with that control a bit & you'll see what I mean. The system defaults when you turn the camera off, so you can't screw anything up by "experimenting";-). Hope that helps!

Can I answer? Yes and No. I took time to visit the SONY store (and maybe you did, too.) You are asking just the same type of question I asked myself about this new model of card and my SONY Cybershot DSC W-200. I believe my model is older and less 'fancy' than yours and this new generation of memorystick works for me. However, this is the kind of question you could easily ask of SONY Customer Service in order to get the best answer. Their contact information is given on the site.

The Canon applications that come with the A1000 IS will not delete the photos directly from the SD memory card. The Canon Utilities: CameraWindow DC is the application that is used to transfer images fromt he camera to the computer. It does not have a delete option and the delete key on the keyboard does nothing. When in this program, the buttons on the camera can be used to scroll through the pictures. The Trash Can button on the camera is disabled when in this mode. ZoomBrowser EX program allows you to delete the pictures once they are in the computer however it does not allow you to directly look at the photos on the card. A separate card reader would be a better option. The Canon applications that come with the A1000 IS will not delete the photos directly from the SD memory card.

I don't understand your question, if your asking: Does this camera have time as in how long has it been in the market? : I bought mine like 4 or 5 years ago so it's been a while, (and stopped working properly about 6-7 month after buying it; but looks good as a decor element) or Does this camera have time as if this camera has timestamp? yes it has but can't remember where is in the menu sorry..

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus

Yes, I like the camera very much. I find the menus easy to use and it takes great pictures. I have taken some outdoor shots with a tripod in low light and find the results to be very good for a point and shoot camera. As far as uploads, I don't know. I use Linux on my computers and the utilities are for Windows and I suspect Mac. I pull the pictures from the memory card with a card reader. This Sony support page has manuals for download. You should be able to find the answers there. http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DSCWX300R&template;_id=1&region;_id=1&tab;=manuals#/manualsTab Yes, I like the camera very much.

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.

There is a trash sign on the bottom right of your camera. Click on that and the camera will ask "Are you sure you want to delete this picture?", then click yes. I hope I answered your question.

Myrna, Have you gotten your camera, yet? If so, what do you think of it? This would be my first digital camera, and what attracts me to this is that it has manual controls. I would be learning photography on it, so I figure I should have manual and auto controls. I am looking to get a Panasonic because a sales person at Best Buy raved about them and said they have the best lenses. To be honest, I know practically nothing about photography, but have had an interest in it for many years. Do you think this camera would be a good plact to start, at least digitally? Thanks, M

I would go to Ebay to look at a picture. Even if you look at the new EOS-1D X, the basic look is the same excepting the buttons and re-alignment of dials and buttons. But, the basic body is still very much the same. Better yet, B&H; still has a pic of it because the have one for sale for $649 @ 8+. It was a great camera at the time, but a 5D or later version is a better camera with a full frame sensor which the Mark II N did not have.Yes, I bought mine new from Amazon, at the time.

The Canon SD950 is for my wife, who thinks of a camera as a necessary evil to record memories. I am the opposite -- an advanced amateur (Canon 20D, 99.9% of my images are in RAW only, lots of Photoshop CS3 work, etc.). I would like to see an improved image and an easy to use Point-and-Shoot camera with a few advanced functions that wouldn't confuse my wife. Besides, serious amateurs want a fun camera like the SD series, too! My preferred priorities for the next SD Canon: 1. RAW mode and RAW+JPG mode(s). If Canon is afraid that a user might select RAW without knowing what it is then simply exclude RAW-only mode and/or include a warning when RAW is selected. Although my wife will be taking 90% of the pictures, I might want to process some of the better ones. RAW mode would give me the flexibility to improve quality (especially brightness/contrast and temperature = color). 2. Improved image -- even if it means a larger sensor or fewer pixels. I know that image quality (especially noise in low light, shadows, etc.) is already excellent for a camera of this size and that it won't approach that of my Canon 20D, but it could be improved. 3. Movie mode with optical zoom. [Thanks for the note about LP mode. I wanted it and didn't know that Canon added that feature! Direct mpeg might be great, too.] 4. Any additional controls that would appeal to DSLR users (manual and semi-automatic modes, etc.).

Thank you for the advice. I played with the ISO, MP and color settings a little bit today and got some pictures that came out a little better. Sadly, I am comparing the pictures to my 8 year old Canon S50 and the S50 takes better pictures. Indoor flash pictures are particularly disappointing. It is hard for me to accept this. The reason I want to upgrade the S50 is for the smaller size, wider angle, zoom and HD video. I expect the pictures to be at least as good if not better after so many years.The S95 is a great suggestion. I may look into a Panasonic too. Now back to the search for the S50 successor.

I have not tried that as yet. But if it doesn't have that feature, that would be a poor reason not to purchase the camera. I take crisp clear photos with it every time I use it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else unless Sony came up with a better model.

I gave the camera to a friend. She uses it to take photos of items to sell on eBay and she says it works great. I did not remember a button being on the camera.But I asked her to check for me. She said that nothing happened but she did get a message saying the button only works on "Windows Messenger." I hope that helps.
