Sony - Cybershot S700 Digital Camera Review

I was lucky enough to get this wonderful camera for only $70 today (day after Thanksgiving) and have been so happy with the results.  It has been awhile since I owned a decent digital camera, so it was wonderful to not be disappointed in price or performance.

The S700 is a 7.2 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and a 2.4 inch LCD.   A stylish metal body makes the camera look and feel like a more expensive one.  The S700 is meant to be an easy to use camera.  This camera is powered by AA batteries. 

The S700  only has a 2.4 inch LCD with 112,320 pixels of resolution.  The colors displayed on the LCD are accurate and the brightness gains up and down depending on the lighting conditions.  It is very difficult to preview images on the display on a bright day.  Refresh rates are good enough to provide a smooth preview of your shot.  Also, the fairly low pixel count leads to a preview that isn't that sharp and it's hard to see details.
