Considering that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P71 is an older camera, it's definitely got its advantages. My favorite thing about this camera, being pretty klutzy at times, is that it is extremely solidly built; I've accidentally dropped the camera from a few feet up onto an uncarpeted floor on multiple occasions, and that has never affected its functionality. The built-in flash is sufficient for most situations in which you'd be taking a snapshot, though it does fall short in some extremely dark environments. There is also about a 1-second delay between when you press the button and when the photo is actually captured, which can be a hindrance. If you're generally carrying around a bag full of stuff, the weight isn't very noticeable; however, it can be a bit heavy for carrying around in a purse or the like. Considering, again, that this is an older camera, you can probably pick up a used DSC-P71 on the cheap and it's definitely a good value for what you'd pay. Just be aware that it can be difficult to find early generation memory sticks. The attached photos were taken with the camera reviewed here.
