To start out I found this camera and its the best money Ive never spent!  I had a 8.0MP Olympus that before this and I have to say this Sony blows it out of the water even though it has less megapixels.  It takes crisp clean pictures.  Unless you are a professional photographer you dont need anything more than this. 

Shutter speed has always been my pet peeve with digital cameras.  I normally miss the shot I want because it takes cameras too long to process the picture.  But not this Sony.  You press the button and when you look at the picture its actually what you meant to take.  I really like the burst setting where it allows you to take pictures in a row with releasing the button.  I used it to take pictures of the Discovery Launch on 22 Mar 09.

This camera also has a lot of options for modifying how it takes a picture.  To me it has way more than all the other bottom line digital cameras.

The only part I dont like about it is that you have to remove the battery to charge it.  But since I found it I had to buy a charger anyways so I bought one that converts to a car charger.

This is one I've been considering but I want high pixels with a strong zoom. Nice review!

Good idea! I'll remember when I get my camera. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for sharing! I always buy 2 batteries for my cameras now just so I can swap them out and never miss a photo :)
