  • "Glad I swapped the Sony DSC-t100 for this"

    Pros: Killer screen, great low-light performance, wide angle

    Cons: A bit thick, confusing navigation

    Summary: This camera replaces my Canon SD20 (I've owned two of those). Cnet gave the Sony DSC-100 a slightly higher rating, so I bought one of those for $100 less. Without going into details redundant to other reviews, in my opinion this camera simply outperforms the Sony in what I consider an ultra-compact's most important role -- low-light, no-flash indoor shots. Much less grainy noise, and easier to set the ISO. I still get lost trying to navigate through the features, but in the end I end up with pretty good shots. As others have said, it is pretty plastic-y, but it's what's on the inside that counts.
