Summary: I like the Sony DSC T20. It stands up well against other pocket sized digital cameras. It is likely to prove attractive owing to its looks, ease of use and low shutter delay times. The low shutter delay times mean that you should not miss a picture!

CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Digital cameras. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of digital camera.
Image stabilization (Anti-shake)
When using handheld cameras at slow shutter speeds, or with high optical zoom, image stabilization (aka anti-shake) will help with capturing sharper images. There are two types of image stabilization, optical and electronic. Electronic, or digital, stabilization works by shifting pixels within the image frame to interpolate sharpness. Optical sharpness is attained by physical movement within either the camera body or the lens element, which compensates for handheld shaking. Of the two, optical is generally considered more favorable by most photographers.

Snapshooter
The casual photographer needs a camera that is easy to carry and easy to use, so compact and ultracompact cameras make the best choice. These digital cameras are the most useful for taking snapshots anywhere, and can produce nice photos for email, web, or prints smaller than 8x10 inches.
