"Fantastic Camera"
Pros: Great Quality, Long Battery Life
Cons: No light for video, an unsteady hand will severly blur images
Summary: I got this camera as a 21st birthday present from my parents. Of course I picked it out. Before it I had a 2.0 Megapixel Canon powershot. The Canon was a great high school grad present, but it took a long time, about 45 seconds between pictures, which was often annoying. It was also just too big to lug around with too small a screen. This Sony 5.1 Megapixel on the other hand is a fabulous camera. Keep in mind I am not any kind of photographer, I take pictures simply to capture memories! Great functionality with a beautiful LCD screen. I have taken thousands of pictures with it, and still do. I take it bars, the beach, Mardi Gras, Bourbon St. you name it. And it never fails! (considering you remember to charge it before use). I bought it online from a Japanese vendor as it wasn't available in the USA at the time. I have even changed the internal settings to take smaller pics as the full 5.1 setting takes massive pictures (the size of music MP3s!) which turn out to be too massive for almost any standard computer monitor. My new 20 inch Monitor can barely fit a pic zoomed at 50%. I am considering a new camera, but am wondering what the size of a 7 or 8 Megapixel pic will look like on a computer! Anyway, I love this little camera a lot. It definitely serves its purpose very well.
