worth the price

The trade: you lose some premium features, but you don't end up with a premium price. Ok, I'm tired of seeing poor ratings on the DC3500. I bought two (since their price isn't exactly astronomical, folks...) and gave one to a friend, who, may I add, is very hard on *his/her* electronics. I mean, *his/her* cell phone gets "placed" all over the office, and *his/her* keyboard becomes airborn at least twice a day. Cutting to the chase, neither my friend, nor myself have had any troubles with our DC3500s. Actually, the picture quality (thanks to Sony's CCD Aspherical Lens) is amazing, and honestly, I still have yet to find a better deal when looking for an inexpensive, but worthwhile beginner's digicam. I mean, for about $75, tell me where are you gonna find another 2.1 MP digital camera?
