SONY CYBER-SHOT DH-I STEADY SHOT

I am not a professional photographer, nor was I worried about all the technical aspects of the camera. I just wanted a great camera to capture my photos without much difficulty.
I bought the DH-1 one week before going to Sedona, AZ. The manual is not very informative so I just played with the camera until I figured it out.
The photos were astounding - and I didn't even know what I was doing!!! The 12X is incredible. The macro is incredible. In the 3 years I've had the camera many people ask if I am a professional due to the shots I capture.
It is still performing as well as the day I bought it - even after my husband dropped it on the rocks at the grand canyon!
I use it to take all my eBay photos and could not ask for a better camera all around.
Some of the technical features of the camera still elude me and I wish there was a course for us non-professionals to take. But my camera is constantly teaching me things so we are working it out.
The camera holds 2 AA batteries and I love that you can use EITHER rechargable or regular batteries! I would highly recommend you use the Lithium batteries. I found the rechargable batteries run down too quickly.
