Great Little Camera

This is a super little camera! It is just the right size to fit in your pocket and is light weight. It does not turn on too easy so your battery isn't accidently being used up in your pocket or purse. The only two problems I have experienced with this camera are that the subject must be perfectly still to keep from blurring and I can not see the LCD screen in bright sunlight.
I have noted that in other reviews, the batteries are a complaint; however, I use rechargable batteries and they last a long time. If I am taking a lot of pictures, I just carry two recharged spares--it is much cheaper and less irrating. I would recommend this camera to digital beginners because it is easy to use and understand. I love the 3x optical zoom for weddings and gatherings where you can't get too close to the target.
Another feature of this camera that I really like is the video. It is great for short clips and its size makes is great when you are following action.
This is a super little camera and I think anyone would get their money's worth out of it as it is also inexpensive as digital cameras go. Compared to the Kodak, the Sony wins hands down!
