Summary: Great camera
Review: This is a great camera. If you do buy one, you might as well invest in a larger memory stick. It will only hold one pick at max resolution. However what most people dont know, is that you can take a picture at 2048x1536 and then resize it to a smaller size like 640x480. This keeps the higher resolution in the image, but just makes it smaller in sheer physical size. Also, it takes good and lengthy Mpeg clips. Of course it's not a digital camcorder, but does a very good job. One feature i find very handy is that you can photograph documents with its built in document option. I don't have a scanner, but have done this with several documents, and have got very good results. The macro mode is great, i have taken pictures at 5" with great results. The camera is also very small and light weight. A super deal sony has going on right now is a (...)rebate if you also buy memory stick. Plus they will give arebate for registering the camera online. Rebates equal cool.

Summary: The perfect pocket camera
Review: With the Sony CyberShot, you'll notice a strange thing - you'll take more pictures. Even though I have a great Canon Elan 35mm, I end up using my CyberShot more frequently due to its size (it fits in my pocket) and because its digital (it holds more photos and you can erase your mistakes). Whereas I once only took my 35mm on major trips or events, I end up taking my CyberShot everywhere with me. Operating the camera is intuitive including easy to navigate menus on the LCD screen. When viewing pictures on the camera, you can zoom in and out to get a better sense of how they'll look. The Sony has a great recovery rate as well - some cameras require a 7 sec wait between pictures as it stores the previous one. The Sony has been under 3 secs for me most of the time. Finally, you can use the included cables to plug your camera into a television to view your pictures through a slide show mode. One feature that I'm surprised I use so often is the ability to record short MPEG movies. You'll be amazed how often you'll use this just to record a short greeting or capture a fun moment. The quality isn't great, but it is good enough to share with friends via email. My only recommendation would be to go ahead and invest in a larger memory stick. I have a 128 meg stick and it can store over one hundred pics plus a couple seconds of video. You'll never have to worry about running out of memory. This is a great camera - one you'll use more often than you think. You'll love the ease of use, the great picture quality, and some of the extra features you never thought you needed before you had them available.

Summary: A GREAT Little Camera!
Review: You will be more than pleased with this product. It is a breeze to learn, and it takes great pictures. The 3.2 megapixel provides very sharp pictures on my home printer. This is my first digital camera, and I am happy to say that it is a great hit. Can't wait until the holidays for more great shots. By the way, consider purchasing the 128 meg stick to go with it. It holds about 70 pictures. We also purchased a new computer with XP operating system. The XP compatibility is there. Actually, it was very easy. You will be printing pictures within five minutes of getting on your system.
