from Circuit City Summary: Sony almost always make reliable products with the right features for decent prices. This is the case with this digital camera. It has good features, all of which work well with the camera (flash, mpeg, zoom). Remember that all Sony media products use their proprietary "memory stick" technology. This can be a good thing if you have a lot of Sony devices (because you can interchange memory between devices)or a bad thing because the cost usually higher than flash or mmc cards. Strengths: Very clear, concise pictures. The image quality is excellent for a 2MP camera. The size of the camera is perfect. It's substantial enough to feel like a camera in your hands, but small enough to fit in your pocket. Weaknesses: Accessories are a major Sony weakness. They almost never include anything with their already inflated prices. This means you will have to buy an AC adapter for around $35 in addition to the camera if you want to save your battery life. Keep in mind that battery life of a pair of alkaline batteries is about 5 minutes. I'm not kidding. Don't even think about using regular batteries in this camera because you'll just be throwing your money away. It's best to buy a set of recharable batteries (unfortunately not included either). Customer Service: Sony customer service has always been good.
