General Comments

When I decided to buy a good digital camera, the Sony CyberShot DSC-S40 was not my choice. However, after considering the price I decided to buy this model. I have been using this for a month now. It is good, with cool features.

I was struggling for a few days with the camera trying all menu options as the manual was not very specific. After finding them, using it became child's play.
I tried with some features like taking pictures in dark, parties, and scenaries etc. Things are fine. The supplied battery died after the 62nd picture (including a few vedios too) as I was using the LCD display for a long time. To solve the problem, I got a set of rechargable batteries.
If the rechargable goes off when I am on tour, I can still buy any alcaline and continue with the work.
Image quality is good.
