Good Points

Easy of use, great picture quality even when taking pictures of small children (they move so fast yet you get a perfect picture). Shutter speed is faster than you can believe and the usb connection speed is faster than any other camera I have used (given they have been a Kodak and a vivitar).

Bad Points

Slightly bigger than newer models, lcd screen maybe a bit smaller than it should. Not noticed any problems with battery life (using 2700mha AA), did not come with a camera case, very small internal memory (I think you get 16 pictures in full res'), but with a 2gb duo card it works fine. Not enough additional picture fx, and an awkward menu system not very user friendly, but still a great camera.

General Comments

I think for the price you would be hard pushed to find a digital camera that has such a fast shutter speed and image quality it is well just astounding when you think it is only 4.1MP. I would recommend this to a friend as it produces far better photo's than anything in the same price bracket, with all micro electronic hardware they are susceptible to damage, if miss treated. I was disappointed that there was no carry case and Sony charge so much for that after market product. Overall though I think anyone would be happy with this product it does exactly what it says on the cardboard box IT TAKES GREAT PICTURES. Oh! the video recorder is great so smooth clear and with good sound too. You have got to love it really I look forward to playing with this camera for a few more years yet.
