Sony CyberShot DSC-P8

My wife and I received the Sony CyberShot DSC-P8 digital camera after my in-laws bought theirs. My wife works with digital video more than still photography, but I have been playing around with this little camera for fun. It has yet to disappoint me.

I'm not very good with new technology, but I picked this camera up, and within a couple of minutes I had found my way through enough options to make black and white pictures. With a little reading I have now learned how to create photos, not just pictures.

My partner and I finally decided to buy a digital camera and were utterly confused at the range and the choices available.

We researched on the web and asked friends opinions but still hadn't made a decision until we were at the hold and touch stage in the shop.

We ended up choosing the Sony DSC-P8 because we thought the video feature would be a little extra fun.

Let me tell you, we have so much fun taking beautiful crisp, colourful photos and putting them together with video shorts on the PC and emailing them to friends.

We're thrilled with the size, pic quality, videos and automatic settings. Even the manual option takes me back to being an excited teenager with my first SLR.
