Fabulous pictures at a good price

This is my fourth digital Sony camera since 2000 and the seventh overall I have owned. The image quality is outstanding, the learning curve is easy and not having to carry around a ton of equipment is a plus. I am a Photoshop disciple and this integrates with ease. For the cost nothing compares. I would recommend this camera for the person who wants wonderful shots with little or no professional experience. Sony has extended the battery life to a greater degree than any other of their cameras. The large 10 mp pix allow a lot of detail in crops. Wonderful camera.
