Nope. Discontinued. Best bet would be ebay.

Thanks for the help - what would be a good replacement that is on the market now?

Off the top of my head, I'd suggest that since you already probably have memory sticks, the Cybershot W55 is a good affordable 7 MP camera.

What's your budget? Are you looking to stay in the SONY family or are you open to alternatives?

Thanks for the followup. I really need a simple one-handed camera for fishing and snorkeling photos. That's why the waterproof U60 was so appealing. I didn't need to buy both a camera and a case. This kept the size and price small. I need to stay in the $200-300 range.

Right at the top of your range is the Olympus Stylus 770 SW. It can be used to a depth of 33 ft. Can withstand extreme temperatures and the straight drop of 5 ft. Pretty sturdy.

I need to decide between a sony cybershot w55 or the Sony new dsc2t/p I am just worried it may be too complicated for my 1st digital camera& there may be kinks in a new camera on the market and I am a grown up too(haha).

Also I like the Nikon s51 and Panasonic TZ3 I have only 24 hrs to decide my husband says so he can get it for xmas. Its hard as everyone complains about something on every camera. I want a camera that works and has a decent size screen I love the 3.0 but I want the battery not to die on me. What is your suggestion on these cameras. Help please. Signed, Dazed and Confused

Well,. the Panasonic Lumix TZ3 has a MUCH better zoom vs. the S51. 10x optical vs. 3x optical. THe TZ3 can also optionally shoot in widescreen, which is awesome for landscape and panoramic photos.

I know that SONYs are popular, and certainly the W55 is a popular option. However, I have issues with them. My beef with SONY is that they tend to force their customers into proprietary technologies such as the memory stick, their own spin on formatting, and a host of others.

Cameras like Panasonic or Canon rely on more standardized SD cards, which are pretty much the standard in point and shoot for memory cards. This means you can use any you happen to currently have and they are much cheaper than memory sticks. You can also use them in other technologies like PDAs, DMPs, and even mp3 players, whereas that memory stick is only going to be used in another SONY.

This may not be a big deal for you. But I still like the TZ3 because of it's better optical zoom for a compact camera. That's nice.
