great camera2009-06-13
Did a lot of research before I purchased this camera and i can safely say that for the price this product has the best features (at least it did at the time I purchased it). The touch screen is great and easy to use, no false touches like you get with some. the pictures are great, the steady shot works very well, and the auto balance gets the color right just about every time. Same high quality i have come to expect from sony.
Great for novices who want some pro options down the road2009-05-21
+Great Pictures
+Simple to use
+Large screen
+Sexy looks
+Very thin

-Navigating the touchscreen can be tricky
-Adjusting some of the standard settings is impossible in auto-mode
-Low light pictures and focussing is so-so
-Flash is below average
-Memory management and organization is way to awkward.

I got this for my girlfriend, and all in all she loves it. Most of its negatives are true with any pocket camera- week night time/flash performance and some of the 'auto' features need work. Of partiuclar note is the sometimes counter intuitive places you need to look for adjustments (there are actually alot but mostly a pro wont be using this camera) and the poor memory organization. Pictures show up on the computer that arent anywhere findable on the camera.

Despite these negatives, this camera takes some of the best day time shots of any of the 4 cameras we have in our household. 2 Sony's, 2 Panasonic's and some other one I cant think of. The optics are obviously very high quality. The battery life is above average. The style is way above average. The touchscreen is neat, but gets oily easy and doesnt always respond.
Great Pictures and Video quality2009-02-26
I can not describe how perfect the pictures come out on this baby. They are so perfect. The HD features are really sweet. But I didn't know they would print out as good as they look on the screen.
Great for your purse and shirt pocket2009-02-05
I have been getting great pictures with this little slim camera. I like the very large screen, better than average zoom, easy to manage functions on the touch screen. Even the movies are surprisingly good, the sound quality is of course mediocre with such a camera.
I don't like the odd and not always perfect closure for the battery compartment. In bright sunlight, it is very difficult to see the object on the screen. It would be good to have a viewfinder for that.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
