    This was Sony's top line digicam a few years ago and its esy to see why. Solid Black Aluminum Chassis and body. 4.1 Megapixel CCD with an excellent HAD focusing system. Outstanding battery life from the NP-FM50 Camcorder Battery. This camera can take a licking and produce excellent digital pictures day-in and day-out. It is really a work-horse digicam that is built for the long term. If you are looking for a decent back-up or Ebay digicam, this camera fits the bill nicely. You can find one easily on Ebay in the $150-$175.00 rangein excellent condition that will easily giveyou 3-4 years of additional usage. The only negaitve is that it takes Memory Sticks and the camera is kind-of bulky and heavy whencompared to the latest generation of competing digicams. You can't go wrong with this camera as Sony engineered this one to last for a very long time. You can even add a Sony External Flash for even more flexibility and power.

    I have taken several shots with this camera in various kinds of lighting. From low light to very bright outdoor shots, this camera performs extremely well. It was in it's day, a top talent, and still is when compared to today's cameras that may cost a hundred dollars more. It operates very well as a point and shoot or if you desire to be in more control this camera is wonderful in various priority modes. Excellent placement of controls with a very intuitive menu system. I use the fine setting with +1 sharpness and get outstanding shots still today. Battery life is excellent as well. Movie mode by today's standards lacks a bit with limited resolution but certainly is easy to use for a quick movie. I think it is limited to 15 fps. Bottom line: shot in, shot out, this camera is very reliable with good metering and what I would say "bright colors".
