Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V3 7.2 Megapixel

I'm happpy that people are very pleased with this model. Having confidence and liking your camera are two very important aspects in rating cameras.

Here's a few realistic mentions that are just as noteworthy about the V3. The auto modes tends to choose small apertures. Small aperture, small lens, small sensor all add up (or down in this case) to lower resolution.

I think to be objective then the facts should be presented. I love this camera and I probably say that for the classic rangefinder style it has. It is a super looking little gem of a digital camera. I would recommend it to anyone.

I feel it's just as important to mention exactly what you get with one though.
It can tend to be "over sharp" in some circumstances or conditions.

You must be aware of the tendacy to use small apertures and discover that "less sharpening" is better sometimes. Watch the aperture, don't depend on the sharpest setting, and be careful with the jog control.

I believe the Canon G6 is a better choice in this class simply because it has a better lens and program. But the difference is so slight that the Sony should be rated between a "good and excellent" on this rating system.

With the tendacy and control in mind the V3 is an exceptional image taker of which I am very impressed with. I rate the Canon G6 and Sony DSC-V3 as two of the best point-and-shoot digital cameras, new or old. That includes the newer Sony H models and the Canon G7. If the rangefinder style appeals to you, I'd pull the trigger on one without hesitation because your ability to get great photos is at your disposal.
