I'm in the market for a new camera....how much was this one? |
The thing lists for $349, I got the guy at Circuit City to give it to me for $300. Basically sony was able to fit the new 13.6MP chip (just came out) into their cybershot casing that they use with their 7 MP (and one other I think) camera... I think that's why the cost stayed down. This camera is a STEAL even at the MSRP IMHO.

Sony using their own batteries, memory cards, and cables allows them to pack more/better stuff into a smaller package than the competitors. And their cards aren't expensive.... high speed 1 gig for 25 bucks.

The one you got looks legit but hows the price and everything? I'm really only looking for $200ish? |
I spoke about the price above... they have a version with less resolution that is around 200 and is pretty much the same camera otherwise. I think it's 8 MP or so.

I don't recall saying MP = good picture... but in this case, the resolution is fucking huge and the picture quality is excellent. So if I bought some cheapass brand toting the number of MP then yes, it would be a gimmick. But sony's cybershot line has always been among the best and that's the line I've bought most of my digicams from over the years.
The extra megapixels can act as extra zoom. Basically I require my camera to be small enough to carry, and as such 3x is the zoom level that is available on most cameras. But this takes such frigging huge pictures, I can practically triple that zoom level just with image resolution
Also, it has a Zeiss lens. Awesome.
I want to get an SLR eventually for when I intend to carefully take pictures and use full manual mode. This is my everyday camera, and considering its size it has tons of power, tons of features, and can even be used in manual mode which I will certainly take advantage of when the subject is not time-sensitive.
I was able to take a few quick pictures at lunch yesterday and am very happy with this thing. It friggin rocks and has TONS of features. I love Sony, my family and I have always bought their electronics whenever they were an option.
Here's a few from lunch. I bet I'll have more soon, I want to mess around with this thing a lot.

Flower under the tree above... very happy with the way this came out considering it was in the shade:
Also, the stabilization on this thing is REALLY fucking good. I've never used a camera that the image stabilizer worked so good on.
