    I have had an old Canon 5 MP digital camera and decided to go for a new one. I am not professional photographer, just a casual user.
    So I looked at several cameras in various stores and also did some research online,
    http://best-digital-cameras-reviews.blogspot.com/ I must admit that I love this Sony camera. The picture is flawless, generally with a size within 1MB. The screen is big so that I can easily see the quality of the picture that was taken. Zoom option is also great! The size of this sony camera is perfect to keep it in my purse. There is one problem though and that is that the red color of the camera is not pure blood red but more a very dark pink and red, but I like this difference. So I really recommend this Sony Digital Camera to an average user.
