My Review 

It takes great pictures. The touch screen allows for a very large LCD on the back, which makes for great viewing of photos. The battery doesn't hold a charge for long, so I have to be sure to charge it before taking pictures. I bought a second battery, just in case. The camera is small enough to fit in my pocket, so it can go everywhere with me. Also, exposing the lens turns the camera on -- very easy! It's very fast from click to exposure, which is good for catching good grandchildren and sports shots. This camera is a few years behind current models, but I would highly recommend Sony (assuming new ones are as good as or better), because it exceeds all my needs.
