Advantages: video capability, 7.2 megapixels, Slideshow, Value fror money

Disadvantages: quite heavy, have to buy an extra memory card with it

I just came back from holiday last month, which was fabulous. Before i went i bought this camera for £130.

I was able to capture my favourite moments using this slick new camera from Sony in the DSC line. With 7.2 megapixel it produces brilliant quality pictures that you can hang in frames, plus you can take video clips upto 3 hours long depending on how much free memory there is.

Theres a 2.5 inch viewfinder LCD to see the pictures that you are taking. Its crystal clear and doesn't strain the eyes. Theres 3x optical zoom and 6x digital zoom which is really useful when you want to take photos of far away things. It even retains the quality of the final picture.

Theres a fully animated menu which has several options to improve and view your pictures. Firstly you can delete one or all your pictures using an option in the menu. Thens theres an option to view all your pictures as a slideshow which also has background music and effects which you can choose. The next option gives you choices of settings that you can choose for your photos, like having the background brighter or dimmer or making the foreground lighter. Theres several choices in this option.

The camera comes with a USB cord and wires to connect to either your PC or TV. On the TV you can view your pictures as a slideshow and you can view your videos. On your PC you can transfer the pictures and videosw plus you can upload music tracks onto the camera but they have to be a certain format. The camera also comes with a install disk which you can use to install some software plus a registration form that you can fill in online.

Overall, this is a fabulous camera and a must have product if your planning on going on holiday very soon. With 7.2 megapixels and video capability its very value for money for only £130. Plus it's very easy to use.

Summary: Excellent quality pictures, a big range of features. Must have on a holiday
