Advantages: Cheap, small and light, bright pictures
Disadvantages: small LCD, no microphone built-in, get a better camera for just Ģ50
Hello
Well, I have got bad experience with Sony, in the past I bought 2 different models from them, I always got out of focus and blurred images so I change to Panasonic Lumix, now it is time to give a Sony a new opportunity
Is this a good camera or what?, well, its a cheap, light and small camera, but it can't get 5 out of 5.
Playing around with the camera I realize it doesn't have a microphone built-in, so there is no way to record sound in video mode, don't try to use these feature if you are serious about video, but why do they put this options if you can't hear anything?
The LCD display is 2.5" with a display format of 115,000 pixels when some other cameras for Ģ50 more got a 3" LCD and 230,000 pixels, I know it is a cheap camera, but after a while you'll be thinking about the 3", believe me!
Direct print?, I never use it, but it is good to know that it'll be there when I need it

From my Lumix Fx55EG-K review
---------------------------------------
Do nt go for the Megapixel, remember that you only need two-megapixel if you want to make 4x6-inch prints, excellent choice for e-mail and online use.
If you think that you may want to enlarge some of your images to 8x10 inches, consider a three-megapixel digital camera. Cameras in this category provide excellent-quality images.
For 11" x 14" Prints, 4 to 5 Megapixels is enough.
Digital cameras with resolution in the four to five megapixel range are capable of producing professional-quality images. These cameras are designed for serious amateur and professional photographers with advanced skills, and generally they are not appropriate for beginning photographers.
so, should I buy this camera?
well, yes if you are new to this world, after that I recommend save a little more money to buy the lumix! :D
Summary: Nice camera for beginners at low price :D
