Advantages: Point and shoot excellence

Disadvantages: Battery life

I bought the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 camera for my daughter at Christmas. Her old Samsung 2Mp camera had taken one too many drops and needed replaced.

Having bought one of the earlier Cyber-shots some years ago (the 3.2 Mp one) I was drawn to try this one out and I was very impressed.

Many companies just bring out higher specs for the sake of it. Sony goes that one step better; there were loads of improved features from my old camera. Including the introduction of optical zoom and the Carl Zeiss lens and improved software options available via the lcd screen at the back.

I like the feel of this camera, it's the right size for a compact camera; you can fling it in your pocket or tote-bag when you're not using it. It's the right weight for a compact camera, not light and feeling as though it will break at the slightest knock. It just feels RIGHT.

The picture quality is great, as you'd expect from a Sony.

Summary: Would recommend for snap happy daughters
