Advantages: Price, size

Disadvantages: Battery not cheap to replace

I bought a Cyber-shot a few years ago and was disappointed because the battery ran out relatively quickly and it was very expensive to replace. However, I saw this reasonably-priced DSC-W55 and thought I would take a risk.

I have no regrets. I've had it for almost a year and I absolutely love it! It's light-weight, very stylish and takes excellent photos.

I'm not one for fancy cameras with complicated functions, so this Cyber-shot is perfect for me. Anyone can use it and you don't even need to delve into the instruction manual every five minutes like you need to for some other cameras.

My favourite feature is the 'twighlight' function where I've taken some dramatic night-time shots.

I also recommend it for families with young children who need a sturdy model. Our child has thrown this around several times and it has not damaged it in any way.

I'm still wary of the battery running out and I know it won't be cheap to replace. For the time being, I thoroughly recommend!
