pocket digital camera recommendation

	Kinda late, but check out the Sony CyberShot T9 by Tim Wilson on Sep 9, 2006 at 8:44:35 pm I've been shooting seriously since 1975, and professionally for several of those...and I've never been happier with a camera than this one. It's crazy small (2.2 x 3.5 inches, .8 inches deep -- yes had to look that up), but between its 6 megapixel image size and Carl Zeiss lens, the images are stunning. As for the rest of your list, Bob -- --Optical stabilization, check. On for shooting only by default, but you can also keep it on all the time, kinda useful for setting up shots. --Long battery life, check. The usual caveats apply: flash reduces battery, etc. --While not an optical viewfinder, pretty much the whole back of the camera is a beautiful LCD screen. I find that not only do I not miss a viewfinder, I now find viewfinders too small to view. :-) Some other notes: it can shoot MPEG video. I wouldn't throw away the video camera, but it's a lot better than phone quality. Don't even think about using internal memory only. Spend the dough on a big memory stick. I like to keep images on the camera to show friends, and this makes it easy. Take a look at the DSC-T9 online --it really is a beautiful little thing. There are some cheaper ones around, but none better IMO. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
