    Price Paid:  $380.00 from Tokyo Japan

    Summary:
    Got to love this little camera. I owed a Canon EOS 10D and 3 huge Prime lens set which I can't carry with me everyday. I have then switch over to Leica film camera. Which I am too afraid to carry with me everyday in Shanghai, China. So I have decided to buy this little camera the minute it come out. I am pretty content with it and I love the little Zeiss lens on this little thing. The 3inch LCD is a real head-turner, not to mention a chick magnet. Hahahha.

    Well, the only downside is that I bought it in Japan, so all the menu is in Japanese only. (not a big deal cause I can figure out most of it already) and there are 0 manual control on this thing. I wish they could have let me adjust aperture and shutter speed and also have shutter slower than 2sec.

    Sony's sharpness is pretty good. I love their small camera. I guess I will be able to carry this around more and take more discreet street photography.

    Strengths:
    - Small small small, so small it makes ants look big!!!!
    - Cute little Zeiss lens that really seem to be able to capture more details. I have tried it on an everning sky which capture a beautiful colour range from such a small lens.
    - 7.2 Mega Pixel is pretty good
    - Ok Shutter response, 100 times better than my previous P&S digicam. while no match for the Leica's or EOS
    - So damn easy to use.
    - Sleek 3 inch LCD and Sleek black body.
    - Stupendous battery time

    Weaknesses:
    - No manual control
    - A little bit too precious looking
    - Finger prints magnet
    - No long shutters
    - Dodgy flash
    -expensive memory stick

    Similar Products Used:
    Sony Cybershot DSC-P9

    Customer Service:
    None needed, although have used it on my P9 cause I caught sand in the lens machenism which screw the whole camera up. Cost 400AUD to repair!!!
