Glad I bought the Sony, I researched many Digital DSL cameras, but this had the features that I felt would work best for me. This is the first month I have this, but am very happy with it. I had another brand that this replaced, and the Super Steady Shot option made this a better choice. I would get out of focus pictures, and with this camera, that is not happening. Also I can take multiple shots quickly, no longer waiting a couple of seconds for the camera to re-focus everything. And I have taking hundreds of shots indoors at a big party without the flash and the pictures came out great. The battery is still on the first charge. I would also like to mention that the Sears employees were very knowledgeable about the Sony camera.
