I bought this camera, and i have not had a single doubt in my mind of wasted money. It takes awesome pictures and is very durable. I found it very easy to use, all the buttons are right there. My only problem is after i took a video and tried to watch it on my camera, i figured out the sound only played back on the TV or computer etc. Other than that, it is the best camera i have ever had...
Sony - Cybershot 7.2MP Digital Camera is recommended by KJYl
For great shots, start out right with Sony. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650 makes an ideal entry-level digital camera as well as a great gift idea for any first-time photographer. With 7.2 MP resolution, 3X Optical zoom lens, high ISO 1000 sensitivity for low-light shooting and Stamina battery power for up to 460 shots, it is also great for family vacations and holidays. A bright 2.0 in. LCD screen makes it easy to set up shots and check results. A 24MB Internal Memory lets you shoot without a flash memory card or load optional Memory Stick Duo media in the built-in slot. Comes with AV and USB cables, wrist strap, software CD-ROM and 2 AA nonrechargeable batteries.
