Joy Re: Sony Camera

Hi Austin,
The Sony you found sounds good enough. I came into the digital scene late as I was still hanging onto my monologue stills and waited for the tech go better.

If you want a simple documentation camera, what you are talking about is good enough at 10.1mp. Since I go out to the field often, I opted for something which can I can afford to lose if it get smashed or dropped into a stream. Currently I am using (after killing half a doz) some hardly known brand - Jendigital 730C - 7mp and using AA alkaline batteries which are easily available everywhere. I prefer them as I can carry extra batteries into the jungle since I may be gone for days and (often) may not be near any electrical point for recharging. Also I would not have to stinge on my shooting if my power source is low, I just replace the batts there and then.

Though the features are limited, it serves the purpose I use it for as you can see from the pix I have posted. At less than $100 brand new, I can't ask for more. The only thing I miss is my Nikkor 20mm Super Wide angle lens.
