Nice
I was going to get the dsc-s40 but seing as Circuit City had a two day sale on new years, I went and got this for $134 before taxes. (sorry amazon, I'm cheap. I'm new to the digital camera world and I really don't know too much about the camera yet but it's very clear and sharp (as in see that small piece of dust on your scalp sharp) and I'm loving the movie mode. All in all, a very great value, especially for the price that I paid. Even hooked up to the tv the pictures and movies are clear. Funny/sad story. Two hours after I returned home with the camera the kid next door either jumped from a very high second story window while running from or was pushed by his mother. I didn't catch the actual incident but I did get afterwards. He survived and only twisted his ankle (MIRACULOUS) Still debating on what I should do with the video. Friends tell me I should give it to the cops but there's really nothing incriminating in it as I missed the part where he said his mother pushed him (later when the cops arrived he changed the story) but I live in the hood and there is always a possibility of retalition...getting off the subject...even though it was dark, using vegas I was able to brighten the pic up enough so that you would think it was daytime and there was still a lot of detail and even though I was holding the camera from a second story window, the microphone picked up the boy crying (i didn't even hear him crying with my own ears)
oh yeah, reason I said funny/sad story: funny that this happened just when I was able to get this stuff on tape...scuse me..memory stick... everything else bout it is just plain sad.
Big screen but no standard USB cable
I got this camera for Christmas and have already taken about 50 pictures with it. Love the big screen on this camera and it has a lot of great features that the average user probably won't ever use, but I hope to. My only complaint so far is that the cable you use to download the pictures to your PC is not your standard USB cable. It's a combo cable with outs to video and USB. Sounds convenient, until you lose the cable. I'll be guarding this cable with my life.
