Best Review: Sony Cybershot DSCS40 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom - I got this camera for one hundred and seventy seven dollars here at Amazon. It packs alot of power for a small camera at a very low price. Here's what I like about it:* Small compact size. I wouldn't exactly say this camera is meant for you pockets (although it would fit) as it's thicker than the slim design cameras that you may have seen. However, the thicker frame is what I like about it. It's very comfortable to hold with two hands - very good ergonomic design...fingers to not get in the way of the flash, lens, or viewfinder. I've tried taking pictures with the Canon Elph, and the thinness of that camera is very awkward (not good if you grew up with traditional point and shoot cameras).* Excellent, excellent battery life. Say goodbye to proprietary batteries. This puppy uses two AA batteries. If you invest $20 for rechargeable Energizer Ni-Mh batteries (4 batteries and a charger), you'll find yourself taking picutres non-stop. My prior digital camera was a Sony P-50 that also used two AAs. That camera killed off my Ni-Mh batteries after only about 20-40 pictures depending upon flash usage and how long I left it on. The S-40 didn't drain my battery until I took about 200 pictures (the vast majority with the flash on - and I didn't try to conserve the battery). I think it can take a even greater amount, because the 200 was when I 1st got the camera and started playing with all the features wasting battery life.* Relatively fast shutter. Press half-way to focus, then press all the way - practically no lag to take the picture unlike the older digital cameras.* When using a Memory Stick Pro, the S-40 can take video with sound at 640 x 480 fine quality - good enough to burn onto a DVD and watch on your TV.* Intuitive menu buttons on the camera...also has limited programmable camera features (i.e. ISO settings, EV, white balance, flash strength, center vs multi focus, etc.).* 32 MB of internal memory - probably won't ever need with my 512MB memory stick, but nice to have just in case.* 3X optical zoom on a Carl Zeiss quality lens.* The 35mm equivalent is 32 to 96 millimeters. What this translates to is that the camera has a wider angle (so you can capture more in the frame without backing up) than a typical 35mm camera lens. Check out the 35mm equivalent on the other "micro" digital cameras and you will find that they are something like 38mm to 102mm, which means you have to backup to capture the same amount of detail. The higher mm rating is good for zooming, but worse for group photos. It's alot easier to move forward to your subject (for a manual zoom) than to move backwards (for a manual wider angle) in crowded areas.* Takes good pictures...much better than my old Sony P-50 (which I got in 2001).If I had to list one complaint about the camera, it's that in low lighting any picture taken with the subject greater than about 10 feet away (which is about the flash strength area) will show up "dingy" and the background will be in dark faded colors. HOWEVER, I surmise that ALL point-and-shoot digital (and conventional) cameras have this problem as well. Unless you can attach a larger flash to the camera, which isn't an option on point and shoots, this problem will always exist. Only SLR digital cameras will good pictures in low light with subjects greater than 10 feet away. The S-40 does have a night scene mode where it makes the shutter very slow so more light is captured - in this mode, the camera will take good low light pictures, but you have to use a tripod for this mode.Overall, for under $200, I highly recommend this camera. You don't need to spend anything greater as this camera will do the trick. 4.1MB is more good enough for photos as large as 8x10.
