Is this any good?!

Hi,

I don't know a lot about Camera's, I've been told that this should be quite good. Do you all agree?!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Cyber-s...046033-9059640

Or if you don't, I have a budget of £100 ish I suppose, if you could post something that you think is better for the money?!

Thanks
Paul

Re: Is this any good?!

It is a new (ish ) camera which is another Sony P & S which, while it will take pictures fairly well , is not set to win any prices

I hope somebody here can give you a one on one opinion but even on dp review there is only one single user review so yours may be the second or third if yo go for it
There is nothing wrong with trying it if you have a chance to return it. The problem here is that people who use them regularly ( many on here) quickly outgrow the limitations of such cameras and move on to better.

Even in dpreview which is a photography/ camera site, the fact of only one user review should be telling regarding any widespread use to give you some feed back

Cameras like the Fuji F30/31 which are close in price but better known will get you perhaps a better user feed back
