rich has one. i was playing with it when he went to the store :rick: some things ive noticed...it has a huge LCD screen in the back, it boots up very fast, and its a small sleek camera. would i pay $500 for it? no. h: but if i had the extra dough flying around and i needed a pocket camera...it would be it.

not so sure about pic quality though.

no, im not selling the s200. i had a PSP on it from best buy. it just happened to break :rick: so i got my $260 (employee price) back toward the w1. it was $399 so i paid $144. the only thing is that my s200 used CF and the sony of course uses MS. i'll just get one of my friends to pick one up for me. i just got home, gotta charge the batteries. i'll take some shots soon

Already? Two years is a pretty fast turnover...

In all honesty, I'd stick with the Canon line.

It bugs me that Sony forces you to buy their media - which really should be faster IMHO.

When shopping for my camera earlier this year:
I couldn't find a better overall package than the Canon A80.
I'm still very impressed with the flexibility of the camera.
I still think it has the best interface (software and hardware).
The boot time is damned quick.
Despite the lower resolution, the A80 still gets my :bigok:.

Eh, my 2¥. :shrug:

I've been looking at pictures from my SD110 before it was stolen--i'm very unimpressed with them. Whites mix with greens. Lines are blurred. Don't care for Canon at the moment, unless somebody sways me back towards them. I was looking at that same Camera (the sony) actually--thinking I might snatch it up up.

edit: but maybe not--I think 3 months at tar gym is more worth it then the extra $100 I'd have to spend.

i liked the shots i took with my s200 at high res, but my dad's 3.2mp sony always impressed me. im kina pissed that i have to change media, but at least the card reader i got when i bought my canon reads MS and CF.

WiLL: yea, i have a PSP on everything PSP'able from when i worked there. ive gotten 3 new pioneer 8400/8500s so far, not to mention a bunch of car audio and wireless stuff. :bigok:

after watching gothika with robyn the batteries are still charging..
