Answer

mp is very good for a compact, and will enlarge probably up to A at a push without too much pixellation evident. The Cybershots have a good reputation as far as I am aware and should be of good quality. However, Sony are not primarily a camera manufacturer, unlike Fuji, Pentax, Canon or Nikon and they are aimed more at the casual snapper market than the keen amateur photographer. That said, anything of MP should be more than enough for anything from wildlife photography and landcapes to party shots and wacky snaps. brbrI can thoroughly recommend Fujis compact cameras they provide consistent high quality shots at reasonable prices and last well even when dropped!. Some of those come in funky colours too, they are dinky and the same price range the Fuji finepix Z boasts MP and a good zoom and Id personally put more faith in one of those than in the Sony. brbrThe most telling things for a compact camera though are, primarily, the lens you can have as many MP as you like and they wont help you if its only got a poor lens. Also, think about the optical zoom digital zoom quickly pixelates type of flash it has, what youll be using it for, and how it feels in your hand to use. brbrJessops in some towns in the UK can be extremely obliging and are generally fairly knowledgeable about their stock. When I was buying mine took me a while! I narrowed down my options with the help of the staff and bought two on the understanding that one was to be returned in perfect condition, with an empty memory card, after Id roadtested it. Failing that, borrow a friends for a weekend and go out on a photo spree. brbrWhen doing that either from the shop or your mates use the cameras to their fullest extent, try all the settings and play with it in all light levels and conditions. You can even download a few images to your PC and print them to see how the quality compares. brbrHave fun!
