Sony Cybershot 8.1 mega pixel 5x zoom

This is my first digital camera. I shopped around a lot before I decided on the Sony. It would be easy to operate even for a technically challenged person. Zoom is just right. Pictures are crisp, colors are vivid. It's small, compact and fits nicely in a purse. Memory sticks are expensive but no more so than for other digital cameras. Wasn't quite sure what to do with memory stick because the instructions weren't very precise. An attached cover slides up to cover the lens. Pictures can be printed in different sizes.
