Well it gets 10/10 for design!

I rate Sony point and shoots quite highly, there are a few in my family and they are all great. I'm failr certain that would be too, it has decent specs and a Carl Zeiss lens.

How much are they and what else is in your shortlist?

Anything small really. Still open to recommendations. Just got a good price on this one as a one off.

Looking for >8megapixels with a screen 3" or bigger.

I would be very tempted to go for that sony - their compacts have been ace in my experience. It has image stabalisation which is a great plus!

Well i'll let you know tomorrow (Tues) - it's being delivered then

How much did you get it for? Was it a one off off?

So how is it? Going well? Is it what you expected?
