If I were you and going to buy a Sony, I’d go for one with a Carl Zeiss Lens, they are _nice_ ---

I’d probably go with the W1, because it has the manual controls and the bigger LCD. ---

Do you actually need 5.1 Mega Pixels…? I have 3 and is way more then i would need… Annywho… take the DSCP100. My friend has it… we have loads of fun making lil movie skits with it 🙂 ---

The P100 is a toy, get the w1!!! It has manual mode so you can take long exposures or adjust your depth of field and such. Also there is some great add ons such as a telephoto, wide angle lens, etc, and probably some filters for you to use. Although its just 3mp I would get it for the manual features, that usually makes a difference on how the pics look like. Its a step down from the camera I got which is the F717. Takes GREAT pics if you gonna use them for your designs. I know you gotta love macro pics! If you don’t mind spending more money or if you are serious about photography, get the 8mp F828 or a DSLR like a Cannon Digital Rebel. ---

I belive that the F717 prices has dropped. I got mines for like $500 w/ discounts. Dont buy anything direct from sony, they will jack up the price. Your local electronics store should have reasonable prices. Or you could check other sites or perhaps ebay. ---

but see, i dont want something like professional. i need a camera for taking family pics, maybe landscapes and macro stuff. and thats $500 in US money, i live in canada, and thats $655.112 CAD…plus shipping and handling and taxes and anything else theyll charge. ---
