This little baby runs about $625.00 and can be found at most large computer stores. It can also be ordered directly from Sony. The ease of use I found while operating this camera took away all of my digital camera fears right quickly! I was worried about taking photos, viewing photos, downloading, quality on the receiving end and any other worries I could conjure up. This may be the camera I ultimately buy due to the cost and ease of use.
The camera can be set up to use memory stick (although I was not using one) and can be used with Sony's digital photo printer. I used the USB interface and hooked the camera directly to the computer. I was really pleased with the ease of use.
Stay tuned for more reviews on Digital cameras from Sony Digital Imaging!
