Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-U20 Digital Camera

Pros: Small size, 2.0 megapixels, and long battery life.
Cons: No zoom, lack of wrist strap, 13-hour charger.

The Camera

The Sony CyberShot DSC-U20 is a digital camera that looks like a spy-toy out of a James Bond film. It is so small you wonder if it really takes pictures or is just a prototype – and if it did take pictures are they any...

Pros: Small size, wow factor, decent resolution.
Cons: No optical or digital zoom, poor pictures in low lighting, red eye function inconvenient.

Sony DSC-U20, another one of Sony's cyborg sounding like names. Strangely enough you get sucked into the whole "SONY" thing in browsing their website. The DSC-U20 was bought for 2 reasons, its size and the fact that the memory stick fits my sony laptop...

Pros: Decent image quality. VERY tiny and really is "pocketable".
Cons: No adjustable image quality settings (heavy image compression). No wrist strap in box.

Not long ago I purchased the Sony U10, the 1.3 megapixel version in the U-series of cameras. I soon realized the limitations of that camera with it’s limited resolution, but on a recent trip to Circuit City, I noticed they were carrying the U20, a 2...

Pros: small size, great picture quality, easy to use
Cons: limited flash, no zoom

I have to admit that I'm a sucker for "miniature" stuff--and this camera sucked me right in. I was hesitant about purchasing it because I was afraid that I would be disappointed in the quality, but now that I've used it for several weeks, I am very ...

Pros: Compact, Chick Magnet (huge cute factor), Affordable
Cons: No zoom Battery recharge too long, Small screen, More expensive than other 2MP cameras

Overall, this camera is great. The biggest selling factor of this camera is the size. It is roughly the size of a large pack of gum. You can drop it in your pocket and not even know it's there. I needed a camera that I could just take out to parties,...

Pros: Ultra cool, good resolution, excellent image quality, highly portable, uses AAA batteries
Cons: No zoom, limited flash range

When I first saw the DSC-U20 at the Sony Style showroom in midtown Manhattan, I was totally awed. This is definitely the smallest digital camera on the market today, and the styling is superb, making it one of the things you want to own the moment you...

Pros: Very small, functional, reasonable battery life.
Cons: No zoom, needs external charger for batteries, no viewfinder.

I became interested in the DSC-U10 (1.3MP little brother of the DSC-U20) when I saw it briefly in a shop, but didn't have time to find out what it could do. Its size was what really attracted me to it. I got home and did some research on it, and found...

Pros: Extremely portable design, great conversation piece
Cons: No zoom, less than great low light/night capabilities

I purchased this camera specifically because I wanted a digital camera that I could carry anywhere w ...

Pros: TINY! Take it everywhere! Perfect concert camera!
Cons: Hefty pricing for no zoom, no finder, and a 2-megapixel.

I'm a Product Specialist at Circuit City for Technology, and as soon as we got these in, I went crazy. I couldn't stop playing with the DSCU-20, and overall, just drooling over the cute thing. It's a wonder that it hasn't been stolen yet. But in this ...

Pros: Tiny, Light = Wearable
Cons: Lens, Battery Life, Tiny LCD

Why It Rocks!
I bought the Sony DSC U20 for one reason: its tiny size. I wanted a camera that I could carry around everywhere, and this was that. Including the battery and the Memory Stick, the Sony DSC U20 weighs a scant 4.3 ounces. When...

Pros: Small, quick, easy to use.
Cons: May be too small for larger hands, no zoom.

The only good camera is the one you have with you. I currently use a Sony PC100 DV camera to take pictures, but the 1 megapixel lens is suited for web pictures only. And despite it's size, I rarely take it along except when I know I'll be shooting video....

Pros: Ultra-compact size, easy operation, cross-platform, good battery life
Cons: No zoom, no sound in movie mode

Pictures don't do this camera justice. You cannot appreciate its diminutive size until you see one in person. A minature engineering marvel. Very nice shutter design. Easy-to-use-and-understand menu and execution buttons.

Be sure and check...

Pros: Small/light weight. Easy transfer. Battery charger saves a bundle!
Cons: No zoom. Screen is hard to clean.

This is a great little camera. The image quality is fantastic. My favorite feature is the image transfer. It takes about 20 seconds to upload 50 pictures to the computer. All you have to do is plug the USB in and bam, the transfer begins.
It...

Pros: Super compact, lightweight, fun party camera
Cons: tiny buttons, small screen hard to see, no viewfinder, acceptable but not exceptional picture quality

I debated on whether or not to return the camera after buying it, but ended up keeping it for the following reason: It's small enough that you can take it with you more often so you will prob end up using it more. The camera works reasonably well for...

Pros: Super small size, easy to use, practical
Cons: no zoom

This is my first ever digital camera and I simply love it.
Eversince I bought it, I have taken it everywhere since it is simply so small and it easily fits in any of my pockets.
For a first camera it is great, but for pros, it may be a bit...
