So the Sony Cybershot....alright I'll give you a minute to process how awesome of a name the Cybershot is even if it is just for the fact that it sounds like an attack from Digimon...or Beyblades...and early Yugioh...alright processed?...okay one more minute...good now let's get to it:
For $120 Canadian at Best Buy:
Battery Life:
This was huge to me because my previous camera ate up batteries like a mother fucker, and it wasn't rechargeable. I set out to find a camera with a lithium sort of battery and that's exactly what the cybershot provided, it gets better in my 25 or so days I spent in China I only charged it once...maybe twice MAX that's with low to moderate usage (leaning more towards moderate because I ended up with 560 pictures...)
Picture Quality: It's actually really good. You can't really zoom in once it's on the computer, but the overall quality of the picture is fantastic and was able to take landscape shots on the top of the mountains better then I imagined it could. And while you think certain details are being missed on the camera (such as a setting sun on a misty day) once you put it onto the computer you find those details to be there (at least of what I experienced)

Here's where the camera fell a bit, I found it was really slow, like it could take pictures fast but their would be a pause to then load that picture onto the screen and take it off in order to take another pictures, this made the burst mode necessary in some instances where I needed to take action shots, and sometimes made taking people pictures awkward, I also noticed that sometimes the pictures would seem blurred I'm sure that was from my hand moving but I think most digital camera don't blur that much, it also couldn't take pictures of giant tv screens in the airport...I don't know if thats important or not but I felt it needed to be said...Sometimes I felt that it took two or three tries just to get a picture focused and when I got home I found some of the pictures I took did turn out a little blurry without me even noticing it at the time (so I guess that could have been an Asaya problem rather then a Cybershot problem)
External:
With a very sleek look it gives off the impression of an expensive camera without the price tag (can you believe Sony isn't paying me for this?) the weight was also lighter and more compact than the other cameras I've had. The only real problem with the outside appearance isn't even part of the camera itself but with its cord it connected the vga cord (or whatever the red, yellow, and white cable that connects to the tv is called) the microusb, and the regular usb into on giant cord that couldn't fit into a small camera bag like the one I had so it wasn't ideal for travelling regardless though I felt it was a minor issue and ended up transferring all the pictures when I got back from China anyways which was a simple process of connecting going into the DCIM folder and copying the pictures (maybe there was a program to do that I don't know but thats what I do with all my cameras...and it works)
And that's it in the long run a very, very worth while buy and if you've been betrayed by digital cameras a lot over the past decade I definitely recommend it for a budget under $200 because this camera is never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down (most of the time), never gonna run around, and dessert you, never gonna make you cry, never gonna say good bye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
