as sed above my bday is on the 27 of august (im going to be 16, yay" and i asked my mum to get me a digital camera.

im thinking about getting the Sony DSC-P120



the specs are:

3x Optical Zoom, up to 12x Smart Zoom, 6x Precision Digital Zoom

its the special edition of the DSC-P100

iv looked around and i get get it for £300

so i want to know what u ppl think of it
also if u dont like it can u please recomend another one for about £300-£350, it doesnt have to be sony but all my things are sony so it would be easier to transfer and all

edit: i know i can record film on it but can i also record sound with the film?

how much memory will an average pic take?

how much memory will an average 10min film take?

thanks dan

my last 3 or 4 digital cameras have been sony, I currently have the T1, and the pictures they take have always been great.

saw this one in dixons duty free the other day and it seems to be smaller than the previous models using the same styling (P10, P12 etc)

I'd say go for it

I didn't pay attention to the price as I'm not looking for another cam, but I always have a quick look around as I pass through north terminal on mondays and noticed it, maybe moreso because I vaguely remembered one being sold last week in this thread by jiggyjaggy

edit: I usually get them in from US or hong kong on ebay

Go for it mate! Getting that as your first digital camera will let you experience the joy of photography. You'll have all the features you need, and more, to enjoy capturing and creating that "Kodak moment". I have a slightly different Sony camera and love it to bits. Have fun when you get it and share some of your pics us.

I'm afraid I am one of the "old fashioned" ones who buy my stuff in the local shop.

I personally recommend Olympus 765 Camedia... great cam, with lot of possibilities and 12x optical zoom
