I just bought one of the smaller ones. 5 mp is very nice. With the memory upgrade we were getting 48 pics in a go. The battery was fine. The coolest thing is it starts real fast. open the cover and shoot.

sony cybershot. One feature I just saw that i do not have and would be cool is water proof. Otherwise a guy said just ziplock it for bad weather. Not sure if everything would look like crap.
