I got this camera a year ago and I am still crazy about the great pictures it takes as well as all the little options. I LOVE the touch screen. It is easier to view pictures and if you push the zoom when you are reviewing your pictures, it will enlarge the picture and allow you to crop and save without changing your original picture. It has built in features like picture frames, added graphics, etc. I keep finding new features that enhance the pictures. I have found that there is more red-eye with this than previous cybershot cameras, but it is easy to edit out, the the picture quality itself is sharp and the colors are brilliant.
I tried to get one of these for my niece for Xmas and either they stopped making them or I was looking in the wrong places. What I did find is that most of Sony's "touchscreen" cameras are in the $800 range now. This camera is a keeper and my favorite of all the camera's I have had in the past (Fugi, Canon, Kodak, etc.). Wish I could get this with the 5X zoom, but I haven't really found any need for more than this camera offers!

The N2 is a winner!
I was looking to replace my 4 megapixel digicam and did a ton of research looking for the ideal replacement. In the end, the CyberShot DSC-N2 is a winner.This unit is lightning fast, takes great pictures in low light, has a killer movie mode, and a really nice photo album feature.The detail captured by the 10.1mp CCD is stunning. Anyone that says "you don't need more megapixels unless you're making large prints" is either lying or uneducated when it comes to digital cameras. I took pictures of the same subjects with several lower megapixels cameras and the N2. The differences were literally night and day.Unlike some older Cybershots, this unit's Auto mode is fantastic, making the right adjustments 99% of the time. This is what a consumer point-and-shoot is supposed to do.Some may gripe about the lack of a stabilizer, but quite frankly, the N2 doesn't need it. I took tons of pictures in overcast conditions and out of 55 photos, the flash fired 3 times. Most consumer point-and-shoot cams would have fired the flash 40-50 times in the same conditions. Quite simply, this is such a fine camera in low light that the flash wasn't necessary! The pictures all came out fabulous!The movie mode is very nice on the Fine setting, though it uses ancient MPEG1 technology which eats up space fast and is difficult to convert to modern formats such as MP4 or DiVX. The video converts, but the audio doesn't. I wish Sony would use something a little more modern in that regard.The battery life is also very good for a camera with a 3" LCD. I got about 80 shots and a dozen movies before the battery called it quits. If you are using it more than this, an extra battery can't hurt.The 3" touch-screen LCD is fantastic, though it's very difficult to see in direct sunlight. The touch screen interface is pretty easy to use, though it does have some quirks that may confuse less technical folks. The main complaint is that the "Main" menu feels incomplete since I have to jump around to find the exact setting I was looking for.Flash range is above average for a compact digicam. It should be fine for most people.As for the unit itself, it's clean, attractive, and simple. It fits in the pocket easily and seems fairly durable, though I recommend some sort of case to protect the touch screen. It seems pretty tough, but I'm not taking any chances.I chose the N2 after comparing to units from Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, and Canon. Highly recommended!
