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!
Sony has done a very nice job with the feel of the camera, it fits into my pocket so nice, no sharp edges, light weight, its always with me.
I wasn't sure I would like the Sony battery pack, (had rechargeable AA bateries in my old camera). The battery pack lasts twice as long as my old camera, and the Sony charger is fast, (I also purchased a back up battery pack). As many others have said, the pictures are sharp and clear not sure if I will always need it set on 10 megapixels. The camera only comes with 25 megapixel internal memory, so you will need at least a 1 Gig memory stick. I love the large touch screen, the menues are easy to use, better than a joystick and buttons. I was looking for camera with at least 5x optical zoom, but after a week of using this great camera with so much clarity, you just crop the photo later on the computer. I am sure Sony will add image stabilization to their next model when it goes beyond 3x zoom.
The Sony software was nicely done, and great for viewing pictures by date or title. Much better software than Kodak, (which takes over all your pictures, and hides your photo folder so that you use their developing service), nice job Sony. I also like the slideshow on the camera, wow, fancy music, fades, etc, your friends will be impressed.
Only small gripe I have is that the beep sound is annoying with every button and setting, and when you turn the beep off, it also turns off the shutter beep, so I can't tell if the picture took. Oh well, its still a great camera.
Problem: The N2 could not deliver in low light situations without a flash. I mean even on a moderately cloudy day outside. There are just too many situations like that when a better camera could catch the moment in its beautiful natural light. The images were blurry or soft, plain and simple. How can this be with the great optics and the megapixels? I am no expert but would guess that they are massively screwing up in the sensor-software department. I vote for less pixels and more attention to sensors and software. I mean, who uses a point and shoot and *really* needs more than about 8 megapixels for 99% of their photos? No one.
Am still looking for a great point-and-shoot for low light camera. Will try the Fuji F31fd -- like the Sony F717, a legend. It has 6 megapixels and that "limit" hardly concerns me.
Here's the downsides. Its not cheap. Not many color preference. At certain angles and lighting the camera can appear silver to pink metallic. Extra pair of batteries can cost about $40. Only Uses Memory stick Duo card. Since its a touch screen expect it to get dirty so I suggest you get a screen cleaning kit.
