Actually, I could not decide which brand to buy and my original plan was to buy Canon but I found its price of $569 quite steep as I preferred to stick to my budget and spotted Sony camera.. Looked not bad.. It costs $369 including 2 extra batteries, 8GB memory stick, DVD player, Workshop voucher and LCD screen protection.. not bad and reasonable.. Frankly, I wanted to buy pink colour but not suitable or girlish for my hubby if he wanted to use so I switched choosing gold instead.. hee..
My hubby tried to use this camera and very surprised that it was really very lighter than our previous digital camera..
