Rocky, The whole idea of portable electronics is that they are easily transported/concealed and sip electrons. steves-digicams.com This camera may be a good hybrid between a digital camera and a short-clip video camera. I think that there are trade-offs in both applications. My understanding is that many of the newer (ultra-small) palm-style digital camcorders use linear tape with capacities of over 10 gigabytes. All of a sudden 156MB doesn't sound like too much to work with. A digital camera loaded with features, a CD-R disk drive and a 10X optical zoom will be the size of a shoe box and weigh you down like a brick. They should just call it the "Sony Albatross". When was the last time you bought an SLR with a 28-280mm lens? What use does that have? You can take pictures of your kids soccer games from the adjacent county? Does it come with a built-in tripod as well? At its maximal length I would have my doubts that even an anti-shake mechanism will be useful. I will take a Canon digital ELPH with 2.1 megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom over the camera Sony is currently releasing anyday. The camera you describe is a niche player at best. Ausdauer
