My wife and I have owned many digital cameras and find this the best one we have ever owned. Apparently it’s a new generation. It is so automatic it makes it really simple to use. It automatically detects the photo type you are taking and lets you know – scenery, cuisine, closeup, etc. The smile feature is fun. Face detection with exposure correction really works. It’s compact, boots up quickly and has small or no delay when taking a picture. The 12MB picture really captures detail. We like this camera but may buy another brand for my wife when the time comes just because I like to experiment.

I had the DSC-P92 for year. The menus are nearly the same. The picture brightness varies with pixel choice though. No touchscreen or lithium batteries – less for me to break. Small enough and light enough. Not much zoom, but high pixels (~4.5MB file for 12MP).

I don’t have a lot of experience with digital cameras, but I reckon this one is a winner. I borrowed an earlier model Sony last year that cost way more, and this is better. Nice small camera, excellent features, simple to use, and a fantastic price.

I won’t get into specifics but let me quickly state the Sony DSC-S2100 is fantastic small camera at budget price. I compared it to my sisters Nikon L20 and was amazed at how much better the performance of the Sony was in comparsion to the Nikon. The build seems durable with metal shutter lens cover as opposed to plastic. I guess the one thing I wish it had is a lower f-stop. It will only do 3.1.
I used this camera to expose Panasonics flawed black levels
