Some of the things i had in mind while considering this model - Sony DSC-N2
1. Awesome 10 Mega pixels - there are very few brands that have compact cameras with 10MP. There are 12MP models in the market too, Most of them are too expensive and for professionals. 2. Sony Brand - As almost (well i think so) every one agrees that Sony is a reliable and one of the best in electronics brand. 3. Huge 3" touch screen LCD adds to the fun - some one said on the net that "LCD works like citi bank ATM". 4. Whole bunch of features - I am a geek and like all fundo features being packed in such small devices read more at http://www.sonyindia.co.in/index_n2.html 5. Battery life - 300 to 400 photos can be clicked. 6. Market review of camera. To read more about the camera go the product site |
My old camera is in fully working condition as it was 3 years back.
I had a Olympus C-310 model a 3.2 Mega pixel camera bought in Sept 2004.
Some of the considerations that made me change the camera are
When I bought this camera it was one of the best looking, highest mega pixel camera in the market and was in the budget that was about $400 including a 128MB XD memory card). But over a period of three years i had started missing above listed features.
Its was high time i changed my 3Mega pixel camera with a new one.
| Bargain tips * Ideally wait for some bargain time like new year, christmas, thanks giving etc to buy anything at great prices. * If you are in hurry, still check some sites like deals2buy.com, froogle.com and other favorite sites of yours and compare prices. * Checkout taxes and shipping cost. * Ask your friends who make lot of research on prices (they will be more than happy to share their experiences). I bought 4GB memory stick and additional battery throught amazon.com |
-- My wishlist of features ---
And all these features...i still want my compact camera :) Technology...Show me the way...

You don't need the 10 mp unless you're blowing up your pictures to poster size. Therefore, 12 mp cameras aren't for professionals either, just for people who want big pictures. Professionals use DSLR cameras.
You are right, we dont need more than 5 MP which is of good enough quality for most general purpose. But the advantage of 10MP is you can blow up some part of the image and still retain same great quality in print. I have used many such parts of my photos in creating greetings for http://www.kannada-greetings.com
I agree with Sanjay. having 10MP are actually beneficial and with all the detail and editing that people do these days, we might as well make it available. I also blow up pictures alot for the details in the background. I think that it will come in handy more in the near future.
This camera worked like a charm for 3 years for me(it hasnt stopped working yet). It still takes great pictures. full 5- stars for the camera.
