I bought a new digital camera a few weeks ago (my third digicam). The relatively new Sony DSC-N1. It is a pretty nice camera that is very small (3 13/16” x 2 3/8” x 7/8”), is 8.1 Megapixel using a 1/1.8″ 8.1MP Super HAD CCD. One of the really big features is the beautiful 3″ LCD screen on the back of this camera. The LCD is also a touch screen, and in fact most of the adjustments to the cameras functions are done via the touch screen. The picture quality seems to be really good and it also takes really decent 640×480 movies with sound as well. I bought a Sandisk UltraII 1GB Memory Stick Duo Pro for it as well as an extra battery (the camera uses Sony’s proprietary Type G Lithium Ion battery). A number of digicam review sites such as Steve’s Digicams, and DC Resource have pretty detailed reviews of this camera. This makes my third digicam with my Nikon Coolpix 990 being my first and the other being a Nikon D70 DSLR. I bought the Sony DSC-N1 to have as a take anywhere camera. I posted some sample photos in the photo gallery.
