Review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC -P41

Bearing in mind that I am only a so-so photographer, I love the camera. I use it to take shots of my kids for my scrapbooks. I am very comfortable handing it to my children and letting them play with it (13 and 14 year olds.)I have used it a lot over the last few weeks; I took pictures at my son's birthday party, my older son's graduation, and playing around in the park.Things I like 1.) Light weight2.) Battery lasts a long time3.) Great display, very informative4.) Holding the button down half way before taking a picture does a nice job auto focusing.The pictures turn out great and print well.Things to be aware of:It seems to work better in shade/partial shade than full sunThis is a digital STILL camera -not ideal for motion (though you can do bursts of 4 shots)What I wish it had - physical instead of digital zoom. If you use the digital zoom, you loose quality in the final picture.
