Hi BadBoy!! Sorry everyone has passed up your question… Perhaps I can help. If there is one brand of camera I can recommend to anyone… it would be a Sony. Oh… the Nikons and Canons get the most rave reviews, but in alot of cases they are more expensive, and for the same price, do not offer any better features than do the sony. My daughter and I use Sony, and though we do not have the model you are asking about, we have had 8 Sony digitals… from several years ago until now. All of them are still working and the only reason we have replaced one with another is to upgrade. That tells me that they are very dependable. After reading your question, I did a little research for you and will advise… hands-down.. you try the DSC-110 . It is the most similar to the one we use now and it takes such nice pictures. We use it for close-ups and for pictures indoors. Everything is really in focus and the color is vivid and vibrant. I work for a camera repair facility and lots of cameras come in…. and true, also Sonys but for the most part, people bring them in for repair after their camera was dropped, left in the hot car, or fell in the water. We hardly get any that JUST QUIT WORKING!! I hope I was able to help you make a wise decision. And I enjoyed answering your question. Thanks for reading it. Happy camera shopping… it is fun!!! :))
