More on Digital Cameras...

In class, we were asked to look for a camera from the Greater Vancouver list. What really grabbed my attention was the Sony DSC-T70. It has a nice, slim and stylish design that allows you to comfortably keep it in your pocket. What's also great about this 8.1 megapixel camera is that is has an 3 inch LCD touch screen. It removes the inconvenience of buttons to allow the huge LCD screen to fully capture your pictures. This camera also has the Super SteadyShot image destabilization and very high sensitivity to prevent and picture blur. It also has a powerful 3.0x optical zoom, and face and smile detection.

You can get it at Best Buy or Future Shop for around $350 (not including taxes)
