Just got the Nikon Coolpix S70 for my daughter for her birthday.
12 mp and a touch screen viewer.
seems to take better pictures than my A-300 based on a few shots she took around the house last night, and the ISO can be pushed to 6400 vs the 3200 on the sony. Makes for some really good night shots with that ability.
Camera was 299.00, 8 gig memory card was 15.00 and we put the 2 year replacement warrenty on it for the 74.00.
takes the pictures and video, and you can add sound to the pictures. So if you take a picture of something, you can say what the picture is at the time you take it then it will play your voice recording back when the pictures are viewed.
I think I actually like it better than the Sony A-300 except for the fact that the sony can switch lenses.
If she ever lets me play with it Ill do some comparison photos between the cameras here and show the difference.
