Tim needed a camera to take to college with him, and I wanted a smaller camera that I could carry everywhere in my purse. Since he likes the features on my camera (it lets you set the speed, light, etc), it made more sense for me to get a new, small camera (Sony Cyber-shot), and to give him my older one.
So now I have a new camera, and lots of new pictures!
One interesting feature is the "smile" setting: the camera waits, locking onto the person's face, and, when it senses a smile, it snaps a picture. At first I thought it was a dumb feature, but now that I've had such good results with it, I think I like it:
It also does very well in extremely low-light with no flash:
I tried the "twilight" setting, which is supposed to flash just enough to provide a small bit of light, but every picture I tried was blurred like a double exposure. Oddly enough, low-light pictures came out better with no flash than a "twilight" flash.
And, another neat feature: it takes pictures in vintage sepia:
This was also low-light without a flash, no tripod.
