I'm very satisfied with my Sony DSC-S75 digital camera. It has an excellent Carl Zeiss lens, can shoot QuickTime movies with sound (very handy) and it's battery life is outstanding: around 120 picts (1.2 MB each), a quarter with flash, always being turned on and off during city visits. My best friend has a Nikon 990 (great camera) and but has to recharge 2 to 3 times more... Alex
