Advantages: Live view, tilting screen, image stabiliser Disadvantages: Slightly noisy
...that I have used a Sony DSC V1 previously, but the controls are generally self-evident and simple to use. It takes CF and Memory Stick duo (I got a 4GB CF card for under £15). Inserting the battery and card is quick and easy; the camera feels solid and well built. You start shooting as soon as the battery is charged and even without much twiddling, the picture quality is superb. It is fast and responsive. The only minor drawback is the shutter noise, ... ...whole experience. (Remember the story of the spy who said it would be suicide to be caught with a hidden spy cam? Far better to turn up and be as obtrusive and touristy as possible with a big noisy camera...) I am not a professional and I do not make very large enlargements. Print quality upto A4 is superb. If you want large prints, you may wish to consider the 350, but the 300 is enough for me. ...

Advantages: Exceptional features at an unbeatable price. Disadvantages: Noisy Shutter.
This camera has exceptional features at a lower price compared to others in its price range. What I like about this camera is it's tilting screen and built-in image stabilizer for astounding shake reduction. There are also multiple Creative Styles for different photo environments without manually tweaking the camera settings. The kit lens also has a longer range (18 - 70mm).
The camera has a very noisy shutter. It's quieter than its predecessor ... ...with this camera, be ready to explain to them why (not to mention the potential lawsuits). One could hear the sound meters away. That said - not for future paparazzis.
Of course besides that, there's everything to love about this camera if you're a an amateur. It has the guts and techs better than other entry-level cameras out there, and for the price, well worth the investment! ...
