Sony Cyber-shot U DSC-U20 > Reviews (16)

After owning the silver version of this camera for a number of years i accidently dropped it in the sea, whilst it vaguely survied it has never been the same. I have therefore replaced it with the black version because i loved it so much. Whilst there is no zoom function in this camera, it does give good quality pictures with the benefit of no moving parts to go wrong (it has survived many a sandy day at the beach!). A drawback with the package available from shops is that it only comes with a 8 megabit memory stick which holds thirty photographs, depending on the quality and once you get into the digital happy snappy vibe that ius often not enough. You can however, purchase additional memory sticks for about £80 from sony or £30 for another, compatible make. Furthermore, it only comes with one set of batteries and additional sets from sony are rather expensive to buy (standard, cheap batteries do not work, they are not powerful enough) they cost £15 each so that's £30 for the two but you can get cheaper ones for £15 approximately for the two.
Overall i think this camera is great. It fits into any pocket, on any pair of jeans and is very simple to use. It is robust and can take a few knocks and bumps (I broke the screen on mine and it still worked perfectly) but it is unfortunately not a swimmer!!
