It's got a nice zoom and megapixel size. I have a lower quality version of the same camera (less megapixels and smaller zoom) and I like it. I mean if all your doing is snapping pictures and putting them on the computer or printing them out the camera is good. I don't know anything about sony cameras but I haven't had any problem with the olympus camedia cameras and software. I'm on my second one. My first one was a hand me down from my brother and incidentally my son got a hold of it and managed to break it.
