My three year old Sony DSC-V1 never fails to amaze. This image was resized to 50% and cropped.  Using full manual mode, I dropped the flash to the lowest setting and used a larger F-stop to put the whole toad in focus at once.  I just ordered a new DSC-T100 today for a more pocketable camera.  I also tried the Casio V7, but the picture quality was terrible.  At any zoom level the pictures were blurry and the color was splotchy.  The Sony on the other hand had sharpness near my V1, with awesome image stabilization.
