Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1
Price: $599.99 - $599.99
Just Plain AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!03/12/07
- Pros:
- Huge LCD, touch screen, special slide show with difference music. You can add stamps to your pictures
- Cons:
- noise when play back video, can't zoom when capture video
For digital cameras in general, I find that either there are too many buttons cluttering next to the LCD, or the buttons are too confusing for me to know what they are used for.
But the Sony N1 has no such problem. Almost all options could be easily reached by 3" touchscreen navigation menu, similar to a Citibank ATM screen. It took me only a few minutes to find the most frequent used functions. The only issue is that the screen will attract fingerprint, so i need to wipe it clean once in a while.
The N1 allow video recording until memory stick pro duo is full, which is good. There is no 3 minute limit like other brands/models. The only issue is that you cannot zoom in/out while you are recording a video.
I am never a Sony fan because I always find the prices of Sony products like Memory Stick Pro Duo are always at a premium compared to other SD or CompactFlash cards. I was comparing the Sony Cybershot N1 and Canon SD550, and find that both are very good. But the N1 really impress me with its compact and elegant design, especially the 3" touchscreen LCD. And with a descent set of manual controls, preset scenery settings, album playback with music, etc., I could not complain a single thing

A small but terrific MP3 player, with great sound03/12/07
- Pros:
- Well-lit color screen, FM tuner w/ recording, easy to use
- Cons:
- Bulky, surprisingly small
I needed an mp3 player for a 20 hour flight so iPod was not an option (since there's no outlets on airplanes). Combined with rechargable batteries, this player is perfect for me. I don't use subscription music so I don't know about those problems. It's not readily apparent how to use Media player playlists, but I have to look into it.
Since I only use small headphones a high bit rate (typical mp3 is 128 - 190) is completely unnecessary. Using Media Player, I can decrease the quality of each song during a sync and fit probably over 1 GB worth of music onto this 512 mb player. I love it!
