Sony Cybershot DSC-T1 5.1MP | 10.16.2004

A few friends and family members have been asking my advice about digital cameras lately. I think everyone is gearing up for the holidays and wants to be ready to capture the perfect picture OR wants to think about it as a gift to themselves. Once again, Sony proves that they have the design and functionality in the bag. Not only is the T1 thin and light, it has a generous preview screen, flip down lense protector and best of all, it's made mostly of metal. That's right, METAL!! In an age where everything is cast plastic, the look, feel and durability of metal raises the bar beyond all except for those few boutique product companies.

If I didn't already own a Nikon D100, I would seriously consider this camera. And in case you're still wondering how many megapixels to get and what it all means, here's my quick cheat sheet:

2-4 mp - great image quality for enlarging up to 8 x 10
4-5 mp - overkill if you're not going to consistently be printing enlargements above 4 x 6
5-7 mp - semi-professional quality and expensive.
