Bottom Line: I recommend Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S40 if you an inexpensive 4.1-Megapixel digital camera with good features and performance. It is easy...

Pros: EVERYTHING! Sleek design, great stills, MPEGs, manual settings, button layout, LCD, Sony quality at ~$190!
Cons: Memory Sticks relatively expensive, zooming unchangeable during MPEG recording, documentation could be better organized.
Bottom Line: I'd recommend the DSC-S40 to anyone looking for an excellent digital camera with plenty of room for growth while not breaking the bank.

Pros: Good pictures from a small, inexpensive, 4.1 megapixel camera
Cons: Proprietary memory stick, minor usability complaints
Bottom Line: Sony Cybershot DSC-S40 isn't right for pros or enthusiasts, but for ordinary folks like you and me, IT'S A WINNER!

Pros: Fast autofocus. Sharp pictures. Great VGA movies. Semi-wide angle. Great AA battery life.
Cons: Low light photos are noisy, lack detail. Small screen font. Expensive memory sticks. Underpowered flash.
Bottom Line: Small, yet takes AA batteries! Wider than average lens! VGA movies! Great battery life! But low-light photos are unusually bad.
