Raise your hand if you have ever left your digicam’s memory card at home. Okay, now get your hands on Sony’s latest 10-MP shooter, which packs an impressive 4 GB of internal memory (enough for almost 1,000 images at maximum resolution) into a svelte body. The 3.5 inch touchscreen LCD nearly swallows the back of this camera and will sort and display your 10.1 MP photos (with up to 4x optical zoom) in an array of options: by date event , favorites, and even faces only. Sony includes the essentials, such as face and smile detection, image stabilization, and manual options. The onboard software provides fun photo-editing options, such as partial-color filtering (to single out one color and convert the rest to black and white), fish eye lens, and a retro filter to creating a subtle spotlight effect. Take your pick of silver, dark gray, red, pink, and champagne gold models.
