I have owned my Sony DSC-S70 for many years now. I bought it for just under $600 at the Sony store at Woodbury Commons, NY. It was marked B Stock on the box which indicated it was refurbished. At the time, they were very hard to find and it was regarded as the best available digital camera on the market. Since then, I have tried several different digital cameras but none come close to the accuracy of the color reproduction of the DSC-S70. This can be attributed to the superior optics designed by Carl Zeiss. The movie mode is great too although, your limited to 15 second clips. I have posted some pics here on Amazon. Take a look at the quality of the macro shots. It may not be the fastest or the most portable camera but it does take consistently good pics. It also takes RAW images which you will not find on most point and shoots out there today. In order to get this feature, you would have to step up to a DSLR. Enough jibber jabber. Check out the pics.

Easy-to-use, light-weight and always dependable, this great camera takes perfect pictures. So simple --- just click --- whether in bright sun or in low light (with or without flash), under almost any conditions. What a delight! Our Sony DSC-S70 has proven itself time and again, so --- even though we have two excellent Canon digital SLRs and all sorts of lenses --- we keep it with us virtually everywhere we go, both for backup shots and as our primary camera when we need a comfortable carry. It's a real winner!

Even after I have purchaced my new A100 10 mega pixle SLR camera I still find myself takeing this 7 year old DSC-S70 with me on day trips, the picture quality is amazing even for todays standards. It wont accept my new 1 and 2GB memory sticks, but that is expected. Awesome job Sony!
