Comments:
We like this point-and-shoot for its balance of image quality, features, and style.

Review Verdict: We recommend this reasonably priced point-and-shoot for limited everyday use. No particular feature astounded us, but the overall balance of size, image quality, and usability is pretty impressive.

Comments:
The Sony CyberShot DSC-L1 packs a 4.1-megapixel imager, 3X-optical zoom lens into a stylish little package just smaller than a candy bar. Measuring just 3.7" x 1.7" x 1.1" (95 x 44.3 x 25.7mm), the L1 is powered by a InfoLithium battery pack, and features

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

This review has been completed using a production model DSC-L1. Product shots have been reshot where necessary, and all sample photos are from the production camera.

Review Verdict: The DSC-L1 uses the tiny Memory Stick Duo card, which is yet another expensive and proprietary memory card format from Sony. Duo cards come in sizes as large as 1GB, but you'll only find a 16MB one in the box. I highly recommend buying a larger one, with
