This camera automatically reduces blurry effect, which is cool.

Pros: better cosmetic style, i like the newer batteries charger
Cons: not notably better resolution than previous CHEAP cyber shots. BAD LOW LIGHT PICS/OVEREXPOSED WITH FLASH.
my last camera was an older generation sony cyber-shot dsc-p73 which i got from walmart in 2007 for barely over $100 including a 1 gig memory stick. recently it died after 1000's of pictures and obvious abuse i've put it through. the old cam is my basis for comparison. i'll get to the point and say what this new dsc-s950 camera DOESN'T have, that my old dsc-p73 DID have. i bought this at best buy with a discounted carrying case for about $150. THE BAD: -first and foremost-DOES NOT TAKE GOOD LOW LIGHT PICS. i've played around with the settings put in order to take a low light pic and be able to make out the subject you basicly HAVE to settle for an excessive amount of blinding flash in order to capture the subject. my older, cheaper p73 did better than this latest camera. -regardless of the "10 mp" rating, when you really look close to the pics you take or zoom in you see how much blur, haze and subtle distortion there is in the pics, compared to my older, cheaper "4.1MP" camera!!! NOT GOOD. -it costs more than the last camera, of similar level. my old one was built nearly 5 years ago now. it cost less and did more to sum it up. -this camera doesn't have the easy adaptability for different lenses like my old one -this "10 MP" camera takes slightly more pixelated pics. although the pics are a larger file. resolution doesnt seem horribly better than some high end cel phone cameras. NOT GOOD. -the new functionality in this more recent generation of cyber shot is better after practice. they have essentially eliminated buttons and items on the selection wheel and integrated MOST of the functions into the program making the design look more clean. HOWEVER, the elimination of some functions (primarily a function for better low light pics) really puts this model out there as a lower end cyber shot. -the screens on these newer generation cyber shots are bigger and very good display. but you have to consider thats just all the more display there is to brake vs. the older style, smaller digital display + old school view box like one the older generation cyber shots. verdict:if you are bent on buying a new model cyber shot and only that will do. -do not settle for this model go up a few notches to a higher model because you can get and older generation cyber shot for less that actually has more functionality. THE GOOD: -lighter than older generation cyber shot. -in the end, the is a lower/lowest grade camera in its cyber shot class so maybe this should be expected? -the cosmetic style of the camera is nice. -i like the newer generation batteries/charger -slightly-better zoom than what you got for this much money 5 years ago.

I just got this camera and it`s safe to say it`s wonderful .I like that fact that I can see the pictures just before I delete them .I also like the fact that it takes the most clearest pictures I have ever seen .I would recommend this camera to a friend without hesitation.
