Good Cameras & Bad

My mother uses a Nikon Coolpix 5600, 5.1 mp with a 3x zoom that takes mediuim quality pictures and uses rechargeable AA Energizer batteries that very rarely wear out. I keep hearing that the square batteries are better and last longer. I don't like the delay between pressing the picture button and the actual film exposure.

We have a Sony 7.2 mp DSC-S650, 3x zoom, with 1000 ISO .Any opinion? More info forthcoming...

My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. -- Ronald Regan Farewell Address to the Nation --
