some friends recommended it as they're very pleased with theirs, an i only read good reviews...so i think it's quite a good choice :)
and no one posted any downsides yet (exepct for exploding...), so yeah, it could be the right choice

one downside of sony cameras that i've heard of would be the type of memory cards those cameras use. i've been told they're more expensive and even a bit slower than cards like compact flash or smart media.
is this true?

Looks great, but if I would be buying a cam with non-exchangable lenses, I'd look at something with a 10x zoom. Check out the Olympus C-750. I don't know how much more (or less, this is Sony after all) it costs. It has a lens that goes from 38-380mm (SLR equivalent).

The Olympus is less, but it's a 4Mpix cam. Still, I'd think about that zoom range. Compare the optics too. Both have 2.8 as the largest aperture, but the Olympus wins at the zoom range with it's largest aperture of 3.7. The Sony goes to max zoom of 28mm and has a max aperture of 4 at that range. The Olympus goes to 63mm and still manages to go below 4. Maybe the sensors are different sizes, but it can't differ that much.

One advantage for the Sony is the larger ISO setting possible, 800 compared to 400 for the Olympus. The Sony only takes memory sticks, which is a big downside economically. The only Sony that takes CF is the F828.

thanks...i'll check the reviews for those that you mentioned. but im pretty sure they all cost much more :(
the thing is i don't need some really great camera as im only going to take some pics here and there, it's more for fun than anything serious :)

Here the Sony is more expensive. The Sony is probably an excellent camera, but you pay for the Sony name and the memory sticks, and don't win that much in comparison.
