I have two - a Sony Mavica FD-91 that is a few years old, but I keep it because I like the 14x zoom. It takes floppies, which are quickly going out of style, but the Mavicas are good beginner's cameras, super easy to use and transfer pictures. It is also a HUGE camera, so I got a Sony DSC-S85. I love this camera, it is 4.1 MP and takes great closeup macros and the extra pixels help.

I would love to get a Sony DSC-F717, but that is a larger camera. I have been thinking about a Sony DSC-V1 too, 5.0 Megapixel, but I'm still pretty happy with my S85.
