I bought the Sony DSC-S700 Cybershot after much comparison.
I chose it because it had all the features I wanted to have like
AA bateries. I did not want special batteries. They did not take as many pictures between shots. Buying proprietary batteries were expensive. AA alkaline can be used in a pinch.
I wanted Image stabilizer. Having a camera without one results in alot of blurry pictures. Sony stabilizer is excellent as is the Canon my second choice.
I wanted high sensitivity in low light. I take alot of pictures indoors.
I wanted quality and reliability.
I wanted at least 2″ monitor.
I found alot of features that that are nice. I really like the ability to zoom in on the picture I have already taken to get a closer look. Like facial expressions or details on small items.
All for about 150 bucks…This is really reasonable and takes great pictures at 7.1 mega pixels..

Usually, products from the Sony company are more expensive the cameras of other companies.
If you are interested in getting a digital camera, I’d recommend you a Canon A630 or something in the Canon A Series.

Because it carries the name SONY.
There are more features than just a 3x optical zoom that may influence the cost of the camera.
Sensor size and pixel count, lens quality, camera electronics, aperture and shutter priorities (or not), IS,viewfinders, size of the LCD, batteries used (Li-ion or NiMH) and many more too numerous to count.
