5.0 MP Digital Camera - SONY - comments?

Hello,

Thinking of getting a Sony DSCV1 5MP Digital Camera.

I need the camerai for web work and posters - large posters. So I
want to keep detail of shots I take.

I noticed it only saves in jpg, tif and mpg. Would I need any other
formats? So far, .jpg has always been fine.

Warranty is 1 year.

Can someone suggest a competitor? Or views on this camera?

Sony takes proprietary ram sticks - is this an issue?

Any other things I should perhaps check on before buying a digital
camera?

Thanks,

Tmuld.

I bought this camera about 1 month ago and really like it especially the
following;
compactness, quality metal construction, Zeiss lens, hot shoe, low light
focusing, ISO 100-800,
auto or manual operation,
buy a 2nd battery
I shot fine jpg instead of tiff mode on a recent trip at 3 m/p because I
only had 2 -128mb sticks... was impressed with my pics.

For very large posters that look decent, you need very high resolution.
If you can't afford a 14 megapixel digital camera, then I suggest
that you use a film camera, and scan the film with a film scanner.
