It does. I had a chance to snap a couple at lunch today.
Eventually I want an SLR as well. I want to have a nice full manual camera, and then this one which I will use every day since it's easy to carry.
The other thing is that the extra megapixels can act as extra zoom. Basically I require my camera to be small enough to carry, and as such 3x is the zoom level that is available on most cameras. But this takes such frigging huge pictures, I can practically triple that zoom level just with image resolution
Also, it has a Zeiss lens. Awesome.
The thing lists for $349, I got the guy at Circuit City to give it to me for $300. Basically sony was able to fit the new 13.6MP chip (just came out) into their cybershot casing that they use with their 7 MP (and one other I think) camera... I think that's why the cost stayed down. This camera is a STEAL even at the MSRP IMHO.
That's a waste of an SLR IMHO.
This camera has manual mode and for taking non-time-sensitive shots I will certainly take advantage of it.
Thanks dude! I was able to take a few quick pictures at lunch today and am very happy with this thing. It friggin rocks and has TONS of features. I love Sony, my family and I have always bought their electronics whenever they were an option.
Thanks.
nice. Yeah basically I can zoom in 3x and then use the resolution to get an image of her getting out of the shower haha.
Here's a few from lunch. I bet I'll have more soon, I want to mess around with this thing a lot.

Flower under the tree above... very happy with the way this came out considering it was in the shade:
Also, the stabilization on this thing is REALLY fucking good. I've never used a camera that the image stabilizer worked so good on.
