Our comment:
The point of having a point-and-shoot camera is the ability to take photos in a snap. That’s why it is important that digital cameras that belong to the P and S category should have a fast shutter speed for continous shooting when the need arises. And the Cybershot DSC-T70 answers that need effectively. Aside from thise, it has a slew of features that would make it worthy of consideration.
