Buying a Cam - 01. Choosing a cam

Come 21st May and it shall be 21 years since I have lived on planet Earth. This shall be my first birthday away from home and family. As such, it's upto me to buy myself a special birthday gift here (apart from the other gifts that my friends here may give me (who knows?)). Since I am badly in need of a camera right now, I have decided to buy myself Sony's DSC-S650 Cyber-shot Digital Camera . Here's how it looks:
It comes with a 7.2 Megapixel Super HAD CCD and a 2.0" LCD Screen. The only catch I have learnt about till now is that there is no feature for playing sound for movie playback on camera.

Well, let's see if I actually buy this beauty. Hope we can be partners in crime here in the tempting city of Ithaca :P

P.S. My blog badly needs some pics to go alongwith it. The beauty of Ithaca and Cornell cannot be expressed in words; one should experience it for oneself. I hope the pics act as a good substitute though.
