Introduction
Sony DCP-72 is a digital camera of resolution 3.2 MP. Other cameras in same stable are Sony DCP-52 ( 2 MP) and Sony DCP-32( no optical zoom) . Sony DCP-72 is by far the best and also costlier. But features do justify the cost.
Why Digital
Main advantage is that operational cost of clicking incremental pictures is negligible unlike normal SLR cameras. So you can go on clicking pictures and delete tehm if you don’t like them. Another imp feature is the LCD screen which lets you see what you are going to click. As soon as you have clicked it you can preview the picture and if not like it immediately delete it. 2 expendible components are teh memory stick and the battery. Batteries are chargeable so no problems. Memoey stick however is crucial. Higher is the memory capacity higher is the number of pictures which can be stored before they need to be downloaded. I would recommend at least 64 MB. I persoanlly have a 128 MB memory stick.
