Not now chief, I'm in the fuckin' zone.
So I bought my fiancée a Sony W390 (W380 in the US?). It has a tendency to over expose everything, especially when using flash. I did a few un-scientific tests against a very inexpensive Samsung, and even the Samsung managed to properly expose scenes and compensate for the flash.

Is this a trait of most cybershots, or did I get a bad one?

I'm definitely going to be buying an SD4000 after this I think.

my Canon S5 IS had a "super macro" mode which could focus from 0cm.

Problem was you were locked to the widest focal length, so it wasn't really all that close up, plus shadows from the big travel zoom were hard to deal with.

Best Buy isn't bad for open box stuff. Once, back when I had very little interest in photography, I bought a Canon S5, regular price $529, open box $299.

I found an old Kodak p&s at goodwill and gave it to my kid. I actually really like the look it gives...like a digital film disposable. (f4.5 lens, flash, 2mp)

I love my J1. The 18.5 mm is sharp as hell and basically welded onto mine. Focus is crazy fast. Shutter lag is nonexistent.

There's also a 32mm 1.2 available :D
