Pros:

Perfect sized pocket digicam, stylish, easy to use, tough enough to go anywhere
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 captures very good snapshots and video, is fast to focus and shoot, and has plenty of fun shooting options for those looking to do more than just take pictures.

Cons:

Expensive, poorly designed movie stop/start b
The TX66's 18-megapixel resolution results in large file sizes, but doesn't make the photos any more usable for enlarging and cropping. Plus, its size and controls will be too small for some users.
