The Power of the Sony T90

Recently, the Sony T90 digital camera stood out to me, a lot. I was playing with it at Future Shop and I fell in love with its slick look and its 3" touch screen LCD monitor. It was only a matter of minutes before I decided that it was time to make the upgrade and say goodbye to my sister's Nikon Coolpix 2500. Reading the specs merely confirmed my purchase:
