Sony DSC-W5

I'm thinking about getting the Sony DSC-W5 for my wife. We have a Sony
digital now and it's great but doesn't have any optical zoom. I won the
camera in case you're wondering why I'd buy a camera with no optical zoom.

Any opinions on the DSC-W5? Other recommendations? Staples has the W5 for
$200...which seems to be competitive.

I haven't kept up on what has changed with the new models but I got a Sony
DSC-W1 almost 2 years ago and it has been a great point and shoot camera! It
takes great pictures, it's fast, easy to use and reliable. Get her the Sony
semi soft case with it. They are overpriced but pretty nice and offer good
protection.

Best of luck.
