SONY SD50 ?

My local STAPLES store
has a sale on the SONY SD50 camera.

$ 129 ( almost too good to be true )

Any opinions on this model ? ( or SONY digicams )
before I rush on down with checkbook in hand ?

One positive;
They promise operation with "regular" alkaline AA cells.
One negative;
The infamous "stick memory"

???
