I've lately been doing a lot of "research" on the web about the Sony DSC-V1 and so far have been impressed by what this camera can do. I'm sure you've read the review of this camera in Digital Photography Review (www.dpreview.com) which is quite favorable. Even better would be to check out the individual comments and discussion threads (see Sony forum) on the same website. This camera seems to have everything you want and more -- compact size, external flash/hot shoe and manual control. It's only real competitor is the Sony F717 which is a bigger, heavier camera. IMO forget the other Sony cams; however there are several competitive Canon and Nikon models mentioned in the DP review. I suppose you should also check these out, but for me, the DSC-V1 is the one to get. BTW -- check out the DSC-V1 samples in DP's "gallery" -- they're pretty damn good!
