I would love to hear what you think of it after you get it. It sounds like a great camera to keep handy for those special moments. Great to keep in the holder between the S2K's seats.

picture quality is no good at all!!! my webcam has the same amount of pixels as the camera your g/f is buying. save the $40. it's cool and all, but not worth printing the pictures she takes with'em b/c it's gonna be very pixelated. just thought you'd like to know

I tell you, the Sony U20 is an awesome camera if you are looking for something that really good pictures for the size. A bit pricey but you're getting something that uses memory sticks and takes 2.0megapixel pictures with good quality pics.

My friend has one. It's pretty cool. Holds 400 pics and quality is decent.

I seriously could not believe it was a real camera when I first saw it. It looked like a key fob.

Our old Sony only takes 640x480 and while the pictures aren't great they're better than nothing. I'm thinking about this camera just to hav something small and cheap to carry.

For $40 it seems like a good deal. You might consider this, you could also get a cellphone with a camera that is rated at the same pixels.

Both would have their pro's/con's
