The best NiMH AAA are only 750 mAh or about one third the capacity of AA. That will make for fewer shots - I'm guessing about 100 per charge compared to the 300+ my Canon gets. Minor nit if you don't like carrying lots of batteries. The flash seems mediocre even by digital point and shoot standards. The other thing is the fixed focal length at 33mm effective - that's a relatively wide angle. With only 2 Mpixels, you won't have much room for blowing up to recover to the equivalent of a longer lens. Nice try Sony, but I'd keep looking.
