For that I will never buy a Sony. I hope that the information is helpful to those who are considering to buy Kodak DC 4800. The pictures are outstanding when compared to my Nikon CP 950. See for yourself below. Nikon 950 vs. Kodak DC 4800 .
Pictures speak better than words.
Note that Kodak is a 3 MPixel camera, while Nikon is a 2 MPixel one. It would certainly be better to compare Nikon CP 990 with the Kodak. For this reason, my comments for the comparison is not related to the advantages coming from the larger pixel number of the Kodak DC 4800, but on general picture taking and the quality aspects of the overall picture coming from autofocus, exposure, color saturation, white balance, etc. The pictures below were taken from the same places, within at most 5 minutes from each other. Automatic settings of the cameras were used.
