Sony CyberShot, Guilty Gadget Pleasures

So much as I deplore how we’ve devolved in this Gadget Age, I’m as bad as anyone with a new toy. For my birthday my wife gave me a Sony Cybershot—small and light, 16 megapixel pics, easy and quick to use. But the best wrinkle: you can take pictures underwater. No special case, no nothing. I’ve used it in the pool a few times already and it’s fun. Surprisingly hard to stay put to take a picture under water (basically, you don’t, but take it while swimming).
