Compact design; fast response times; two continuous-shooting modes; strong battery life.
These are the good points of this camera.

Review

Small LCD screen; limited manual settings; photos exhibit a slight softness; wrist-strap hook gets in the way.
Less expensive than the flagship Cyber Shot DSC-S90 but sharing many of its features and capabilities, the entry-level Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S40 provides a good value in a point-and-shoot camera.
