I had this camera for Christmas 2006 (£170 on-line from Pixmania) and so far have been very impressed, especially with the 7.2 Mega Pixels ! My last camera was 3.2 and boy can you tell the difference.
Once you've read the instructions a couple of times and had a practise it becomes quite easy to use. Very good for low light settings with it's ISO 1000 top setting (Although some picture noise results). It has a 3x zoom lens equivalent to 38-114mm in 35mm terms. Not many manual controls as you would expect from a compact but it has many auto and scene functions (Snow, twilight, beach etc). The large 2.5" screen makes using the camera much easier and the optical viewfinder comes in useful when it's too bright to see the screen (Now quite rare on compacts)
Only two things to moan about really, one it doesn't come with a case and two you have to connect the cable that comes with the camera to download pics to your PC, I'd prefer a normal USB cable.
All in all very impressed, decent features and not too expensive, you can't go far wrong here.

UPDATE : Camera developed a fault with the zoom button and I found to my horror that nowhere is interested in fixing even the smallest problem, Jessops wanted £175, that's £5 more than the camera cost and Sony want well over £100 up front with no guarantee of fixing it ! In the end I downloaded a manual and fixed it myself for £3.
I don't think this is peculiar to Sony cameras but all compacts so beware !

This is a great camera I definatly recommend it, it takes excellent sharp pictures most of the time pictures can be noisy occsionly usully in poor light but most compacts do. It has a lot of features for a point and shoot camera, I read up a lot on compact cameras and this is the best of the lot,
very little noise distortion very sharp pictures, and can zoom in on them on the camera once the pic is taken and picks up lots of detail,
movie mode is excellent I was shocked at quality of it it as good as video camera and downloads quick to pc via usb,
its very compact about 0.9 inch thick has a 2.5 inch screen is very compact to carry it around which is why i bought it, its easy to upload picks to pc loads them straight to a saved file so handy, the standerd memory built in is 20 pics at full 7.2 mega pixels thats great compared to theres,
the battery last ages which is great and feels very well constructed durable im so impressed with this camera great value for money and this (w-70) has more features than the w-100 strange but true, id save your money and get this w-70 the w-55 is good too which can be bought in t*scos etc for 160, but id source ex shop display ones as i did of ebay there as new just be on display, they do pop up at great price mine sas new with warrenty for only 110 of hitchen deals several others have had buy it nows too,
also the screen scratches easily on this camera so have to be careful its in its case and not leave it face side down on surfaces
sorry if this is a bit mish mashed i just wanted to get down all the things i thought is good about the camera hope it helps im sure you wont regret buying one, there much better than competition, i.e nikon and samsung, the fuji film f5 is a close second though

hope this has helped even if a little :)
