Just some general questions:

Do all Sony cameras calculate the exposure time used while shooting in a scene mode in the same way? For example, if I shot a picture at night with either the N2, W55, W90, W100 or W200, at 5MP (or higher), would all pictures turn out about the same? Or would different cameras calculate exposure times differently? I'd use that twilight mode a lot, do so now with my W1 and it takes great pictures in that mode, well exposed, not too dark. Could I expect about the same with a newer Sony camera and/or one of those listed? Or might they underexpose the picture in that mode?

If the picture quality should be good, even for a less expensive Sony, maybe that would be all I need, as I'm not using complicated gadgets, such as photo albums inside the camera, writing on the picture, large LCD, touch screen. I'd prefer just to pay for the quality of the pictures, not the gadgets. So, would you say pictures taken in twilight mode should be about the same, no matter what camera is being used, or are there differences? I wouldn't be using the other modes much, just twilight for dark pictures and regular mode. Pictures taken in bright sunlight should have nice, vibrant colors.

Thanks!
