The Sony is an excellent camera. SOny's use the Carl Ziess(sp?) lenses which are, arguably, the best lenses you will find in these cameras.

As far as your burst mode requirements, I do not know. When I was looking two years ago, the Olympus's had SOny beat on the burst mode numbers.

4 mp is more than enough.

If you like the camera and are comfortable with the price, it is a fine choice.
