Rating: Summary: Awesome Camera !!!! Review: I enjoyed by taking many pictures with this camera. This is my first camera, so i feel that i took the right decision.
Rating: Summary: A GREAT Camera And A PERFECT Gift! Review: I got this for my mother for Christmas and she's taken about a thousand photos with it.
What I like:
-SOLID build quality
-Quick start-up time
-Focus-assist lamp for GREAT low light shots
-Killer MPEG movie mode with high framerates and sound
-Power miser...the included batteries last for hundreds of shots.
-Easy-to-use USB connection. Treats the camera like a drive!
What I REALLY Like:
-Great photo quality for a common level camera.
Accessories I'd Recommend:
-At least a 256MB Memory Stick PRO. You want the PRO version so you can get the high quality movies.
-A SanDisk Memory Stick PRO reader...so you can just slot the memory stick in the USB reader and treat the card like a regular drive while saving battery power.
-The rapid recharge and case kit....a good deal because you get 2 extra batteries and a rapid charger and a Memory Stick case.
I like my mom's new camera so much that my next camera will DEFINITELY be a Sony! Prolly the P150...
Rating: Summary: Amazing first digital camera for me. Review: I have purchased Kodak, Fujifilm, and Olympus digital cameras all above 4.0 megapixels within a year and this Sony is far better than any of them. The Kodak and Fujifilm had red eye in just about every picture in the light or dark and neither took a good crisp picture. This Sony Cybershot takes excellent clear pictures with NO red eye! In a low to no light setting a red light is seen on your subject before the picture is captured, which adjusts their eyes for the no red eye and it helps you to see the subject. This camera is much faster than the others I've tried, I can't say enough about it...this is a great camera!
PS I did not write the below about no voting buttons?
Rating: Summary: Best camera I ever bought! Review: I just bought this camera and I have had the best time using it. It takes wonderful crisp pictures and is easy and fun to use. It works great in all conditions. This camera was a great buy at 5 megapixels at a great price...better than other cameras that were more expensive at 4 megapixels with features that an everyday user would not need.
Rating: Summary: tiredoflooking Review: I think that this ia an ok camera - If this is your first camera you may not know any better and you will be happy but there are some definite problems!
First pros - It does take pictures and they are nice enough. It is Also small and compact which is great for travel. and if you really need a 5 mega pixel this is a great price. Cons- ifyou need a fast shutter speed for small kids that do things in a blink of an eye there are other camera out there that will do the job better. I can take almost 2 pics with my other camera before this one is ready after taking the first picture. I am not real pleased with the picture quality it blurs around the edges I have taken better pics with my other camera. Also probably not real important but I do not like the how images look on the LCD screen it is kind of distracting.
Rating: Summary: So what if it's made of plastic! Review: If there are disadvantages to having the casing made of plastic, I don't know what they are. This is a wonderful camera at 5 megs for the price. You can shoot in black + white, and sepia formats. About the only minus is the too-small lcd viewfinder display on the back. That's about the only drawback I've encountered. Great value and performace...so far.
Rating: Summary: AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR A PERFECT CAMERA!!! Review: It's my first Digital camera, and I must say, "It's perfect & worth every penny!"With its 5.1 MP Sony lens, the photo quality is amazing! Crisp, Sharp, Colorful and very detailed. I have to say, it works better than some CANON models! I took a photo of a same stationary subject with both cameras. I found out that the SONY's output was better than the CANON's. So I went for Sony. The camera has various features to enjoy including Video recording and OPTICAL/DIGITAL Zoom. Well done SONY! :)
Rating: Summary: Great camera ! Review: Pros: Compact design, very handy, powers on really quick, takes only 2 AA size batt.
Extremely good value for the money-less than 270$ total in one of the online stores (jan/05)
Cons: None so far. But it is made in China, My previous camera - Sony DSCP5 was made in Japan! but it is a matter of trust in quality of labor, I guess...
Several things if you considering buying this camera:
1. To take advantage of shooting movies in Fine mode you need Memory Stick PRO - buy min 512 MB (approx. 85$ on ebay -as of Jan/05) don't settle for a smaller ones, you will buy bigger sooner ot later.
2. Invest some extra money in spare NiMH batteries - I got 8 batt + international 1hour charger for 21$ on ebay - I am NOT going to run out of battery power anytime soon :)
3. Do not take it out without a case!
4. A small tripod (less than 5$ on ebay) allows you to be on your own pictures :)
5. Plenty of shooting modes: several preprogrammed, one complete manual (makes you feel like you own a SLR camera) and one total auto - even a toddler can make a picture
6. Setup allows you to create folders on MStick and switch between them (as you take the pictures) - pictures are organized before transferring to your PC
7. Upgradeable - You can buy e.g. telephoto lens or underwater shooting case
8. The only difference between Sony MStick and other brands (SanDisk) is the price !
9. It has 1.5" LCD - the price for being so compact - you need to be comfortable with such a size. If you need strong glasses for reading, look for another model :) Larger LCD usually means bulky camera or extremely costly compact. Larger LCD is also easier to damage...
10. Included A/V cable allows you to see the pictures/movies on your TV - GREAT feature!
11. Do read the manual, read it also again after you know the basics, you will find something new every time...
12. In my opinion perfect camera for everyday use.
Good Luck! Hope it helps...
Rating: Summary: Good price, features and exellent quality Review: The title sums up what I find to be the most descriptive way to define the Sony DSCP93 Cybershot. The pictures are crisp and can be huge allowing you to reduce the size if you want to without compromising photo quality. The lens extends and retracts very fast and taking a photo is very quick. The flash is a bit weak but if you buy the optional flash it will be pretty much more "professional". Pictures taken in the dark are a bit hard to line up but this happens with other cameras also.
I laugh when I see a thousand cameras at a game all flaring their puny flashes at figures over 50 feet away...hehehe. The camera's aperture can be changed easily allowing shots in darker settings -like fireworks. This camera can be a simple point and click or used with foresight.
It took less than ten minutes to plug the included usb connector line into the computer, insert the disk with the driver on it and download the pictures directly into windows xp home version for viewing, storage or editing.
Some reviewers here and elsewhere often hold every item to a standard set by Hollywood or by comparing to a fully professional unit. Remember that this is a comsumer camera and it is better than many professional units available in the past. Wonderful photos were taken on tintypes and their resoloution was not all that great..
Good photos are in the EYE of the picture taker and the camera should help them realise their goal of capturing what the photographer sees. This Cybershot allows me to take marvelous pictures and the added bonus of video is really a plus-especially for web applications. If you want a solid camera with a small profile and ease of handling, several features not seen in many digital cameras under 400$ and add on options like a water proof housing,telephoto lenses and wide angle lens, get this. We did and it is a real beauty!
Rating: Summary: menus, menus, menus... Review: This camera is fully loaded with features, and if you are the kind of person that is atracted to change settings for each possible lighting, atmosferic, focussing, and so on conditions for each pic you take, this camera is made for you.
If you just want a point and shoot camera (like me) this will also do, but you have to be prepared for the hundred and more pages of instructions and the "easy" menus within menus that lead to menus... be patient, practice a lot before the real thing, and you'll enjoy the thingy.
...amazing video quality, just like Hi8 (buy an 1Gb stick for 45 mins of recording), excellent picture quality, excellente battery life...
