Summary: DSC-P31 is great!
Review: A increadable price for 3 filming modes clip motion, regular filming, and slow motion. This Camara also has a mode where if you are in dim light the picture will become brighter from the flash but it will not turn only some places bright. This camara does not have sound or zoom for it's movies but you can change the color of the picture like black and white. This camara has lots of other modes, but these are the top ones.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: After much debate with myself, I orderd, and just received this camera. May I say that it is a VERY nice camera. The free 32meg memory stick is great, and Sony memory sticks are extremely fast. At first, I was annoyed at the 13 hour charge time on the charger, but then realized that there is no law stating that Sony had to give a charger with the camera, so I take it as a gift and consider it to not be a factor in this review. (As a side note however, a 4-hour charger with 4 batteries can be purchased at [local store] for [money]).

On to the image quality: It is very nice, and the images taken with the flash are also very sharp. I took a picture of my keyboard in the dark with slight incandescent light in the background and one would have thought that the shot was taken in pure daylight. Also, for my, and most other people's uses, 1600x1200 should be more than enough.

What really sold me on this camera was the interface. I went to the local Best Buy and played with it for a while and I love the interface! Easy to use, effective, and quick access to important controls.

I highly recommend this camera.

Summary: Excellent balance of features and pricing
Review: After shopping around a bit, I decided on the DSC-P31 and am very happy with my decision. It's easy to use, but at the same time includes some advanced features. The picture quality is impressive and the built in viewing features are a piece of cake. Downloading to the computer is also very easy. Once the driver is installed, all you have to do is plug in the included USB cable and the camera becomes an external drive. All you have to do is copy and paste the jpg files onto your hard drive and delete them from the camera to start fresh. There is no optical zoom, but if you're mostly used to using point and click cameras, you won't miss it.

Summary: Awesome pics for the price
Review: Awesome pics for the price. Fits in my jacket pocket while on the motorcycle. The only thing I really hate is it uses Memory Stick, but that's Mr Sony's way of sticking us for more money.

The best feature, it uses regular AA batteries (use NIMH however)!!! No more propriatary batteries that you can't get a refill for at Disneyland or somewhere like that.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Do not buy this Camera if you do not have 1 GB memory stick
Review: Consumes lot of memory. [900k/ picture]
Takes good picture in Dim night light but worst pictures in day bright light..

Think twice before buying it.....

Summary: Great camera
Review: Excellent camera for the price. The only thing it could really use is optical zoom, but I wouldn't expect that for this price. Everything works great on it, and it will hold 393 640x480 pictures with a 64 meg memory stick. I'm not quite sure what one other reviewer was refering to when he said that it did not come with a cord to put your pictures onto the computer. It comes with a USB to FireWire cord... works great, no real need for a docking station.

Summary: Flash broke after a couple of month
Review: Excited to get this camera at X'mas 2002. I thought my settings were wrong, not considering it is broken after just a couple of month because of my confidence with Sony for its reputation. I didn't use often hence I didn't have a chance to realize that flash is actually broken.

It is now after 90-day warranty, and more than half the price is for repair. I could buy other low-end brand new digital camera with working flash. When I called Servie Center, same set of questions from three Service representatives, and finally determined it is broken. During the conversation, I was asked to plug into AC Power to isolate the problem....?!
It now is a good "daytime only" camera.

Summary: Great Camera for the Price
Review: For the money, this is the best camera for a person who wants to get their feet wet in the world of Digital Photos. It is ready to shoot out of the box with no settings to mess with, but also has many adjustible settings to help make great pictures. It comes with all the accesories you need, but you should plan on getting at least a 32mb Memory Stick. Also, right now Sony is giving a $[money] instant credit for an accessory from their webiste when you register the camera. I used this to buy the Quick charger kit. This comes with an extra pair of NiMH batteries, Quick Charger, and custom camera case. with the discount, it is about [money]. The quick charger will charge 2 batteries in about an hour and a half, or 4 batteries in about 4 hours. The charger included with the camera takes 13 hours to charge 2 batteries, so this is a good investment. The camera is small and easy to hold in your hand. The LCD screen is not big but good enough to size up your photos. The movie mode is OK, no sound but cool for taking little clips. The Twlight modes are great, I have got some great dusk and night pictures using the twlight modes. Overall, After buying a Memory Stick and the Charger kit, I feel I got a great camera for under [money] total.

Rating: 5 stars
