Summary: A great point-n-shoot camera with some advanced features
Review: To begin, I'd just like to say that I am very happy with this camera. It's suits my needs as a beginning photographer very well -but it is by no means a 'pro-consumer camera.' I believe that the camera is solidly constructed (even though it is a plastic body). It feels very sturdy and well constructed. An aluminum body like the P9 would obviously be more appealing, but I can't expect much more than high-grade plastic from a sub-300 dollar camera.
I'd rate the feature set of the camera as its weakest attribute -keep in mind that i rated the features as 'good.' This is clearly a point and shoot camera with enough options to produce excellent pictures in nearly every situation. Keep in mind, to attain excellent pictures in difficult lighting conditions, you must learn the menus and how the features like Twilight mode. The only features I would like to see on this camera is the ability to manually adjust the aperture and shutter speed. I think the camera does an excellent job of automatically choosing, but the option of manually choosing would be nice. Also, the 2x optical zoom is a little paltry... 3x optical zoom would be nice. I guess I'd have to spend an extra $100 dollars for the P71 to get those features and 3Mp resolution. Oh, and the lack of sound while recoding videos is a little annoying, but I think that shooting videos with digital camera's is rather gimmicky and useless. This feature, or lack there of, means little to me.
I felt the image quality was very good...excellent for 4x6 pictures and perhaps slightly larger, but you can always have a higher resolution:) I really am very please with the picture quality and I'm rather amazed at the clarity for such a low budget camera.
The menus are very intuitive and I have only glowing praise for the user interface of the camera. I felt all of the menus were well designed. Please take the time to learn the menus...it might really help your picture quality. Overall, an excellent user interface.
Lastly, I felt without a doubt, that this camera was an excellent value. It comes with everything you need to get started. You can fit 30 pictures at the highest resolution (standard compression) on the bundled 16MB memory stick. This may seem a little small, but it's equivalent to one roll of film (and of course reusable). Also, I've seen prices for 128MB memory sticks for around $60-$70 so the prices are very comparable to SmartMedia and other types of camera memory. I'm very please with the included recharable batteries and charger. Sure it takes 13hrs to charge the batteries, but I still think it's an excellent value for the money. There are no additional costs with this camera -unless you want a faster charger or more memory. Oh, and the batteries last an exceptionally long time. Mine haven't even come close to running out yet, so I don't know quantitatively how long they last, but I already pleased with the battery life. Overall, this a good buy for consumers looking for a point-and-shoot camera for 4x6 prints (and occasionally larger). I think this also good for someone just beginning to learn photography because it does offer some primitive manual adjusts, like adjustment of the film speed, and of course all the benefits of digital photography. Namely, instant feed-back of pictures and no film development costs. I'm pleased with this camera....a good buy.

Summary: w0rd
Review: i haven't had the camara too long, but so far i really like it. the only complaint i have at this point is that if you don't hold extremely still when taking a picture, especially if you are using the zoom at all, they picture will be fuzzy.

Summary: SONY CYBERSHOT P51
Review: This digital camera for the price is one of the better digital cameras on the market. The clarity is remarkable, and the user friendly usb port downloading is great! I have only bought sony since I have heard of bad reports from other brands, I was sold from the first images that I viewed.

Summary: Good deal for a great camera!
Review: First of all - the information that...is showing is incorrect. I have my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P51 sitting in front of me - it DOES have a 2x optical zoom as well as a 6x digital zoom. We bought this camera mostly to take pictures of our kids to e-mail to family overseas. Something it does very well. The pictures look great - the features the camera offers are even better! The features - (as listed on the box)
2.0 mega pixels
6x digital zoom
2x optical zoom
mpeg movies (without sound)
multi burst Also in the box are the following -
battery charger
size AA nickel metal hydride rechargable batteries
video cable (to connect and view on TV)
memory stick (16mb)
USB cable
CD-Rom Overall this is a great camera - at a good price. I would recommend going to a store to look over your options though!

Summary: Good camera- until it stops working
Review: I really loved this camera- until the screen recently went black and all pictures came out black as well. I wanted to get another Sony because of the ease of use and decent pics I got (don't like my dad's Olympus camera, have to use the manual just to figure out how to turn it on). However, I read the reviews and found out I had the same problem as many other people. I looked up reviews for other Sony models, and they had problems as well. Guess I won't be getting another Sony.

Summary: LCD Black Screen
Review: Mine died after 16 months of use, I was thinking about buying one of their $4,000 dollar TV's. If they don't fix this $250 camera I'm not spending any more money with them. I "formerly" thought of them as a high end electronics manufacturer.
Addendum: I spoke with Sony on line. They said address your letters of complaint to:
Office of the President
Manager of Customer Satisfaction
Sony Electronics, 1 Sony Drive
Mail Drop 138
Park Ridge, New Jersey 07656
I will add a follow up to this later and let you know what their response is.

Summary: black lcd
Review: I've been very pleased with this camera for two years. I don't take a lot of pictures, but it's simple and easy to use, and suits my needs.
It just recently started with the blacked out lcd, so I went to the reviews to see if this was a problem. Lo and Behold, it was and there was the solution. I admit whacking a camera does'nt say much for Sony, but it shows how shopping on Amazon pays off.
Since I don't have an extended warrenty, I'll just hit it till it dies.

Summary: A great camera for what you get
Review: First off, I'd like to say that I've had this little camera for three years now. I'm now doing the research to buy a new one with higher MP, but this one is still going strong.
If you're the type of person who just wants a point-and-shoot digital camera, this one will be pretty good for you. It only has 2 megapixels, but the extra features are pretty handy. You have Black & White mode, Sepia mode, Negative mode, and Solarize mode. It takes little mpeg movies (without sound) and you CAN zoom in and out while recording video- I've heard of cameras where you can't do that. It takes pretty good pictures with good battery life (I love the fact that it came with rechargeable batteries AND you can use AA's) and I've loved using this camera.
Now onto the cons. If you use AA batteries, it will eat them up. Your best bet is to use the rechargeables. If you use the digital zoom, the pictures become more blurred, but that happens on all digicams. It takes a while to start-up, but the thing that bugged me most was the time it took to turn the flash on. If you're low on battery life and you press the flash button, prepare to wait a little while. It also takes a while to take a picture if you use the flash as well. The flash function on this camera is poor.
I didn't have any problems with this until the past few months, but what did I expect? It's lasted three years already! I began to experience the "black screen" problem and just recently, it began flickering as well. But what do I do when that happens? I take out the batteries and put them back in again, but if that doesn't work, I just drop it on a (carpeted) floor and voila! The impact seems to make it work again.
Again, you get what you pay for, plus a little more. If you're going to buy a digital camera and have the money to burn, I would suggest investing in a newer model. But if not, you have yourself a fine little camera right here.

Summary: yes, another black screen
Review: I purchased this camera in November 2002. For almost 2 years it functioned perfectly, then about 6 weeks ago, I suddenly had a black screen. It is now in for repair for the black screen problem for the third time in 6 weeks. Fortunately, I purchased a 4 year extended warranty policy, and it hasn't cost me for the attempted repairs. I didn't know the problem could be corrected by whacking the camera! However, under the extended warranty no lemon policy, after this 3rd attempt to fix the problem, I will be able to get a full purchase price credit towards a new camera of my choice. (Thanks Best Buy). I will stick with the Sony because I have the extra memory sticks, but I will definately buy the extended warranty again.
