Summary: Best digital camera on the market
Review: I purchased the Sony DSCP52 a week ago and I am VERY impressed. The picture quality is excellent (3.2MP), the screen is easier to see than many other digital cameras I've seen, and the battery life is much longer than many others I've looked at. Sony makes the best digital camera on the market.

Summary: If Only
Review: If only this camera had a larger zoom range! This is what I keep asking myself time after time. I love the picture quality of the camera, and the fact that you can switch the mega-pixel range from under 1 mega-pixel to 3.2 mega-pixels comes in very handy indeed. I purchased this camera because of the size, just small enough to carry around wherever I go and yet, large enough so that my fat fingers have space to get to all the buttons.I highly recommend this little gem! So, why only four stars, well, I would have liked a larger zoom and IMO EVERYONE has room for improvement. Ciao!

Summary: Most Bang for the Buck....this is the Best Camera
Review: Its a sweet deal for a sweet 3.2 pixel camera. Got it for $239, then added a Lexar 128 MB memory stick for $39 bucks. The P7 may have one more X of optical zoom (and be a bit smaller when turned off), but who cares...? Smart zoom corrects that without losing resolution and/or you can clean it up on the PC if need be any way. The movie feature is fun to play with, and the overall features are very user-friendly and intuitive. You'd have to be a moron not to love this camera. But do your homework, read reviews, ask your sketchy buddies, see what they like or dislike about digital cameras. I gurantee you'll be back to Sony and buying this model or its big brothas.

Summary: broken in 7 months! Hardly ever used! Sony says tough luck!
Review: Sony dscp52 no longer opens the lens cover buzzes and acts erratically. This camera susrained no physical damage yet couged it up in 7 months. I contacted sony about this camera and the "customer service" rep informed me that even though the parts were still under warranty the labor charge for this 200 buck camera would come to 150 bucks.
150 bucks!!!!!
I told them iI was not satisfied with their charges and they told me that that was the flat rate for labor and there was nothing else they could do.
What a ripoff!
Beware of sony's repair policies folks.....

Summary: This is a GEM!
Review: This camera is a great gem for the price and offers great versatility. The camera is very good quality (sturdy) and can take a few bumps and scratches, unlike many other flimsy cameras in this price range. I have owned digital cameras before and many of the typical problems are solved with the P52. I take a lot of pictures at family events, and vacations. Its a great take along camera. PROS -
- The camera turns on super fast, like in 2-3 seconds it is ready to take a shot. (this is an annoying problem with many digital cameras) And it also saves the pictures to the memory card is very fast, less than 1 second and its ready again to shoot. - The battery useage is excellent. Even with regular alkaline batteries I've been able to take pictures for several hours, at 2Mpix Normal setting. With the included rechargeable Sony batteries it is superb on battery life. - Camera menu is very extensive IF you want to use it. If not you can leave it on "Auto" and the pictures turn out great, most of the time. - Can take pictures in COMPLETE DARKNESS. This I have done many times using the flash on red-eye reduction setting, it works in a regular size room (10 x 14). Great for sneaking up on sleeping family members and taking funny pictures. The flash is very powerful up to about 9-10 feet. CONS
- The pictures tend to have redish atifacts in them, particularly when taking very close up shots of people. - Pictures taken out doors can sometimes look too bright, almost washed out. You can make some adjustments to the ISO to fix this problem. - Movie mode eats up the memory stick quickly, so I had to upgrade to a 256MB Memory Stick Pro ($65 at www.buy.com) and now its great. - Marco mode ...forget it, not good on this camera. So if you plan on taking close up shots of flowers or something, choose another camera. Overall this a gem of a camera for any regular picture taking, and can even be used by kids without having to fiddle with a lot of controls. Just press the power button and you are ready to take pictures. It really takes the hassle out of digital photography.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: This is my first venture into digital...heard a lot about megapixels..settled for 3.1. Now I wish I had gone for a less mp with big zoom. At VGA setting, you still get good 4'X6'. You can size up to higher resolutions afterwards for cropping or editing. However, this seriously lacks good zoom. If you wish not to distract your subjects, this isn't the right choice. Also, it needs tons of light to take good pics and I hate to use its off-balanced flash. It can't even capture simple movements in burst mode without making it blurry. I don't understand why they have this movie mode. It has such a horrible quality, Sony should not put its name on such a product. Now positives:
Good entry level point and shoot camera.
