Summary: My First Digital Camera
Review: I decided to purchase a digital camera after I used an old Panasonic 1.3 mega pixel at work. I did a little research and decided I wanted a small entry-level camera with the latest features. I got just what I wanted in this ultra-compact model with all the bells and whistles. It's a breeze to use. I was up and shooting within minutes of opening the box. I'm not so impressed with the battery life so I ordered an additional battery and a charger. Be prepared to fork out a couple of hundred bucks for accessories like at least128MB of memory, a memory stick reader, extra battery, and charger. Overall, I don't think I could have made a better choice for my first digital camera.

Summary: dsc p5
Review: I got this camera last month. I chose it, because it is pretty small and 3.2 megapixel. Here are my comments: Advantages:Small, 3.2 megapixel, zoom is goodDisadvantages:you will need a large capacity memory stick and a spare battery is necessary. It is not great at night shots. It is not fast when you are taking photos, i mean yo gotta wait like at leat 2 seconds to take another shot. Even dsc p71 is faster.

Summary: This camera ROCKS!
Review: I have always been anxious about buying a digital camera, did some research and decided to buy this one. I have the Minolta Maxxum HTsi...still love it but fear that it will now sit on the shelf more often now that I bought the
SONY DSC-P5. I highly recommend this SONY digital camera!! I went to a holiday party the other night, and shot pictures and short video clips all night long (6pm to 2am). I did have an extra battery with me and a 64 MB card! The pictures were crisp with great color! The zoom feature is great! The short video clips are good quality too! What a way to save memories!! Pictures and video clips all on one memory stick! The price is worth it! BUY THIS CAMERA!!

Summary: Wow, what a great little camera!
Review: I have been waiting to get a digital camera until they were more reasonably priced and offered better features. This camera is about the same size as a pocket 35mm camera is. It takes great pictures and video clips with sound. I really enjoy playing with it and trying new things to see how it works. The only downfall is the battery life which is usually about an hour. I brought it to the zoo with me and I got some really great closeups and all but I had to change the battery twice while I was there. The memory sticks are great and very compact and depending on the pixel setting they can hold a lot of photos. It is very easy to upload the pictures to your pc and import into one of my photo programs to touch them up and what not. I am in no way a professional photographer but this camera is great for my needs.

Summary: Always pleased!
Review: I have had this camera for almost 2 years and have had no problems with it at all. The battery lasts for over an hour and they are so tiny, I always carry a spare. I have been looking for a newer camera and have noticed they are not made nearly as well. The p5 is small and lightweight but feels solidly built and I like the glass protecting the lcd. I have been very pleased with the photos it takes, even the nightshots. My only complaint is that the movie mode does not do well in low-light conditions. The controls are easy to work, very user friendly, and the camera takes great pictures.

Summary: Great EBAY tool.
Review: I have owned this camera for two years now and it has been trouble free. Battery life is not that great, but the small size accounts for that. Ask yourself how big of a battery do you want to carry? The size of this camera, plus the ease of use were my main draws.
My biggest gripe is the location of the on/off switch. If you're not careful you will turn it off while taking pictures. I've noticed Sony has corrected this on other models.
The case of this camera is built like a tank. Some of the newer stuff looks cheaper.
Accessories are hard to find. You really have to be persistant to find different battery chargers. The charger that comes with the camera, requires the camera be utilized in the charging. I bought a charger that charges two batteries independant of the camera. A vehicle charger would be nice but this has eluded me.
I constantly get good comments,from auction buyers, about my picture quality. It has to be the camera.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: I have researched many cameras and it is difficult to believe which one is the best. I was looking for clear pictures and an easy to use camera with simple menus. This camera has it all! It has clear pictures and it is easy to use. I can even print my pictures on regular paper and the results are almost the same using photo paper. This camera also has a movie feature in which you can take a 10 second moving clip with sound of your subject. However, I'm still trying to figure out the software for this. If you want a good quality digital camera that takes sharp picutes, is portable and with a dependable name like Sony, this is the camera for you. Lastly it's best to get a large memory stick, because 8 is not really enough.

Summary: Bad Battery and Poor Service
Review: I just received the camera as a gift and the battery doesn't work. I am advised to send the battery in to a service center along with a letter describing the problem and copy of the invoice. It will take about a month for the center to respond. This is an expensive product where you would expect good service but don't!

Review: I love this camera! I have owned my P5 for about 2 years now, and have had excellent results. I have quite a bit of 35mm equipment as well, but haven't touched it since getting this camera. I am quite a perfectionist when it comes to photo quality and have been very satisfied with the quality of images produced by this model. It's very easy to carry around, and the 3.2 MP resolution is sufficient for most of my needs. I would recommend this camera.
The only negative I have noticed so far is with the automatic lens cover. Sometimes it seems to stick, and not open all the way. I simply touch it, very gently, and it opens fully. I may need to get it cleaned to keep it working smoothly. This happens very infrequently, so it's not a major issue, simply a periodic inconvenience.
