Summary: Generally an excellent camera ... with some annoyances
Review: Oh this camera is good! It is easy to use and it takes great pictures on the day time. At night it is always hard to take sharp pictures though, a lot of my pictures are blurry, especially when you do a full optical zoom. I am not sure if it is a problem across all digital camera though. The picture colors are not as bright as some other cameras but it seems to be more "realistic" photos (ie not articially brightness enhanced). I would have preferred to get DSC-V1 though, because of so many enhancements as well as Carl-Zeiss lens but at the time of purchase the price of DSC-V1 is out of my league.Here are some of the things that annoys me:
- Does not have 2Megapixel settings. Sure, why do u want 2Megapixel pictures when there is 5Mp and 3.2Mp available? But have u ever try to load up 3.2 or 5 Mp pictures (about 1.2 - 3 Mb in size) to the internet, if you only have dialup modem available? Also, you really do not want to put such big pictures on the net anyway. 2Mp pictures are sized around 300 - 400k which is reasonable.
- Only silver color camera available in USA (Asian countries and Australia sells red/blue colors as well).
- 32Mb memory sticks included: I mean come on, that is so small! I thought it is a joke that Sony gives such small memory sticks. I never used it because it would too easily be filled up after taking a few shots. I probably will use it for backing up of my Sony Clie instead. Sony should give out 128Mb memory sticks instead, especially it is so much cheaper these days. My recommendations are:
- Get a spare battery, especially when you travel overseas. Even though I sometimes managed to use only 1 battery per day, when u go somewhere u just point and shoot and do not think about battery life, so it is simply better to get a spare. if you can afford to fork out so much for this camera I cannot see why you cannot get a spare battery as well.
- Get large size memory sticks (like 256Mb or more), especially when u are taking high resolution pictures. I personally have multiple 128Mb memory sticks. By the way, get the Sony tripod as well. It is small, portable and reasonable price. Good for taking group photos!

Summary: great point and shoot camera
Review: bought this camera Dec of 2003. This is a great camera with outstanding image quality, perfect for point-and-shoot use, though I did return it shortly after purchase in exchange for the Sony DSC-V1. For only a hundred bucks more, the V1 has full aperture, ISO, and f-stop adjustment, which this camera does NOT have. The lens on the V1 is a bit better in my opinion as well. BUT, make no mistake, if this is in your price range, and you don't mind giving up total exposure control, this camera is an outstanding, best-in-class choice. I would have kept it if the Sony DSC-V1 were considerably more expensive, but since it wasn't, I went with the full manual control which that model provides. Either way, you should be happy with one of these two great Sony cams, and at 5MP, you should be happy for a long time!

Summary: excellent camera and value for money
Review: At first I was not to sure which 5megapixel camera to purchase however one of my friends emailed me a picture of his new kitchen and I could not believe how amazing and clear it was. Turned out he shot it with this camera that was the turning point in making my decision. The battery was a little shaky to begin with however once i drained it fully and recharged overnight its been excellent ever since. I would recommend getting a 256mb memory card but no the magic gate just the regular double sided 128mb will suffice. You won't regret buying this camera its amazing value for money especially with the $50 current mail in rebate!

Summary: Top Pick!
Review: The Sony dsc "P10" Digital Camera is the top pick for CSC. Running against cameras like Olympus stylus, Canon Powereshot, Sony V1, Nikon, Fuji, and More. The new release of 5.0 mega pixels has shot prices for digital cameras up to $1000+. This camera I purchased through a Private Dealer cost me $400.86. The Retail Price is Running $499.00 to $599.00. Purchase this camera from a wholesale dealer for the best price $377.00. Great Photo Even in dim light w/o a flash. The p10 is very compact. Can eaisly fit into any pocket. The camera can record 90 minutes of mpeg like a home movie. There are alot of great digital cameras on the market that shoot good pictures and video. What makes the p10 the top pick is it comes with a rechargeable lithum battery. Many use AA batterys, the digital camera consumes theses AA batterys in about two hours time whill the unit is on. That can add continious expense to the camera. It's also the best resolution on the market. 6.0 megapix is out, though only a few. And the smallest that we found. Also the best price for a major brand.

Summary: Overall Good Camera
Review: This was my first digital camera. I like the ease of the Sony and feel like it has been very easy to learn how to operate. The pictures I have taken have been great and the color and clarity have been good. The only drawback is that the pictures can become blurred very easily with even the slightest movement. And it seems slow to take pictures sometimes but I might be trying to compare it too much with a 35mm. Overall, I would highly recommend this camera.

Summary: best little cam I ever bought
Review: It's so light I had to keep checking my camera bag to make sure I hadn't lost it. Initially I was reluctant about the only 3X zoom, until I downloaded the first set of 5MB (then 4, 3 and 2 & finally 1.2MB being most versatile) images to my laptop & realized that you don't need zoom when you get such incredibly clarity and can zoom in on the actual picture to see detail that you never noticed visually. You can crop and edit accordingly. There's an email size mode as well - only 55-65kb. Menu navigation is a breeze (without consulting the manual) and easier than my previous Cybershot cams. I bought the 1GB Magic Gate stick (cost more than the camera!) but I can now use the little thing as a video cam for up to 90 mins in MPEG4 (great for interviews, presentations or stuff you want to edit later). Night shots no problem, but hold VERY still, as your slightest movement will create blur. The external device "garage" is well placed under one flap.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: I've had this camera for about a month and I have to say I'm very disappointed with the way it handles artificially lit conditions (like nighttime football games). The automatic exposure control seems to vary widely from one shot to the next under these conditions, and it's very difficult to get a nighttime picture that isn't blurry. The only way I've been able to make it behave is to go to manual settings, and even then the pictures aren't as sharp as my old 1.3 Megapixel Olympus in full automatic mode. Also, I found the greens to be oversaturated as reported by several other users. Daytime photos are generally good, although they can be overexposed. I'm not a novice photographer, but this camera sure makes me look like one. On the plus side, the size is great, the movie mode works well, transfers to the computer couldn't be easier, and battery life is reasonably good. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for the serious problems with the automatic exposure control. My recommendation: There are much better performers for a lot less money. Choose one of them instead.

Summary: It's... Okay...
Review: While the pictures the camera takes are of pretty great quality, the biggest problem I have with this camera is that if you move it even just a little while you take a picture, the whole picture is blurry. Not great for candid moments, when you don't have time to hold perfectly still. If you just figure a way to get past this problem, you've got a great camera on your hands.

Summary: My Sony doesn't recharge fast
Review: I bought this camera a month before and have one big problem. After taking a photo with flash, it takes about 10 secs to recharge. This creates a lot of problems in birthday parties. I missed a lot of good photographic moments due to that. I am going to send back since it is covered by warranty. Otherwise the camera is a "awesome" -- sun

Summary: Worth the money
Review: Back in 2001 I bought the brand new DSC-P3 after months of researching digi-cams online and at the stores. I loved that camera, because it was Sony quality which seems to last forever; I admit I have dropped it several times and it works great. The camera is still running strong as I sold it to a friend, sadly I was slowing becoming unhappy with it because of the lack of zooming features, I knew that I should have bought the one with zoom. Well back in early august I decided on the DSC-P8 as my replacement digi-cam as I from my P3 that Sony cameras last, and it had a 5 mega pixel resolution with zoom, everything I wanted. As I walked into the store to look at the display I felt uneasy about spending the $400 on the camera because it was not as compact as my P3 and I didn't like the look as much as my old one. Then I remembered how I regretted not getting the next model up from my P3 which was why I was in the store looking at Digi-cams again. So I looked up one model then two, and alas I found that I liked the P10 more and could afford to spend the extra $100 for the extra features that were the best at the time, and still are I hope, as so two years down the road I wouldn't be buying another yet. So Far it has been a few months and already I have taking thousands of pictures with amazing quality and I love the camera. So many features and great battery life, not to mention the zoom is so great that I closed in on a plane flying over head that looked no more then a dot in the sky and managed to see the planes markings in the picture on my computer without any enhancing. Great! Not I finally have the camera of my dreams. This is the camera for me, great features and improvements over my P3 and well worth the money. For $100 more I am happier that now I have a super compact, fast and reliable camera that I have already dropped once and it is still fine. When I say compact, it is half an inch smaller then the already small P3. Check it out! It have USB 2.0 which I don't have yet as I need to convince the girlfriend first, and supports up to 1GB which is more then an hour of high quality video as compared to the seconds I got with my P3. BUY ONE!
