Summary: DSC p-10 more than you would think
Review: I'd like to mention some very interesting and hard to find out information about the p10 that I hope will be helpful.Smart zoom allows addional zoom power if you are shooting below maximum camera pixel capability. This can only be seen on the screen and not in the view finder. The video compression works well but fast motion may seem a little jerky. Almost 6 minutes of VGA fits on a 128 meg card. A 256 meg card goes for as little as [money amount]plus shipping on the net. Camera allows dividing video and deleting unwanted side for reducing memory use. Zoom function does not work during video probably bewcause of noise or focus issues. There is also an email quality video mode which will give 90 minutes of recording with adequate sound.This allows recording a lecture or interview in video with sound! The included software seems to only allow saving editing to MPEG1 which is computer only. I don't understand this. Maybe they want to sell something else. Don't get stuck with a lot of work you can't put on a video disk and look into other software. On the web you can download Projector Station 4.1 which is for putting jpeg images into xga format and into a file on a memory stick card for projectors. This allows about 500 images onto a 128 meg card in a file that can be accessed from your camera. When you are visiting the relatives you can bring all of your family photos in the camera for playing on the tv with the video output cable supplied. If they have windows xp the camera will allow you to hook up with only the cable w/o any software and and have camera memory show as a drive. You can copy any pictures you want to other computer. Very 2K! The battery really lasts quite well and the camera will tell you how much time is left on it. You can also purchase extended life batteries. The long cords on the charger are awkward and it must plug into the camera to charge battery. An external charger would be convenient. Camera will stay contiuously in focus allowing a much quicker shutter response than other cameras. Using the manual distance setting speeds things up also. You can edit still pictures by zooming in during preview and then cropping what isn't in the screen. You can also make lower resolution copies of pictures for emails. The camera takes surprising quality shots in low light without the flash. I am guessing that it somehow processes the images to avoid some of the low shutter blur. The camera is amazing and it fits in my pocket.

Summary: For the money: Five Stars
Review: This is a terrific little camera - well-built, easy to use, nice features, compact and classy look. Of course, if you have advanced skills and experience, you'll want more camera. But, this one is great for the average photographer. Do NOT buy the camera from sony.com. They stink! I bought my personal p10 from a local dealer. I bought another one as a gift from sony.com. For the prices and the Sony name, it is disgraceful. There is NO customer service and delivery is SLOW. It's really unbelievable. For your sake, purchase it somewhere else.

Summary: Great camera for price range
Review: I recently purchased this camera and was impressed with its ease of use, and especially its crystal clear photos (when sized on my computer to 800x600). The only disappointments with this camera were that there was no manual focus, and the automatic focus that's included does not focus on things unless they're about a meter away. The closest you get to manual focus is a menu option that lets you choose approximately how far away your target is, and this isn't very precise. On the bright side, the camera's photos are brilliant, and its compact size allows for easy portability. I may return it, however, to get a camera that does have manual focus and perhaps a RAW image format mode - which this camera does not have.

Summary: Nevery Buy Sony! They Steal Your Credit Balance!
Review: I want to relate a horror experience from Sony. I tried to buy a camera from Sony's website. The deal never went through, although I gave my credit card details. Amazingly, Sony, in spite of not being able to sell the product, nevertheless reserved the total amount of the deal from my credit card for nearly three weeks! Hours of phone calls could not fix the situation -- Sony only said that my credit card balance would eventually get corrected. Sony could not deliver the product, yet they took my money for three weeks. Because of this, my travel booking got cancelled due to credit card balance being over the limit. Never, never, never buy a Sony! They are crooks! Besides, their products stink, too -- cheap manufacture from China, low quality.

Summary: Ultra Compact 5 Mpx Greatness!!!
Review: I recently purchased the Sony DSC-P10 as a second digital camera. My first digital camera was a Sony DSC-P30 (1.3 mpx). This camera is the smallest camera out there that offers 5 mpx. I like it because it easily fits into your pocket so you're more prone to take it with you randomly. Sometimes, there are moments you just have to capture on film! There are a lot of accessories that you can purchase (against what someone else said, there is an additional flash add-on, and filters and other things). This camera offers basic features for those "point and shoot" people out there. If you have no idea with what to do with ISO settings, exposure, etc... this camera is perfect for you! It has so many preset modes (most of them work well... some have to be retuned). The image quality is about the same with other cameras in the compact range (this camera is sub compact) if you consider the size. Yes, the Canon 5 mpx cameras have better image quality, but they are much bulkier. If you prefer a camera w/ more manual control options, then I'd go with a Canon or Nikon. They seem to have the most features that make the digicam rival high end SLR cameras. If you'd prefer Sony, I would go with the new V1 5 mpx. It's like the P10, but with a lot of advanced features for those advanced photographers out there.

Summary: Little camera with a big punch
Review: One word Awsome. I have had the camera and underwater housing for 2 weeks now, and have made 2 dives with it. I can't begin to describe the quality of the pictures above and below the water. The features on it will take a little time to master but once you do, you will not want to put this down.

Summary: Great Camera, Easy to use
Review: This is my third digital camera. My first being a Mavica 1.2 Pixels, my third a Sony 3.2 Pixels and now the P10 5.0. So far Im greatly satisfied. It has many features and the MPEG videos look great. The pictures look awsome. I was amazed at the quality of the pictures taken in dark places. The Auto Focus Illuminator is awsome, it shoots that red laser and its cool. It took me about 2 days to get really comfortable with the camera and its small too, alot smaller than the P92 with the same features. I do recommend getting a memory stick of 256MB or higher. I really dont have any complaints with the camrea, I highly recommend it for everyone.

Summary: Easy and with great performaces
Review: What a purchase!
This camera is easy to use and has great performances. In order to use it at its best I recommend to get a 128 Mb memory card. This will allow you to store many high quality pictures and also good quality short videos.
When it comes to download the files in your PC, it's a true "plug and play" procedure (at least with XP). You plug the USB and the PC starts downloading the files automatically, in the folder of your choice.
Another smart feature is that it works with both regular and rechargeable batteries (that are included).
The camera comes with a specific program (for the PC) that I immediately uninstalled, since it's not user friendly and, at the end, totally unuseful compared with what XP allows you to do.
In order to play / work with your pictures, Photoshop remains the best option.
I definitely rate this camera 5 stars.
