Summary: Great Little Camera ...
Review: I had been looking for a digital camera for some time. I started to get caught up in the megapixels trap; that is, more is better. But when I thought about it, the most common use for me is taking photos of the family to send via e-mail to our family and friends. For that, you don't need all those megapixels.

So, I bought this camera. One selling point was the lithium ion battery versus the nicad other models in this price range have. Also, I have other Sony products and have never been disappointed as the quality is high.

This is a great little camera, with the emphasis on the word little. It was easy enough to learn how to use in an hour or so with the owner's manual.

The memory card is big enough for weekend trips, but if you are going on a long trip, I would recommend a larger card. Even at low resolution suitable for e-mail, you only get 32 pictures on a 16 MB memory card.

Summary: The best for a non-pro
Review: I looked arround, evaluated and read all reviews that fell in my hands about digital cameras before buying the Cybershot P8.

In summary: If you are not a professional photographer, this is the one for you. It is the right size, takes excellent pictures, even videos with sound (quite good for a Cybershot, but it is not a video camera, though) and reasonably priced.

Nevertheless, it lacks of some more manual control, especially needed for pros. But I am just an ammateur that likes taking a lot of nice pictures to download to my computer.

One important tip: you MUST buy more memory sticks. The included 16Mb should be unlawfull. With additional 128Mb you should be OK.

Summary: Best money I've spent in a long time!!!
Review: I looked for months - every website out there that compares cameras, has user reviews and etc... Finally decided on the DSCP8 and am SOOOOO happy I did. I've had the camera for six months and didn't want to write a review till I took it on a trip. I'm now back and must tell you the only problem I had with this camera was trying to get night shots - really need to have the tripod for a serious shot. Everything else about this camera is amazing! I have the 128mb stick and can hold over 100 photos at the 2m setting.

The good stuff:
QUICK charge time (I have a spare battery for those long hikes)
Tons of built in settings for SCN's
Size - this thing is so small yet the LCD screen size and quality is unmatched on the market.
Great quality prints come out of this camera!

Skip all the rest the Sony DSCP8 is the only way to go!

Summary: Great Camera, Great price
Review: I previously owned a sony dsc-p51 a 2 mp camera and was pleaed with the quality. When I decided to purchase a new camera one with more megapixels I came across the Sony P-8 the reveiws for this camera superceded all of the other cameras in its class. This camera is excellent. Easy to use and has many functions that my previous camera did not have like multiburst and able to make a movie with sound. Overall I am very pleased with this purcase. The only bad thing about the camera was the software. I purchased Acdsee 6.0 and it works well with the camera and is very easy to use.

Summary: Great camera for the price.
Review: I purchased this camera this past Oct/03. Being my first digital camera It's pretty easy to use and compact size. I love the mpeg video option, 95% of pictures I've atlken come out great. The battery life is also good. I bought a 128MB memory stick that I can take about 80 pics at the highest resoulution.
I would highly recomend this camera to everyone.

Summary: I don't get it?
Review: I read all the reviews, I read the opinions, I bought the camera, and honestly . . . I am not impressed. Regardless of whether or not I take pictures indoors or outdoors, everything just seems off. Pictures are yellowish, off-color, and often even somewhat out of focus. Beats me... I am not a professional photographer, but by no means a novice. If I were you, I would buy a different camera. Quality should not have to be sacrificed simply because you are using a digital camera.

Summary: This is it
Review: I received this camera as a christmas gift from my Mom. It's light and very easy to use the basic functions. I haven't ventured into the other options yet but I'm looking forward to doing so.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great camera, time delay
Review: I searched around for along time. I bought this camera and liked it alot.
it has everything that you would expect from a camera at this price. it is a compact design. "3.2" (actually 3.1)is a perfect resolution.

Cons- there is a little time delay between pushing the button and when it takes the picture, just about every digital camera has this and you will learn to live with it. the indoor quality is pretty good just some times it turns the flash on automaticly and that can get a little anouying.

I would recommed this camera to anyone who has the money. I looked around alot and in my opion this is the best camera you will find for it's price.

Summary: So much better than Canon
Review: I was debating between a Canon S400 and this Sony P8 so Idecided to play with both cameras at my neighborhood bestbuy. The Sony P8 produces better image quality and color than the Canon. The guys at BestBuy let me print out images taken by the cameras so I can compare the results instantly as the print out quality is very important to me. To top it off, the sony has a much user friendly interface and I was able to master the camera navigation w/o asking questions nor looking at manual. I couldn't figure out the Canon at all.
I took some amazing photos from my recent trip and blew some up to 8x10. The quality is incredible and may I also add that I am no professional but the pictures turned out looking like pros!

Summary: If you've been searching, this is the camera you want!!!!
Review: I was looking for a digital camera and ran into this one. I wasn't sure about getting it because there were a lot of good cameras out there I heard. But when I looked at this camera, and used it, then compared it to the others, I couldn't go back. For this price, it is perfect. It's considered a high-end camera, it looks so stylish, and it has all the features necessary (and more) for anything.

One of the things I also love about this camera is that you can take it anywhere with you, and its so portable! You'll have pictures on the fly. And it looks good and impresses your friends :) But anyway, you really should look into this camera at the least. I am so glad I choose this one!! I can't express it enough in words.

Sony DSC P8, Remember that name!!!
