Summary: Jeanie
Review: I absolutely love this camera! I decided to buy a digital because I hated developing film and not being able to delete or change my pictures. The camera comes with software, an 8mb memory stick, and batteries! I also love the fact that I can use regular alkaline batteries as well. I can shoot in black/white or make movies. This feature will be awesome with my two toddlers. Almost everything they do is worth filming! My major concern however, was red eye! Both my girls have blonde hair & blue eyes, and almost every picture I take of them has red eye, and I have a film camera with red eye reduction. This camera had all the features that I wanted, and more.
p.s. My sister bought a Nikon last year, and was with me when I bought this one...she's so jealous of the features...

Summary: GREAT DIGITAL CAMERA!
Review: I bought the SONY DSC-P31 on the recommendation of a friend. I knew nothing about digital cameras before starting to look, and the SONY DSC-P31 turned out to be perfect. The instruction manual and software are easy to understand, even for a novice. The camera is lightweight,2 megapixels and has an 8 MB Memory Stick.The 2 AA rechargeable batteries and rechargeable unit are included. What it does not contain is a power cord for putting the pictures into the computer and I purchased a card reader and am very happy with it. The quality of the pictures is very good and quite sharp---even the autofocus feature is good with 2 choices for setting point of focus. There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this camera, and I couldn't have made a better choice.

Summary: Gorgeous photos
Review: I bought this after having used low end digital cameras. Just a couple of months before I bought my Sony, I bought a 1 megapixel camera and was thrilled with the pictures I was getting, so I moved up to the Sony. My first set of pictures were on a cloudy day. They were sharp but nothing special. Later I took pictures on a clear day and was blown away by the color. Absolutely stunning. There is no comparison between this camera and the others I was using. I am still trying different buttons and learning what my camera is capable of but was up and taking pictures right away. My only regret is that I didn't get an optical zoom. I can tell the difference, but I don't use that feature much and am able to crop away any distracting objects and still have crisp photos. I would recommend this camera to anyone who has been disappointed with the colors of their current photos.

Summary: Great digital camera for the price
Review: I bought this camera recently. It works great. Battery life is pretty good. I had no problem connecting to my computer or TV. The camera comes with a 8Mb memory stick. I bought a 128mb memory stick(sandisk). Sony memory stick costs $ Sandisk works as good as Sony. The flash is very powerful. It is not too hard to learn the controls of this Camera. I am quite satisfied with this digital camera.

Review: I got this camera as a gift and have never been big into photography before, but this made it easy. To clear up the fights about the computer cable; the camera comes with a USB cable to get your pictures on the computer, but it does not come with a AC adapter to plug the camera into the wall. You must run the camera on the batteries because of this.

Review: I have read all the previous reviews ... about cameras and decide to get this babe. I am very happy with the price and [an] extra 128 MB memory stick ...

The only bad thing which nobody mentioned previously is the charging time. Sony includes a charger but not a fast charger. It means 2 NiMH batteries should charge approx 13 hours! While you can get chargers from Kodak and Olympus which charge 4 NiMH batteries in 4 hours.

Even in the manual it says Camera Starter Kit Model # ACC-CSNQ has a Super Quick Charger which charge the batteries faster, but it hasn't mentioned how much faster. Even in sony web site there is no information about charging time of Super Quick Charger unit. So, if anyone know the charging time of ACC-CSNQ Charger please write a review for others because it may be the second purchased after Sony P31. :)

Anyway, everything about this camera is fine except the batteries charging time which if you do normal shooting it won't be a problem for you because you may need to charge batteries rarely (once a week or in two weeks).

But if you want to take more than 150 photos non-stop every 3 hours, you probabely need to get a faster charger just in case. I suggest Kodak K2000, Olympus B-50SU, Lenmar Pro711, Lenmar Pro744 or Millenium CH4 Chargers which I have not used any of them but there are many kind people who wrote some reviews on them.

Thanks to all people who write reviews, God Bless You All ;)

Summary: Fantastic Pictures
Review: I just recently bought this camera and let me tell you it is worth every penny. The quality of pictures I took with this camera is national geographic quality. I definatly recommend getting a 32mb card though. Downloading is fast and easy, the computer recognized the camera and downloading was a breeze from there. Believe me when i say this, THis camera is fantastic and takes unbeliveable pictures from beautiful sunsets to close ups on mushrooms, the pics are clear and in brilliant color. FOr the price this camera is a steal...

Summary: Great Camera for the price.
Review: I own a rather large camera (2 Mega pixel) with a large lens which I love to carry around when I want to do zoom photography.

I wanted to get something a bit smaller to take with me to parties and other events, something that I could have at hand for snapshots and the like.

This camera is pretty good and versatile for the price.

I also use Sony's new format Memory Stick Duo adapter (which I can also use in my Sony Ericsson phone), and is also the "Magic Gate" in which you can save several "licensed" formats.

I recommend it.

Summary: Great camera for everyday use !!
Review: I purchased this unit primarily for family events and vacations. It produces beautiful pictures indoors and out. Very simple to use, I was taking pictures within 5 minutes of charging the batteries supplied.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great camera
Review: I really like it. It's a great camera for the price I paid. Easy to use, manual and automatic controls, very nice menus, great quality for slide shows on a TV, and even 640X480 images look good. Better that I spected.
The only thing I don't like is that I doesn't come with the AC adapter, so just get an extra set of batteries and buy more memory once it gets cheaper.
