Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: I decided to purchase this camera instead of the olympus 2040 and I am glad I did. It takes great clear pictures and has a great zoom. It's compact size is just right. It does eat batteries so I would get the info-lithium with charger. I purchased the wide angle lens and a 64mb memory stick. With the 64mb memory stick you get about 120 pictures at 1600x1200 jpeg mode, TIFF mode takes up much more memory. If you plan on printing pictures as big as 11x14 that's great. The lower setting will yield very high quality 5x7's or 4x6's. I find that if you take pictures at a very high setting and then try to shrink them to fit smaller paper they are not as clear (This is with any digital camera) It is very easy to use and it takes MPEG movies. Even editing within the camera is easy. Downloading pictures is real easy too. The software is great and easy to use. As with any SONY product the accesories cost more. But if you shop around you could find comparable prices. I highly recomend this camera.

Summary: Excellent choice!!
Review: I entered the shop with the view of buying a video camera that takes stills and I left with this!! It came bundled with the InfoLithium accessory pack and I can get over an hour taking pictures without the flash but with the LCD on. Downloading is a breeze with USB. Picture quality excellent and it's easy to use. Consider seriously!

Summary: So-so camera, eats battery like crazy!
Review: I got this camera as a gift after my previous digital camera broke. The only problem was that I tried to use it with AA batteries, and I could not even turn on the camera. I figured out that this camera will not work without the Sony Stamina battery, and that the Kit (rechargable battery, charger and bag), which costs almost ($$$).
After that initial problem, it's been only good times with this camera. The pictures quality are great, and the camera is really easy to use, without those complicated menus that others digital cameras have. Uploading the files (pictures) to my computer was easy, and now that I'm using Windows XP is a lot better.
If you're looking for an easy-to-use, high-quality camera, this is a good choice for you. However, keep in mind that you'll need to expend a ($$$) more for the battery kit.
Picture colors are not good at all, I'll choose a Canon next time

Summary: Not a Great Sony Product
Review: I had very high hopes for this camera -- mainly because I have always really liked Sony products -- but have been pretty disappointed with it. Not only does it churn through batteries (as everyone else has said), you also cannot upload pictures to your PC without going through a pretty cumbersome process. To top it all off, calling Sony for advice on uplaoding pictures from this camera did not get me any help at all (in fact, I think it convinced me never to buy Sony again!)

Summary: Solid 2 mp camera
Review: I have owned the Sony p50 for over a year now. Overall, it is a solid entry level digital camera.Pros-
(1) Easy to use - I was new to digital photography, and this was a very easy model to use.
(2) Design / Size - A nice sized camera that feels substantial & not cheap in any way.
(3) Good battery life with rechargeables - standard AA not recommended.
(4) Very nice images - I have printed pics with a Canon i950, and they are very close in quality to a 35mm.
Cons-
(1) The included 4mb card is totally inadaquate.
(2) Would have been nice to have the infolithium battery included.
(3) Limited manual controls. Overall, I have been very satisfied with this camera. I now am looking to buy a more advances 4-5 mp model, but this really fit my needs as a begining digital photographer.

Summary: Impressive performance
Review: I have recently bought a Sony DSC P50 digital camera. I am impresssed by its high resolution and compact size. The LCD is somehow a bit small, but you can still see the objects clearly.

Summary: Great Compact Camera
Review: I looked at a bunch of different cameras before I settled on this one, and you can't do much better for the money. Only annoyance as everyone stated is the lack of batteries, and why can't they just included the AC adaptor. To make up for that I immediately followed everyones recommendations and got 4 NiMH Enegizer Rechargables from Target, and all is working fine. The paper says not to transfer pics without the AC adapter, but this is just precautionary, batteries work fine for this. All in all the 2.1 megapixels provide crisp pics, with many different options, and that 3X optical and 6X digital zoom is fantastic. I recommend getting the 32MB memory card (Sony gave me a 20 buck rebate for registering, so it came out to only 15). If you want a camera, but are looking to stay near 200 this is the one for you.

Summary: This is THE camera
Review: I love everything about this camera. To refute the short battery life claims of other reviewers, I would like to point out that sony does not recommend standard batteries. If you buy some rechargeable nickle metal hydrate batteries ($15 for a 4 pack and charger) the battery life is wonderful. I can take hundreds of pictures on a single charge. You will not be dissapointed with this camera if you are looking in the 2 megapixel class.

Summary: I recommend this camera!
Review: I love this camera! Small enough to fit in my pocket and takes excellent, clear pictures! Picture taking has never been as much fun for me as it is with this digital (which is always with me). I really enjoy uploading the latest and sending to friends (who comment on the quality, too, by the way). However, even though I give it 5 stars (for quality, size, weight) I must admit that the sticker price for the accessories was a shock. For example, I use NiMH rechargeable batteries (several sets just in case) and refuse to pay the list price for the combination power cord and battery made for the camera. That hasn't been a problem for me, though. I highly recommend this camera!
