Summary: i love my dsc p100
Review: after months of searching around for a digital camera, i finally decided to choose this cute sony for a number of reasons. one, it was in my price range with rebates and discounts from sears. two, it was the upgrade of a model that was fairly successful and customers had been pleased. three, it has 5 whopping megapixels! with the added features like scenes, mpeg movie mode, and changing the resolutions, i knew this was the camera for me. the metal body is also an added bonus. if you are an amatuer and just want a digital camera, this is a good camera for you.

Summary: Awesome camera, you can't go wrong with this one!
Review: After months of searching for the perfect ultra-compact camera I came down with Canon S500, S410 and Sony P100. I then decided to go for the Sony P100 and that's one perfect decision I'll never regret. This camera is awesome and you can't go wrong with it. As advertised, its lightning fast and its battery life is unbelievable. I used this on a 5 day museum hopping in Chicago, and in those 5 days I took hundreds of pictures and several videos and only needed to charge my camera once! While my friend who has a Canon S410 had to charge his camera everyday. Picture quality is also excellent and is the same if not better than Canon's. But with a better movie mode, LCD screen, battery life and speed, there's no way you'll choose Canon over this one.

Summary: Best Digital Camera in its class
Review: Awesome manual features, and effective automatic features. You'll have great pictures no matter what mode you choose. And there are plenty to choose from. What an improvement over my Sony cybershot of 2 years ago. This thing is ultra-fast, and the battery life is substantialy long. Great movie clips too. not clunky, but slim, sleek and stylish, not to mention light weight and small enough to fit in your pocket comfortably. Definately the best point-and-shoot camera available at this point in time.

Summary: Easy and Fun, great for digital virgins!
Review: I am a sony freak. My laptop is VAIO, my palm is a Clie, my camcorder is a Sony MiniDV, my surround sound, cd, alarm, you get the picture. So when I decided to get my second digital camera (don't want to discuss the first, a Kodak easy share I bought about two years ago, the wounds are still fresh) I knew I would get a Sony, I just didn't know which one.
After doing some research I decided on a 5.1 megapixel for quality, and I wanted small, but not so compact that I would lose it. The DSC-P100 is small, but not microscopic like some out there. It's also made of metal and easy to grip, I don't feel like I'm going to break it when I use it. I've had it for about a week now and the pictures are magnifficent and the resolution is unbelievable! It comes with a 32mg memory stick which is enough for just taking pictures casualy at events, but eventually I plan on purchasing more. The sound playback on the video is great, I can clearly hear what is being said on playback on my camera.
Sony does well with using the Carl Zeiss lens, I also have it on my miniDV and knew I wanted it on my digital camera. I have yet to use the burst feature, I didn't even know it was on this camera until after I bought it.
I didn't have much luck with my first digital camera (OH! the terrible pain!) so I consider this my first real experience with one. I love it, it's easy and fun to use. The LCD screen on the back is big enough that I can clearly see the picture without having to squint.
Side note: I bought my printer when I bought my camera and I have to say I tried about 15 different printers for picture quality and the Sony color 4x6 printer was horrible. The best picture quality I found was an Epson Stylus Photo R320, the pictures look like I just got them back from the developer, not my printer. If you're going to buy a camera that can output perfection the way the Sony DSC-P100 can, get a printer that can represent it properly.

Summary: I am so disappointed with SONY!
Review: I bought this camera mainly because of Sony's reputation for quality. I am a loyal Sony customer...until I purchased this camera. The picture qaulity is worse than my old 2MP Kodak! I spent nearly $400 for this camera and expected the image quality to be very good for the price I paid. The pictures almost always came out dark when I selected the Automatic mode. When taken in doors the picture always casted a dark shadow behind. My advice is if you are planning to buy this camera, make sure you buy it from a vendor that will allow you to return this camera. Try it out first. I am searching for a new camera now and trying to sell this camera on Ebay. I will probably go back to buying either a Kodak or give Canon a try. I am SO DISAPPOINTED with Sony.

Summary: DSC-P100 No Guarantees of Image Quality!
Review: I have a 10% success of getting a usable picture from this DSC P100 camera. Having read other reviews and web sites I can only agree that this camera is extremely sensitive to movement and as such you cannot guarantee getting that all important picture. I have been a digital camera user for 3 years now and this was my 3rd and non of the pictures are better than my 3 year old Fuji FinePix 4700. It is so hit and miss (mainly miss) that I am back to the market to get another digital camera. Very disappointed but I cannot live with the uncertainty, I need quality pictures every time!
My advice if you want this camera is to be sure you buy it from a store whre you can return it with no questions, and then try it for yourself in real world situations and see if you are happy with it!

Summary: Good pocket digital but focus needs work
Review: I like the camera. About 2 months of use. Read reviews of focus problems - they are right about the problem. I have found that setting my camera on the "P" setting and selecting "Center AF" helps. Sony needs to address this problem. The battery last a long time on one charge even when using flash. You need to spend some time with this camera to get the most out of it. I like it enough to purchase the 7.2 megapixels and will give this 5.1 as a gift. I purchased this camera for a pocket camera and it is serving that function well.

Review: I thought a long time on which camera to get, it was either P-100 or Canon A95 and in the end i went with the P-100. Let me tell you it's a great camera, easy to use, great pictures, just overall a great camera. Who ever buys this camera won't be disappointed. I also like the flash it's very good!!!

Summary: Low light pictures
Review: I'm thinking of buying this camera and wanted to know from the owners of the camera if this camera takes excellent pictures like Canon in low light/indoor conditions. I currently own a Sony DSCP9 Cyber-shot 4MP Digital Camera and it takes crapy pictures in low light conditions (even indoors). The skin tone is extremely grainy. Your honest experience with indoor and low light pictures would be greatly appreciated (especially skin tones).
