Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCP93A 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: A GREAT Camera And A PERFECT Gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my mother for Christmas and she's taken about a thousand photos with it.
What I like:
-SOLID build quality
-Quick start-up time
-Focus-assist lamp for GREAT low light shots
-Killer MPEG movie mode with high framerates and sound
-Power miser...the included batteries last for hundreds of shots.
-Easy-to-use USB connection. Treats the camera like a drive!
What I REALLY Like:
-Great photo quality for a common level camera.
Accessories I'd Recommend:
-At least a 256MB Memory Stick PRO. You want the PRO version so you can get the high quality movies.
-A SanDisk Memory Stick PRO reader...so you can just slot the memory stick in the USB reader and treat the card like a regular drive while saving battery power.
-The rapid recharge and case kit....a good deal because you get 2 extra batteries and a rapid charger and a Memory Stick case.
I like my mom's new camera so much that my next camera will DEFINITELY be a Sony! Prolly the P150...
Digital camera Review: A great camera at a good price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first digital camera purchase, so i was a bit worried about getting a dud with so many to choose from. i was looking for one that would allow me to indulge in a hobby of picture taking but not bust my budget. all the other reviews have really gone over the pros and cons of the camera, and i really agree with it all. the macro mode works good, the multi burst mode at first wasen't a real big selling point but i got playing with it and i really like it, i didn't understand reading about it that it take multiple pictures with one press of the button, giving it a slow motion effect, the individule pictures are smaller in size (640 X 400 it looks like) but cool none the less. the movie mode is sweet, yes it would really be great to have a stabilizing system but it give good movies with good sound quality. the zoom works great, but as with all cameras in this price range it would be nice to have more than a 3x zoom, digital zoom hasn't been all that amazing. someone said the photo quality wasnt that great, maybe he's some expert (yeah right) but the quality is better than my freinds 3 and 4 MP cameras. the batteries have lasted pretty well but definetly keep a pair on hand. i ordered a 256mb Pro memorey card the next day from sandisk because the 32 just dosent cut it and i want to record the hi-res movies. the only real con i have about the camera is a lack of any photo editing software. guess I'll have to look for some software. i also bought a $5 camera bag too. over all for a single guy who wanted a good camera to take hiking and camping and to get some family shots too, I'm really happy with it. i give it five because it really dosent have any major defect for the price, features and ease of use (oh yeah i love the easy interface and button set up)Digital camera Review: A great entry level camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This is simply the best digital camera I have ever owned.
It takes great pictures, very easy to use with a lot of extra features.
My only knocks on it are: Somtimes the camera gets confused how much battery power is left (you have a full bar go down to a half bar and then back up to full), and sometimes getting it to focus on what you want it to focus on is difficult. Digital cameras are not like film cameras in that it takes a few seconds from the time you push the shutter button for the picture to actually be taken. In that respect, I've tried to take some quick pictures of my son doing something only to have the camera take too long and miss the picture.
However, these are tremendously outweighed by the pros.
I've taken 10 times at least as many pictures as I did before due to the instant gratification of it and highly recommend this camera. It is awesome.
Digital camera Review: A newbie's perspective
Summary: 3 Stars
This was my first digital camera, so my perspective is probably a bit prejudiced by my inexperience. Things I like, and dislike, about this camera are:
1. Easy to use. You point and push the button. It does the rest.
2. Virtually unlimited storage capacity. After you buy a decent size memory chip (i.e. 256MB), then you can get up to 98 pictures at full size or 350+ at a moderate size. The memory chip that comes with this camera (32MB) will only story the following number of pictuers: 5MP = 12, 3MP = 20, 1MP = 50, VGA = 196.
3. Prices vary wildly for memory. I bought three memory chips and paid between $57 and $37 for the same product at different locations. Be sure to shop prices on the net before you buy.
4. Slow shutter. If you are used to 35mm, then get used to blurry pictures while you learn. It takes a second for the camera to focus and light levels can have a big effect on clarity. Also, using some type of support (i.e. tripod) can also greatly increase clarity.
5. Eats batteries quickly. If you use the camera a lot, it will go through the AA batteries quick. Luckily, they are rechargeable and are not unique to the camera. Carry extras.
6. Good low light pictures. Assuming you use a support, and the subject is stationary, you can take great low light pictures.
7. Don't have to wait for film developing. You can snap away to your hearts content and then delete all the bad ones later.
8. Easily transfers images to your PC. It's just a couple of clicks with the mouse.
Bottom line - It's an easy to use camera that can take beautiful pictures with amazing clarity. This assumes you have good lighting, a stationary subject, good support and take multiple frames. If you try to use this like a point and shoot 35mm, then you will get nothing but blurry, out of focus pictures.
Glad I bought it, but it's taken me several thousand pictures to figure out how to get shots that will equal my 35mm SLR.
Digital camera Review: AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR A PERFECT CAMERA!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's my first Digital camera, and I must say, "It's perfect & worth every penny!"With its 5.1 MP Sony lens, the photo quality is amazing! Crisp, Sharp, Colorful and very detailed.
I have to say, it works better than some CANON models! I took a photo of a same stationary subject with both cameras. I found out that the SONY's output was better than the CANON's. So I went for Sony.
The camera has various features to enjoy including Video recording and OPTICAL/DIGITAL Zoom.
Well done SONY! :)
