Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCP93A 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Good price, features and exellent quality
Summary: 5 Stars
The title sums up what I find to be the most descriptive way to define the Sony DSCP93 Cybershot. The pictures are crisp and can be huge allowing you to reduce the size if you want to without compromising photo quality. The lens extends and retracts very fast and taking a photo is very quick. The flash is a bit weak but if you buy the optional flash it will be pretty much more "professional". Pictures taken in the dark are a bit hard to line up but this happens with other cameras also.
I laugh when I see a thousand cameras at a game all flaring their puny flashes at figures over 50 feet away...hehehe. The camera's aperture can be changed easily allowing shots in darker settings -like fireworks. This camera can be a simple point and click or used with foresight.
It took less than ten minutes to plug the included usb connector line into the computer, insert the disk with the driver on it and download the pictures directly into windows xp home version for viewing, storage or editing.
Some reviewers here and elsewhere often hold every item to a standard set by Hollywood or by comparing to a fully professional unit. Remember that this is a comsumer camera and it is better than many professional units available in the past. Wonderful photos were taken on tintypes and their resoloution was not all that great..
Good photos are in the EYE of the picture taker and the camera should help them realise their goal of capturing what the photographer sees. This Cybershot allows me to take marvelous pictures and the added bonus of video is really a plus-especially for web applications. If you want a solid camera with a small profile and ease of handling, several features not seen in many digital cameras under 400$ and add on options like a water proof housing,telephoto lenses and wide angle lens, get this. We did and it is a real beauty!
Digital camera Review: Great Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased Kodak, Fujifilm, and Olympus digital cameras all above 4.0 megapixels within a year and this Sony is far better than any of them. The Kodak and Fujifilm had red eye in just about every picture in the light or dark and neither took a good crisp picture. This Sony Cybershot takes excellent clear pictures with NO red eye! In a low to no light setting a red light is seen on your subject before the picture is captured, which adjusts their eyes for the no red eye and it helps you to see the subject. This camera is much faster than the others I've tried, I can't say enough about it...this is a great camera!

I had to replace my Olympus D-550. It was difficult to make a decision as I had loved the Olympus, but I dropped it on the floor and it was broken. The decision to buy a Sony stemmed from owning rechargable AA batteries and my dad owning a sony memory stick already for an older Sony Mavica.
I have had nothing but great pictures with this camera, unless I moved. Batteries last a long time but the included charger and batteries would have been a better deal if it charged more than two AA batteries at a time.
The manual is very easy to follow; there are alot of features in this camera so I refer to it every once in a while to refresh my memory. I mostly use it outdoors with children in my day care in very bright conditions or in florescent lighting and all the pictures are great.
I download using the USB cable and Windows XP camera wizard. I only installed the basic software to run the camera, because all the other software is useless. It doesn't edit the pictures, so I actually edit them on Camedia. I know some people don't like that software either, but on the whole it is easy to use and works well.
You won't be sorry if you buy this camera. It is small enough to go anywhere, and will do the job. Unless you want the semi-pro models to change lenses, this is one of the best cameras I've ever owned.
Digital camera Review: Great camera !
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Compact design, very handy, powers on really quick, takes only 2 AA size batt.
Extremely good value for the money-less than 270$ total in one of the online stores (jan/05)
Cons: None so far. But it is made in China, My previous camera - Sony DSCP5 was made in Japan! but it is a matter of trust in quality of labor, I guess...
Several things if you considering buying this camera:
1. To take advantage of shooting movies in Fine mode you need Memory Stick PRO - buy min 512 MB (approx. 85$ on ebay -as of Jan/05) don't settle for a smaller ones, you will buy bigger sooner ot later.
2. Invest some extra money in spare NiMH batteries - I got 8 batt + international 1hour charger for 21$ on ebay - I am NOT going to run out of battery power anytime soon :)
3. Do not take it out without a case!
4. A small tripod (less than 5$ on ebay) allows you to be on your own pictures :)
5. Plenty of shooting modes: several preprogrammed, one complete manual (makes you feel like you own a SLR camera) and one total auto - even a toddler can make a picture
6. Setup allows you to create folders on MStick and switch between them (as you take the pictures) - pictures are organized before transferring to your PC
7. Upgradeable - You can buy e.g. telephoto lens or underwater shooting case
8. The only difference between Sony MStick and other brands (SanDisk) is the price !
9. It has 1.5" LCD - the price for being so compact - you need to be comfortable with such a size. If you need strong glasses for reading, look for another model :) Larger LCD usually means bulky camera or extremely costly compact. Larger LCD is also easier to damage...
10. Included A/V cable allows you to see the pictures/movies on your TV - GREAT feature!
11. Do read the manual, read it also again after you know the basics, you will find something new every time...
12. In my opinion perfect camera for everyday use.
Good Luck! Hope it helps...

I upgraded from a 2MP fuji to this camera. This camera has tons more features, obviously. I also have a D100 nikon slr 6M pixels and this camera quality of picture rivals that. Of course it cant do the same things a digital SLR can, but I would buy this one again if it were to get stolen or something. It fits in your pocket and buy an off brand memory card for 100 bucks, get 512mb(200 pics at 5 Mp) and you are off. Also, the movie quality on this camera is decent and the sound pick-up for such a small microphone is excellent. You need to hold the camera very still since there is no anti-vibration switch.
All in all a excellent camera.
