Digital camera reviews of Sony Cybershot DSCP93A 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Amazing first digital camera for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first digital camera and all i can say is......... Wow what a camera! I have had this camera for about 2 weeks and taken soooooo many high quality pictures. Fair amount of standard memory. The video recording mode is OK. Better to make it 160 than 640 standard so u can hold more video. I love the options of memory sticks. 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!
PS I did not write the below about no voting buttons?
Digital camera Review: tiredoflooking
Summary: 3 Stars
I think that this ia an ok camera - If this is your first camera you may not know any better and you will be happy but there are some definite problems!
First pros - It does take pictures and they are nice enough. It is Also small and compact which is great for travel. and if you really need a 5 mega pixel this is a great price. Cons- ifyou need a fast shutter speed for small kids that do things in a blink of an eye there are other camera out there that will do the job better. I can take almost 2 pics with my other camera before this one is ready after taking the first picture. I am not real pleased with the picture quality it blurs around the edges I have taken better pics with my other camera. Also probably not real important but I do not like the how images look on the LCD screen it is kind of distracting.
Digital camera Review: So what if it's made of plastic!
Summary: 4 Stars
If there are disadvantages to having the casing made of plastic, I don't know what they are. This is a wonderful camera at 5 megs for the price. You can shoot in black + white, and sepia formats. About the only minus is the too-small lcd viewfinder display on the back. That's about the only drawback I've encountered. Great value and performace...so far.Digital camera Review: I like it

This is my first digital camera. I went with a 5.1 megapixel because I wanted the flexibility of printing larger photos if I ever wanted to. I never have, but hey, you never know. A few observations so far:
I've heard bad things about digital zoom in terms of quality. If you take pictures at the highest setting (5.1 megapixels), the digital zoom feature isn't available, so you don't have to worry about possibly pixelated pictures. However, at lower settings (3 megapixel for example), the zoom bar shows a green line signifying when digital zoom is being used. Yes, you can turn off digital zoom, but with this camera, you can keep it on and see when you are in digital zoom.
I thought the battery life was weak, but it's actually pretty good. A friend bought another brand of digital camera and complained that after taking just one picture, the battery would drain. He found out that the batteries that shipped with his camera were cheap and underpowered and he had to buy a better battery. The batteries with this camera are fine. I thought the batteries were draining, but I was looking at the memory stick indicator (gimme a break, I said it was my first digital camera).
Video capture is ok, especially for a camera. I've only used the 32 MB stick that comes with the camera, and I've been able to capture the "video mail" size which is very small, but easy to send in an email, and the 640 size, which is better, but still a little choppy. As I understand it, the Pro memory sticks enable you to capture at the "Fine" setting, which is supposed to be better. I have still found it suitable to capture those humorous moments in video.
The flash is very bright. I took a picture where I couldn't even see anything on the LCD screen, and the flash was bright enough to make it look like the lights were on.
I was able to view the pictures I took on my TV without any problems, using the cable that came with the camera. I was also able to view the videos I took, and the videos do have sound.
The camera also has sound when turning on, taking a picture, and navigating the menus. They're not annoying, and actually are nice as confirmation for changing a setting (and when taking a picture, you get that shutter sound like on an old-fashioned camera). It also has a volume control and plays back the sound when reviewing video on the camera.
All in all, this was a great purchase, especially for my first digital camera. It fits in a jacket pocket nicely, and has great features (I haven't even got through the manual, but it's easy enough to use without going thorough the whole thing). One more note--it takes 6 hours to charge the batteries when you first get it (a battery charger is included).
