Should and Could be better - but nothing beats the price!
 |
I purchased the 2.1 MegaPixel DSC-P51 last year and was extremely happy with the quality of the pictures - the only trouble I had was trying to blow the pictures up. Faces became distorted and grainy, well what do you expect from 2.1 MegaPixel. Anyway fast-forward to this year and I purchased the DSC-P10, surely this would compare with the previous camera - however there have been some flaws to my new purchase and I thought you should know about it - no.1 The Battery is rechargable which is fine on small trips away from a power outlet, but horrible when you need to be out and about all day (battery time about 100 mins)Oh! and another battery will set you back over £50!!! no.2 Despite the fact it's a point and click camera - a lot of pictures will require you to be absolutely still as slight movement causes the pictures to become fuzzy or blurred - a common problem, but it's ten times worse than my previous Sony and quite a nuisance. No.3 Be prepared to spend money on lots of extras - a new Memory Stick Pro as anything under 256 MB holds hardly anything; a Carry Case- those of you familiar with Sony Cameras will know they cost extra (cheapest £19.99 but ill-fitting). Despite these flaws - the price is a knockout £299.00, silly cheap for a 5 million megapixel camera and the facilites are as good if not better than most of the others. The choice is yours.

The Best !
 |
A great tiny little thing. I'm using a DSC-P12 (Dark blue aluminium body), same model as DSC-P10 (Silver) except that it gets delivered with 2 batteries and a soft case. (This definitely is worth the additional couple of bucks!)Of course, you will need to spend a few days to play around to get the best quality fulfilled you, who doesn't ? It's easy to use and understand those functions. LCD screen is clear to show your pictures, though it's a bit slow to show the image you took. But It's not a big deal for just 1 sec delay ! Well, that delay occurred only if you are not using the newest version of Memory Stick - Pro. Besides, I am looking forward to get a 1GB memory stick. Unlimited video recording (but limited by the size of memory stick) is the best part which allowed me to take a MPEG video for the BBQ party I just had. This is so much fun ! Never feel regret for getting that ! p.s. I am definitely not SONY FANS, but have to admit that they are very well making this camera.

Great Sony Digital Camera
 |
Being late into the digital camera market, after much investigation decided the P10 was the camera I was looking for.I wanted portability and features, the P10 has surpassed my expectations with many advanced features that I used to pay a lot of money for on SLR or APS cameras. The flexibility to use it in program mode ( with default settings changed ) and to allow less advanced users to stick with default settings is very useful, with just a flick of a switch. The bracketing and multi sequence options are great. It has a PAL cable, which the write ups did not mention which connects it to the TV, which I wanted, and the Image download software is automatic when you plug the camera in. It weighs almost nothing and is very portable, looks cool and overall a purchase I am very happy with. On the down side the flash and or Focus seems slow to synchronize up and actually take a picture, but as I have only had the camera a day, I might be able to work that out.
