| lukern's Full Review: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P51 Digital Camera |
Update:
Like several of the things I have reviewed on this website, this camera is extremely durable. I have dropped it almost ten times, always from about five feet on many surfaces (concrete, gravel, brick, wood) It also can stand up to getting a little wet (i love taking pictures in the rain). Also it has been squished and banged in my back pack with damage at all!!
I wouldnt call myself a pro photographer or anything remotely close, but I am working on it. I needed a camera that I could take anywhere, had good quality pictures, and didnt cost an arm and a leg. The Sony DSC-P51 is that camera. I know you could easily find a better camera, but I really like it because it takes good sized photos that dont really need a lot of touch up. It also comes with rechargable AA batteries which is really cool because just in case I run out of juice I can go to any store and buy more. Try doing that with propietary rechargebles. Also it works seamlessly with my Mac using iphoto, but thats another review. All I can say is that this is a great camera at 2 megapixels and I have taken several first prize photos with it.
This camera uses memory sticks (duh, its sony) and for this camera it is ok. But, later when I want to move onto something else like a 5 megapixel camera 128 megabytes wont cover it for me.
