j-r-r-r's Full Review: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P32 Digital Camera
I bought this camera last June 2003 mainly to its low cost compared to other similar existing models. Also I want to throw away the very low-tech digital camera I have the old Yahoo! compact digital cam, what a waste!
Now, the main feature that I like in this product is the simple connectivity to PC using USB, but the Pixela software is mediocre. Another one is the simple power supply system it uses, a AA-size batteries, which is basically a very convenient one, unlike in other models where they have their own special battery type. So if suddenly you run out of charge in the field, you can just buy 2pcs of AA size Alkaline batteries, and use it!
The resolution or picture quality of the output of DSCP32 is exceptional, but the supplied memory stick is not enough so better buy a much higher capacity. Also, the MPEG Movie VX feature of this camera enables you to capture a video (with audio) to the full extent of the capacity of the memory stick which is another big plus unlike in other brands where some are limited to only 3mins maximum.
The only thing that I don't like with this camera is the size. Sony should have designed this camera in a more compact or smaller size because it doesn't have the optical zoom mechanism anyway.
