| suesin44's Full Review: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P72 Digital Camera |
This is the first digital camera I bought. I am a bit of a technology buff and after a lot of research I picked the P72. This camera is great! The 3.2 mega pixels are more than enough if you are just taking basic pictures, 5x7 's, to get developed. The zoom is great too, and I actually find the battery life to be ok as long as you use the lithium ones. However, if you use regular Duracells they only last about an hour of continous shooting.
This camera also has video capability. The videos are pretty good, better than what you would expect with a digital camera, but not nearly as good as a camcorder.
I also find the software to be ok. Uploading the pictures are a breeze, you can set it up to automatically save on your HD when plugged into your USB drive, and it's very fast!
Overall, this camera is a great buy. Especially now because they are getting lower in price as Sony is introducing newer models. Why this camera over the P52 or the P92? The P52 does not have as good zoom capabilites and I think that there is no need to go a step above to the P72 for 5 MP unless you take professional photos. The P72 is a great deal!! :)
