Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P71 Digital Camera

Pros: Compact design, easy to use, great picture quality
Cons: Can't be used right out of the box, but that's obviously not a big deal

This is my first digital camera, which I received as a gift. I've been using a 35mm auto-focus camera for years.

I did once borrow a Polaroid PDC-640 for about a week, to take pictures of some things around our house for record-keeping...

Pros: Impressive zoom capability, handy size and weight, night scene facilities useful
Cons: Limited picture adjustment facilities, batteries take an age to charge and run out quickly

The P71 is the smallest and cheapest model in Sony's CyberShot range to feature optical zoom, but apart from this, it is more or less identical to the smaller P51 in terms of features. The most visible sign that you have paid more for the P71 is when...

Pros: great pictures quality, good usability, light
Cons: expensive accessories, video mode

Hello everybody,

I own a Sony CyberShot DSC-P71 Digital Camera for more than 6 months. With small exceptions I am overall very pleased with it; I think it is a wonderful piece of technology, a good investment and return of investment. I am...

Pros: Excellent photo quality, extreme ease of use, SONY styling.
Cons: Small memory stick, limited manual settings. No sound on movie mode.

This is a great camera for point and shoot users. It boots up in about 3 seconds for fast use on the go, and can shoot stills one after the other. There is also a burst mode that can allow you to analyse your golf swing if you want, or even make an mpeg...

Pros: Nice, compact, decent pictures and lots of user controls
Cons: Proprietary connectors, long battery-charging time, control buttons are hard to use

When it's time to upgrade my bare bone Kodak 1 megapixel cam, I decided that this time it'd better be something decent. My criteria are 3 MP, 3x optical zoom and good quality pictures. Which is not a lot to ask for these days. For a while, I ponder...

Pros: Image Quality, Size, Memory Capability, Look & Feel
Cons: No Sound When Doing Video Clips (But Then Again, It's A Camera), Small LCD

I bought this camera in late July of 2002 and I love this thing. I have been in the market for a digital camera, going to different websites and seeing what's out there, going to friends who have digital cameras and see what they recommend, and (OF...

Pros: Batteries! You need only two, they give long life, they are supplied.
Cons: Auto camera shut off, LCD stays on!

The Sony DSC-P71 is the slightly larger and slightly de-featured version of the Sony DSC-P7. Both cameras have 2048x1536 maximum resolution in both fine and standard modes. The major difference being the camera body design (the 71 is slightly larger than...

Pros: Easy to use, expansive options
Cons: Poor battery life, flash issues

For those looking to make a transition from 35mm cameras to digital pictures, this camera provides a phenomenol medium for this change.

I made my decision to switch to digital prints after I got back 5 rolls of vacation photos - all terrible...

Pros: Ease of use, lightweight, great pictures, Ability to take pictures fast.
Cons: Red-eye reduction not very good, comes with small memory stick.

I was very impressed with DSC-P71's performance.It takes about four seconds from turning on the power until you capture the first image. The shot to shot time is less than two seconds even at the largest image size and highest quality. To use the flash...

Pros: Size, Ease of use, Picture Quality
Cons: Storage space, LCD screen, No sound recording capability

Purchased this digital camera about 2 months ago. Couldn't be more happy. For a beginner in digital camera's and their operation, this camera is simple to use and easy to understand.
Picture taking is very easy. Mode selection is simple. We've...

Pros: Quality components. Small size and excellent overall photo quality.
Cons: A bit hard to figure out all functions.

I have held out on buying a decent digital camera over the years as there are still many issues regarding output, ease of use and durability. As my only use for a digital camera was for occasional website use or Ebay pictures, I got by with the little...

Pros: Excellent pics, extremely easy to use.
Cons: Can not use out of box, shutter lag time (esp. on flash)

I reseached extensively before I bought my camera so I was prepared for the drawbacks this camera had. The first of which being the batteries needing about 13 hours to charge. I was receiving this as a Christmas present so I opened up the box and...

Pros: Really easy to use. Excellent quality photos.
Cons: That "do not touch" rule when lens is extending or contracting.

Truth is I broke down and bought a digital camera because I couldn't get the drivers for my scanner when I bought a new computer. Sigh. It's tough being a technodummy.

Oh blessed ignorance! My Sony DSC-P71 has opened whole new worlds of...

Pros: Great pictures, autofocus illuminator, sturdy, camera "feel," compact, simple, battery life, easy connectivity.
Cons: Initial memory and charger inadequate, no sound, Pixela software unintelligible.

As an amateur photographer who prefers a manual focus SLR and prime lenses for control and picture quality, I wanted a digital camera to take snapshots and as a "backup" camera for traveling pictures. My search led to the Sony DSC-P71, a 3.2 megapixel...

Pros: Low price for a VERY GOOD QUALITY
Cons: Bigger memory card required...Poor Battery life .little LCD screen.

Very easy to use, the Sony DSC-P71 is a very good choice for people who wants a good digital camera for a low price from the competition...
