  • DSC-P20: Budget-Minded Choice

    Oct 10 '01
    Pros: Inexpensive, great LCD resolution, and versatile file saving.
    Cons: Only comes with 4 MB stick which is not sufficient for some features.

    Summary: I recently cleaned out my attic and discovered that I had a virtual goldmine of items that I could parlay on eBay. My only problem was that I needed a decent digital camera to photograph my treasures. I quickly realized that digital cameras are still...

    Nov 04 '04
    Pros: You can't beat it for the price. Great for ebay.
    Cons: Flash is weak, battery, the stock memory.

    Summary: I purchased the Sony DSC-P20 Digital Camera over a year and a half ago for around $199 dollars. It was the best investment I've made in years. The camera, a year later still works as great as the day I purchased it. The easy USB compatiability makes it a ...

  • Sony's Underachieveing Camera

    Aug 15 '02
    Pros: Relatively Cheap, Memory Stick Reader/Writer Drive, Ease of Use
    Cons: LCD Scratches Easily, sub-standard picture quality, battery life

    Summary: The Sony DSC-P20 was my second digital camera, I've used it for six months. The Camera itself is relatively small, not too small and not oversized like low-end Kodak or HP models. At first glance, the camera looks to be another great quality product from...

  • Great for the price!

    Jun 25 '02
    Pros: Small, lightweight, 1.3 Megapixel, Mpeg mode
    Cons: Burns batteries like the sun...

    Summary: Bought a Sony digital camcorder last summer but was unhappy with the 'still mode' resolution of 640 X 480. Wanted a higher resolution camera that still utilized my collection of memory sticks. Bought the DSC-P20 as a scratch and dent special for $89....

  • Don't buy this camera

    Jun 19 '02
    Pros: Features
    Cons: Picture Quality, Customer Service.

    Summary: While this camera has some nice features, the most important thing about purchasing a camera is not here: "Picture Quality". The picture quality of this camera is a joke. Pictures are pixelated and spotty. I've used other digital cameras before and...

  • Look elsewhere.

    May 19 '02
    Pros: Can't think of any
    Cons: Doesn't take good clear pictures, eats batteries, viewfinder is worthless.

    Summary: Not a bad deal, $99.95 for this camera, will give it a try, but asked first if I could return it if not happy. I wasn't happy. Put in two brand new alkaline batteries that I checked first and they were dead in a matter of minutes. I charged up a...

  • Sony D20 digital Camera

    Summary: I bought the camera for $139 at a K-mart that was closing, after reading good reviews off of this website.It has met my expectations and then some.The camera shoots great pictures and has a lot of nice features.The 4mb stick included with it is useless...

  • Great Introduction Into Digital Photograpgy

    Apr 11 '02
    Pros: Very easy to use, good image quality
    Cons: Eats batteries, no optical zoom

    Summary: With the entire hassle of getting pictures developed, and then having to scan them to get the image onto my computer, I decided that I had had enough. With my limited funds, I decided to buy the Sony DSC-P20 for $200, and overall it has been a great deal...

  • Great value for money

    Jan 25 '02
    Pros: Great quality images, very cheap for it's features and capabilities, takes videos.
    Cons: Only 4MB memory stick supplied, rechargeable battery needed.

    Summary: When buying the DSC-P20 I was also considering the Kodak 3600. I found that the 1.3 megapixel P-20 was cheaper, had more features, and even took better looking pictures than the Kodak 3600.

    The only complaints that I have about the P-20 are...

  • Super deal for the money!

    Jan 25 '02
    Pros: Great quality pictures, lots of features, inexpensive expansion
    Cons: Eats through AA batteries

    Summary: This camera is one of the best deals you can find for a mid-range digital camera. At 1.3 Megapixels, you will get great quality pictures, and the ability to take MPEG movie clips is virtually unheard of in camera's of this price range. The included 4 Meg...

  • Power Hungry

    Dec 30 '01
    Pros: Inexpensive, compact
    Cons: It will suck a set of AA batteries dry within 5 min.

    Summary: This little camera works really well if you can get it to stay on. When I first bought the camera I said, "Who needs the re-chargeable, that another $100." Well I went through 2 sets of AA batteries and I took two pictures. It got better when I bought...

    Cons: Only 1.3 MP, only 3x zoom

    Summary: I recently got this camera as a gift and I would have to say that upon my first reaction I was simply amazed.
    I believe that there is no other camera in this price range that is equivalent to this camera, period. Sony hits the digital camera market...

  • Fantastic Digital Camera for the Fiscally Challenged.

    Nov 26 '01

    Cons: Absolutely need a rechargable battery!

    Summary: I am stay at home mother of two and consider myself to be a "Jack of all Trades". I've been spending money for years on eBay and have been thrilled with the bargains I've found. Then it hit me! Why not cash in too? I had a Aiptek pen cam that I had...
