Best buy for moderately priced digital camera

by kendalm , Apr 12 '03
Pros: Compact, excellent picture quality, VGA video clips with sound, zoom
Cons: No camera case included
I purchased this for $399. There are other Sony options for cheaper, but then you lose megapixel resolution, or they use alkaline batteries, inferior video clips, etc.

After scrutinizing other cameras (Kodak, Fuji, Canon), this one had all of...

My first digital camera - it was great at first...

by linlu , Mar 26 '04
Pros: Compact. Decent pictures. Removable media.
Cons: Snapping pictures is slow. Can't download software from web site. Recharging every 75-100 pictures.
I received this camera as my requested mother's day present. I wanted something that could hold a few hundred pictures on removable media and would easily upload to my computer. I also wanted long battery life - the ability to shoot a couple of hundred ...

Good Starter Digital Camera But Just Not Quite Enough For The Shutterbug In You

by hanmanius , Jan 17 '04
Pros: 3.2 MP, Ease of use, LCD Screen, Sony's build quality
Cons: 16 MB Memory Stick inadequate in a bad way
I bought this camera in Qatar while on R&R during Operation Iraqi Freedom cause I was sick of paying for film. I bought the camera for $279 and I actually at the time thought it was a somewhat of a bargain. The camera has a lot of features some of which ...

Good Camera for an Amateur!

by jkflavell , Feb 01 '05
Pros: Small & lightweight, great pics when they come out, simple features, NO BATTERIES!
Cons: Flashes too long, and too long to recharge, not sturdy!
I'm an amateur photographer, so my review may not be helpful to those of you who are true photographers, but more helpful to those who are just purchasing their first digital cam. This camera is good for what you pay for. I can't say it's the best ...

The P-8, A great all around Point and Shoot

by ngeniousguy , Mar 11 '08
Pros: Great pictures with minimal effort, Mpeg videos,light, stylish, Rechargeable lithium battery, Easy to use, Compact
Cons: Lag between shots with flash, Memory Stick included is very small, Very average battery charge
What can I say about this camera... I purchased this camera in 2004 for about $270 dollars. Since then, its become a trusty companion for all of my life's events. 3.2 mega pixels is pretty low by today's standards, but the pictures are still great ...

Pros: Very compact; reasonable price for the features (3.2MP, info-lithium battery, ...)

- 3.2 megapixels
- built-in flash
- infrared auto-focus (allows accurate focus in dark...

Great Camera

by airmedic , Feb 17 '04
Pros: Compact, light, very easy to use
Cons: Requires Sony's battery pack You are almost required to buy upgraded memory stick ($50)
I did a lot of research to purchase a new camera. This site was one of them. I decided on Sony after talking to a service guy at BestBuy and he said Sony was one of the least returned digital cameras for defects/problems. Then I narrowed it down from ...

ZERO STARS: COMPANY NOT RESPONSIVE TO MY NEEDS
by consumersaavy ,Nov 06 '04
Pros: Small and easy to carry.
Cons: Not user friendly, instructions not easy, downloading difficult, battery short life, memory chip expensive, etc.
Camera was recommended by a friend and I purchased it through Best Buy. My rebate request apparently was received a few days after deadline and was refused. The instruction book is not user friendly, which means I do not get the full use of the options. Will purchase next camera from different store and different company. So, from someone who used to only purchase Sony products, one little digital camera and the service, or lack of, has turned me off.
