Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Overall picture quality, color depth, lightweight sleek design, easy-to-use, slow-syncro flash, 9 picture modes, LONG battery life, timer function, 640x480 movies inc. sound, either NiMH or Lithium..

Weakness: Proprietary media format (Sony Memory Stick & Memory Stick Pro), Cost of media.

Probably the BEST digital point & shoot camera on the market today. Not only can you use either NiMH or Lithium for incredibly long battery life, you can use either Memory Stick OR Memory Stick Pro Media for faster picture recording ability (nearly instant) and hundreds of photos (Memory Stick Pro up to 1GB) I bought this camera as an upgrade to my old Sony for a trip to Europe, what an...

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Excellent pictures even with a flash. Quick picture capture. Lot's of features. Will accept regular Alkaline Batteries in case of emergency. Sony quality.

Weakness: As previously stated memory sticks more expensive. Uses batteries that charge in an external charger which is bulkier than a normal plug in charger.

I am very happy with my purchase. The camera has too many options to mention all. Some of the selling points are the excellent pictures both during the day and at night using a flash. In addition, other qualitites include mpeg recording with sound from a built in mic. I also liked the fact that there is an optional underwater housing, available. I have yet to find any true weaknesses.

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: This camera is one of the most compact cameras that delivers the most stunningly vivid images. I think that it pack a great amount of features, such as the well crafted zoom lens.

Weakness: I think that the memory pro sticks are priced very high, but I believe that if you are serious about photography and want to caputre memories that it is really worth every penny.

This product is great for the pice it is offered at. Similar cameras are priced upwards of $360. Prints from this camera are awesome, I have a couple of 10x14s that are crystal clear and they reproduce accurate vibrant colors. Here are some quick features that might convince you to buy it: 5.1 Megapixels, multiple picture settings, manual modes, crisp MPEG movies, small size, long battery life,...

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Compact design, very handy, powers on really quick, takes only 2 AA size batt. Extremely good value for the money-less than 270$ total in one of the online stores (jan/05)

Weakness: Made in China, My previous camera - Sony DSCP5 was made in Japan! but it is a matter of trust in quality of labor, I guess...

Several things if you considering buying this camera: 1. To take advantage of shooting movies in Fine mode you need Memory Stick PRO - buy min 512 MB (approx. 85$ on ebay -as of Jan/05) don't settle for a smaller ones, you will buy bigger sooner ot later. 2. Invest some extra money in spare NiMH batteries - I got 8 batt + international 1hour charger for 21$ on ebay - I am NOT going to run out of...

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: New design is sleeker than P92; burst shooting is greatly enhanced; longer battery life

Weakness: Trim/Edit feature is gone. Memory stick slot shares same compartment and cover as the batteries so each time you need to change the stick, you are resetting the cam. The P92 had its own media slot.

An outstanding value for the money. Has lower battery consumption rate than predecessor DSC P92. This is worth mentioning because it uses two AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, very inexpensive compared to proprietary lithium batteries. Burst shooting mode is vastly improved, able to capture 9 consecutive shots at full 5.1 MP resolution (haven't been able to guage fps yet).

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Excellent pixels, turns on fast, great movies, compact

Weakness: None that I can see

Excellent pixels, turns on fast, great movies, compact. I love this camera. My friend had an older version, and I was looking at the dscp92 before it was discontinued. I had an older Kodak that took awhile to turn on, which was one of the biggest problems. This one is great! I'll bring it with me everywhere.

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Easy to operate, got out of the box and start to learn/use right away. Lots of functions, great resolution.

Weakness: The memory stick (32MB) should be bigger and I already bought another for 512MB.

Great product/price/seller!!! Bought on 12/07/04 and received by 12/09/04. Highly recommend PriceGrabber, the camera and the seller BlueSwitch where salesman Jonathan really made a difference.

Sony Cyber-shot DSCP93 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Takes great pictures, very easy to use, perfect size to fit in your pocket for on the go

Weakness: would have been nice to come with a DC recharge cord for in-camera recharging instead of having to remove the batteries and place in a recharge pack, you have to buy the DC recharge cord separately

I have enjoyed my Cyber-shot DSC-P93 very much. I have found it very easy to use and the pictures have been great. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a versatile camera for on the go photos. It is very small and easily fits in your pocket. I wish it had a bit more zoom than 3X but its price, size, and ease of use more than make up for any weaknesses.
