Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Ease of use, Not to big not to small (fits well in hand). GREAT PICTURE!!! Awesome features. Weakness: Uses Sony Proprietary Memory cards I had a Canon A70 Powershot prior to getting this camera. This camera is 110% better as far as features, quality, accessories, and everything else I've seen so far. The Canon was nice, but not nearly as nice as this camera. Highly Recommended

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Great pics, easy to use. Weakness: The included battery charger is slow, takes 6 hours to fully charge the two batteries. What else could you possibly ask for in a point and shoot digital camera? It gives mostly great pictures in auto mode (every camera made spits out a bad pic now & then, mainly in adverse lighting conditions). It also has a few limited manual controls and an excellent macro (close-up) mode. The length of mpeg movies are only limited by the size of your memory stick. (A lot of Digicams limit you to...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Solid body,good price & reliable name. Weakness: None Found This is my second Sony digital camera. The Mavica F88 being the first. I looked at the Cannon S45, nice but to much $$$ and more camera than I need. Cannon A70 to small and chrome refective band around LCD screen. Most of the New cameras are very small, the Sony P72 is a little bit larger in size and fits in my hands perfect. I looked at the Sony P8 as well and it was too small for me. The P72...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: 3.2 P, 3X optical zoom, exposure control, ISO choice, white balance control, flash control, price Weakness: Lag between pushing shutter button and when actual picture is taken, although this may be common in most digital cameras. I have no basis for comparison for the Sony is my first digital camera. I am a novice at digital photography and actually had to take a community service course on how to buy a digital camera. From the course I was able to establish my needs and desirable features of a digital camera for us. The Sony has met every expectation so far, not the least being the very reasonable price of $175.00 on sale at a local electronics outlet. With PriceGrabber's help, I purchased a...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Easy to use, nice pictures, packed with features for the price. Weakness: Included memory card is small. I am happy with the camera and would buy it again. 16mb memory card that comes with camera is a waste, it is to small. usb access via cable camera direct to computer = no cradle which makes it nice and easy to connect to any computer adn get photos with or without SONY's included software.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: VERY COMPACT! EXCELLENT QUALITY PICTURES! Weakness: BATTERY CHARGER TAKES 6 HOURS TO CHARGE TO FULL LOAD I'VE HAD THIS CAMERA FOR 2 YRS. UPGRADING FROM ANOTHER DCS-P. I WILL UPGRADE TO THE DCS-P150 OR 200 NEXT BUT AS OF NOW I'M COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THIS ONE. I'VE TAKEN OVER 4000 PICS USING THE SAME BATTERIES THAT CAME WITH IT AND THEY'RE STILL GOING STRONG. I BOUGHT A 30 MINUTE CHARGER AND THESE BATTERIES CHARGE IN IT IN 30 MINUTES TOPS. IT'S VERY WELL BUILT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA TO...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: weight, quality Weakness: Needs a bigger memory chip, but 16MB is ok, picky on batteries Decided to spend the extra bucks for the 72 because of it's 3X capability. Just got my two Sony cams dvc2000 and dvc72 in the mail. They were in factory sealed boxes with a full US warranty from an authorized dealer(6TH AVE). And they work fine straight from the box. Be aware to use the batteries they suggest or you will get intermttant functions. Alkaline or the batteries inclosed will work...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Price, Brand, Unlimited Video shooting mode Weakness: Image quality is not so super, even in sunny days, bulky for today's standards This was my second digital cam after 1.2 MP Olympus, although the resolution was lower, I did have beter daylight shootings with Olympus. Sony seem to make this model without much attantion to the detail. 3.2 MP is great but the pic quality should have been greater. Price is great (around $290), don't pay more. Continuous video shooting at 640X480 is a great asset, no need to get a digicamcorder....

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72
Sony's P72 is the latest in their midrange, mid-sized Cyber-shot "P" series line. A 3.2 megapixel CCD, 3x zoom, and host of useful features make this a solid all-around digicam, a great choice for a "family" camera. Top

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 3.2 Megapixel Compact Camera
Strengths: This camera takes very sharp and high quality pictures! In addition, it is very easy to use. Using the inexpensive and long lasting AA size NiMH batteries is also a big plus.
Weakness: None so far.
I've previously owned a SONY DSC-P50 digital camera for two years, and very happy with it! Many of my friends who saw the pictures taken by this camera where very impressed. As a result, some of them bough the same ones. Now, I wanted to upgrade to a higher resolutions. Since 4-5MP CCD is too much for me, I bought the SONY DSC-P72 with 3.2MP CCD. Today, I did the comparisons of the pictures...
