Editorial Reviews : Pick up this digital camera and keep your friends and relatives updated on your family's current events. The 3x optical/6x precision digital zoom lens catches close up shots that are stored on an included 8MB Memory Stick. Download shots onto your computer via the USB connector with cable and driver. The 3.21 mp effective CCD image sensor (3.34 mp gross) captures clean sharp details in every photo opportunity. The intelligent flash and high-speed scan Autofocus are other great features.
Buyer Reviews : I was given this camera for Christmas (2001) as a present from my Girlfriend and am quite familiar with it. In a nutshell, the camera is excellent. I had previously used Sony digital cameras on a loan basis throughout Europe and Australia and to own this latest version is just fantastic and I am privileged.
The camera comes with software which allows editing of still and mpeg images. The supplied memory stick however, is only 8meg and this is the only criticism I have. I bought a 64 meg which helps more. Will be getting a 128 meg memory stick soon. Noting the size and quality of the pictures this camera is capable of taking - and the photos are brilliant, you need storage space so at least a 64mb stick is required. That is unless you want to concentrate on just taking small volume jpg's suitable for emailing. The camera doesn't come with a cover but this can be purchased separately, or any old camera cover will do. A spare battery would be a bonus. I guess its these add-ons which help Sony to maintain the profits.... Once again, only minor criticisms. The quality of the P5 is very good and typical of Sony. The camera is very small and able to be carried quite easily in a pocket. Once again, the quality of photos are excellent and with all digital cameras, the savings in the long term must add up through editing the photos you want and simply printing the good ones. Possession of the software program 'Adobe Photoshop Pro' adds another dimension however the supplied program with the camera is good enough for the average user. What else can I say, other than I highly recommend the P5. My parents have the P3 which has less zoom and a lower pixel capacity for fine photos and it too is great....
