Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P9

This is my first digicam & I am pleased with my choice. I really like the ability to put it in my pocket and carry it around. The quality is better than I expected, although I do occassionally need to take another pic in a low light setting, because it's out of focus. I bought the 128mb memory stick, so space is no issue at all. Battery life has not been an issue either, I get about 90 - 120 minutes life with the display running. The only real issue I have is the lag time with the ...

I've discovered several potential pitfalls with digital cameras after using a Kodak DC240 for three years. I bought the CyberShot DSC-P9 to overcome them and it has succeeded. The worst problem I had previously was inability to focus in moderately low light, e.g. under a table. With no manual focus, these shots were completely impossible with my old camera. The Sony has an autofocus (AF) light that overcomes this well (also manual focus I haven't needed to use). Surprisingly, many other ...

I have been using a Kodak DC-50 for well over 5 years and was in dire need of an upgrade that could last me another 5 years. So far I have been very happy with this camera. The quality of pictures are very nice. What made me decide on this camera was the movie mode. This was the only one I could find that was limited to the amount of memory the camera has. I love that option. The video quality is actually quite good for a non video camera. Problems: Sometimes a picture will turn out ...

not great for night photography Problems: I like this camera for everything until i used it the night of my daughters first birthday party. I had to let my friend shoot the pictures for me with flash set to High Mode. Some pictures looked so bad as if flash was not used and the noise was too much to even correct with software as it was messing up contrast. Great camera for outdoor use but not in dark conditions.

* Very easy to use. Ideal for beginners. * Point and shoot literally (camera does work for you) * Good scenery function allows you to get the best results in twighlight or landscape environments * 3xOptical Zoom. A must have for portrait shots and family photos * Compact design. Ideal to slip in your pocket * Metal casing is attractive and durable * Images are very sharp * Screen is bright * On-Screen Info is informative and essential (battery life) Overall, an excellent camera and an ideal ...

I had a P1 for 3 years. Really want to buy a new DC since more and more on shelf. Thought about getting a manual function type..such as S45 or F717. Finally, I come back to Cyber shot P9. I am not a photographer. Having this camera to take down nice views, things want to remeber on trips... Don't really have a chance to adjust all the manual functions before taking down pics. I believe P9 is good enough as a daily camera. The only concern I am having is the battery life. It wan't so bad ...

I wanted a very small, take anywhere point and shoot camera with great pictures. After reading all of the magazine/web reports by professional testers, and trying in the shops at length, ALL the small ones I found this is the best. You cannot compare it to a big SLR type, or even the full size S85. Thats not a fair comparison. But for this category this is the one that exels - and it shows in my wonderful bright, sharp pictures.

A gem! Amazingly crystal clear photos from a camera that just drops into your purse! Simple to use (even for an amateur like me), and you dont have to take the battery out every time like all the other small cameras. This one has a strong flash as well. I printed out my A4 size (8x10) pictures and friends thought they were from a shop! I like the skin colours, and you can adjust the sharpness for a softer look on portraits. Nice sexy body as well....:) Problems: Manual could have been in ...
