Summary: The Best Option Out There
Review: We got an open box special from a circuit city in Mass. It was 450$. It normally goes for 499, which is still cheaper than most 4MP cameras. I am in between being an amateur photo and pro. I gave in to the digi revolution because my 35mm broke. We took this camera on our trip and used it very often. The battery on this camera lasts up to and over 2 hours per battery, which is about 1.5 hours longer than the DSC-P09. The movie mode is incredible, slightly better than a web cam, and the microphone is suprisingly good. good enough for a concert! We bought a sony computer around the same time and we were very happy (and mindful) of the media stick input in our computer. The full size pictures import very quickly (2.6 ghz computer). The crispness of the photos is unlike anything I have ever seen. The only time when you start to see any distortion is when you view the photos at 200X magnification. The pictures, unless you plan on printing over 25 X 25, are better than you'll ever need. The ease of use is far above average. The lens is good enough (as good as all the others, except the one with the Zeiss lens) the LCD screen is big enough, the shooting modes are easy, etc. The biggest feature and selling point of this camera over any other is the 90 minute movie mode.

The negatives are you can't choose to shoot in black and white, only sepia, which is very close, and that indoor pictures come out poorly. Unless there is a lot of natural light, the picture will come out either fuzzy or the color won't be right (I hear that's the same with all digis).

Summary: I have never seen so much misinformation
Review: I had a dsc-9 that was stolen so I purchased the newer model. Both cameras are great. READ THE MANUAL AND LEARN HOW TO USE THE CAMERA.

The camera lets you know if there is not enough light to take the picture, and it automatically defaults to "NO FLASH" MODE. If the lighting is dark the shutter will slow and still take the picture. This is true with any camera. Slow shutter speeds cause BLURRY pictures. If you want to take pictures in very low light you have to use a tripod, AS WITH ANY CAMERA.

This camera packs so many features in a small package it is incredible. These features are worthless if you fail to learn how to use them. I bet every person that gave this camera a poor review still has a vcr that has the clock blinking 12:00am.

If you want a high resolution camera that is fairly easy to use, strongly consider this camera. Also consider purchasing Jasc Paintshop Pro for an inexpensive way to improve any photo you take. Unfortunately, you have to learn how to use the program as well.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I owned a P5 before getting this P10 and I am not at all impressed with the quality. The features are great, but I can't seem to get a decent picture out of it. I have tried different settings and while the added pixels provided a better quality, every picture I take is blurry. I've probably taken close to 1000 pictures and I the most important shots come out blurry. I never had this problem with my P5, and this upgrade was not an upgrade at all.

Summary: another typical sony..
Review: This camera takes really nice pictures, but very generously spends its lithium ion battery. As a usual Sony, it makes you to buy other sony products, especially the memory stick. Although slightly more expensive the other kinds of digital storing media, I like it so far.
The more u use the camera the more you like it. I haven't gone through the software much, I am using XP, but most people haven't enjoyed pixela I guess.
have a spare battery, and spare memory stick you ll like the camera more.
wish it had a better(larger)lens aperture, but this is the problem with this family of digital cameras, small, handy, portable but has limitations.
Flash is very good as far as I ve seen, and sometimes more powerful than you really need, good idea to set it at normal, and if that is not enough, go for a higher setting.
clever camera, e mail option is very handy, but slows the whole process of taking pictures, dont use it if you are in need of successive shots..

Summary: Best camera 5-stars plus
Review: This is a great camera, but you must learn to use it correctly. buy the sony 256MB pro stick at least and an extra battery. The people who gave this camera a poor review did not read the manual fully and have very unsteady hands while holding the camera. Plus don't understand lighting fully.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not perfect, but still really nice!
Review: We bought the P10, 5 megapixel camera for Christmas, and we've now used it for about 3 months. I've experienced the problems with the blurriness, caused by a delay between flash and shutter, that have been mentioned by others, but I'm getting better. There is some skill involved with using the camera well, but it's not all that heard. I have benefitted from putting the camera on a tripod to minimize the impact of my shaky hands. Very small tripods that you can fit in your camera case are available.

The biggest aid for me is to remember is that I'm not wasting film if I take multiple pictures of the same scene. At least one of the pictures is sure to turn out great!

Other positives on the camera:
o Great, small size
o Lightweight
o Seems to charge quickly
o Holds scads of pictures with larger memory stick
o Very easy to start using. I read through the manual once and was ready to start.
o The fuzziness can be overcome with practice. And since you can delete your mistakes on the spot, you can practice all you want!!!

Negatives:
o The memory card that comes standard is just too small. If you plan to take lots of pictures on a vacation, the small card is probably a waste.
o The fuzziness may cause you to lose some shots.

Summary: Not the best if you have children
Review: We bought this camera in anticipation of the birth of our first baby. Half the pictures from the delivery room came out blurry. The ones that came out in focus are beautiful but we are very disappointed. All of the other features are wonderful. We have called Sony's help line and cannot solve the problem. I am at the end of my rope with this camera. I feel I am missing out on irreplaceable moments.

This is a great camera as long as you are taking picutes of non moving things - not a baby.

Summary: Lot Better Than What I Expected!
Review: I used old digital camera from Sony (2.1MP, about 3 years old). Good experience with Sony Cybershot, I purchased DSCP10 week ago. When I opened box, it was full of everything that I really needed. Here are pros and cons:
1. It is very easy to use for first time user. (Might be little harder for first time Cybershot user)
2. Small enough to carry on pocket
3. Good Quality of Picture (Of course, it is not better than SLR... However, it is good enough to print and keep it)
4. Full Support with MPEG2 Movie clip. (128MB will last almost 6 min. Should be able to capture memory)
5. On Sceen control (Most of menu/function shown on LCD)
etc....

Battery life is not quite long. If I can have extra battery, that would be great... Also, data transfer to comp is not quite fast. Maybe, Memory Stick Pro will solve this problem. little heavy...

Overall, I like this camera. If someone wants to buy around me, I'll recommend this one first. Please get this one. You will like it!

Summary: Muy buena Camara.....pero.....
Review: Compre la Sony DSC-P10 hace unos 6 meses y creo que es una buena camara digital. Al aire libre capta muy buenas imagenes y su capacidad de grabar pelicula con sonido por medio del memory stick la hace una muy buena eleccion, sin mencionar las innumerables otras caracteristicas que esta camara posee sobre las otras cybershot. (Es mucho mas pequeña que las otras DSC-P y 5 MP). El problema viene cuando quieres captar imagenes en interiores o con poca luz.....es un desastre. Ni siquiera se pueden identificar las imagenes un su pantalla de cristal liquido y al "revelarlas" las fotos pierden toda su riqueza de colores como las captadas al aire libre. Siendo un fanatico de Sony me duele aceptar ese hecho. Espero sea de ayuda. (En español es mejor!!)

Summary: the cam is the greatest but my pics with it not
Review: I had the SOny DSC 1 with 3,2 megapixel before. THat one i loved, I tohught to change it cause the dsc10 is smaller and 5 is supposed to be much better quality. THe compact sire and the easy menu and the videorecording pic and voice quality is excellent.

But I might not know it well how to use or dunno but half of my pic are blurry , not sharp , too dark. I try to fix the settings well but i am not an Xpert in it . WIth DSC ' everything was automatic. Maybe this is too clever for me but i dont think it seems to be worse pic quality . Farer objects with oom not bright enough and not sharp. I cannot decided wich flash to use. SOmehow i love the cam but could t learn how to make good pics with it . I bought it 31th of December.
