Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

I've used this camera for several different purposes in its first week. It's easy enough to use that it doesn't matter that I've already lost the manual! All the menus are logically laid out and buttons clearly marked. [This matters to me as I'm getting on a bit and don't like fiddly buttons or hard-to-read screens]. They are a sensible size, as well, and the weight of the camera, which at first struck me as excessive actually gives a solid feel ...
...superb for portraits and views; it's use of flash is perhaps a bit too generous [though it gets flash exposures spot on] but it's easy enough to turn the flash off if necessary. It's less good for close-up or macro photos, where the barrel distortion of the lens becomes disturbing. I haven't used it for videos, I'd use a camcorder for them. Three things are irritating about this camera. The pettiness of not including a case of some sort - even ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

The camera is easy to use, and offers a wide range of different options to alter your photograph images. A simple menu is used to describe the functions of the camera and battery and photograph number status. The zoom functions allow better photograph capture. A hit with others is the film option, this allows a permanent memory of an event with sound, without carrying around a camcorder. Drawbacks to the camera include a high battery comsumption, ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

...with very long lasting rechargeable sony batteries (AA size) but if you are out (say on holiday) and the camera batteries run out you can use ordinary AA batteries to get you by. (Ordinary batteries do not last very long - only about 20 mins - but I still think this is useful.) All in all I am extremely pleased with my choice. The few disadvantages are as follows: Compared to some models, it is a little on the large side - not exactly pocketable. ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

I have had this camera for just over 3 years, I find it very easy to use. Great for holidays, and school events. You can take pictures from 1 million mega pixels up to 5 million mega pixels. There is also an email option in set up which squashes the picture down so you can send as an email attachment on your computer. You can shoot short movie clips by switching to movie set up, ideal for sports day if you do not want to take a camcorder. You can ...
...row on different set up features. You also have a rechargeable batter charger included, so you can recharge the batteries you can also use AA batteries which I take on holiday with me as extras. There is a 3 x optical zoom which is very good. You can take pictures either looking through the viewfinder or looking at the screen, there is the usual red eye and automatic flash set ups. It is very easy to view all the pictures on the camera and delete ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

I've had my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92 about three months before this I had the Sony Digital Mavica FD71. I changed because I wanted a smaller camera that I could put in my pocket and take anywhere. The P92 is an excelent camera that is quite easy to use and produces first clas photographs. I have used mine to take photos at football matches (non league) and the quality I have been getting when taking goalmouth shots from the half way line have to be ...
...on a web site and they have proved to be very popular. Anway back to the camera, firstly I am a complete novice in photography but found the P92 easy to use TRUE I do not use all the features on the camera but that will come in time FORS Light Easy to use Great photos Easy to transfer on to PC AGAINSTS Small memory stick (i obtained a bigger one) No carry case I have been well pleased with the camera and for a bigginer in digital photography ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

Took on holiday recently and was very pleased at how easy the camera was to use. We used up the memory card taking loads of pics however additional cards were easily purchased abroad. With cameras of this specification you can review all of the pictures taken and erase those you don't want. What an advantage over 'ordinary' film cameras when the only time you get to see the picture is when it's developed. Features most useful features include zoom, ...
...Mine came with a case that was very handy and protected the body. Making use of the memory stick and links to PC/TV you can view pictures on a larger screen and even have a go at basic editing. My daughter of eleven found these options easy to use and what a lifesaver when several pictures are needed for a school project - I no longer waste lots of money on developing pictures that never used to be good enough! Recommend you consider purchasing ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

I've had the camera for the last six months now, and in truth I can't really complain (much). I never had a dream to become a photographer, but I wanted something a bit tasty to snap shots of my little nephew and niece whilst they were still cute. I bought the camera for two main reasons: 1. Because it was Sony. 2. Because of the versatility it promised. I can truthfully say that it has lived up to that promise, with great snaps and video to ...
...what the conditions are like, the camera copes admirably. Thanks to the comprehensive, if somewhat technical and overlong, instruction manual, using the versatility of the machine is relatively easy, even for the novice, but I would recommend that anyone buy one of these sit down with the book for a couple of hours before taking the camera out of the box. When it is quoted as a 5M pixel camera, there is no mention that this is merely one of the ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

The Sony DSC-P92 is another quality model produced by Sony. It enables the user to capture pictures of any sizes and short videos. I found this product on Pixmania and it came with all the supplies and an extra 128mb card. The 128mb card will hold roughly 6 minutes of video footage so it isnt that long, but good to get some small videos at events. The camera has 5.0 MegaPixels, 3x Optical Zoom and 5x digital zoom. This camera comes with imaging ...
...own movies. It also comes with 2 rechargeable batteries with a charger. If you order this online, there will be quite a large delivery fee due to the weight of the box. This is mainly due to 4 or 5 thick heavy manuals covering quite a few languages. However, i did find a couple of disadvantages when using this product. 1. the normal camera package does not come with a carry case ; has to be bought seperately. 2. the USB port into the camera isnt ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

I have had this camera for nearly 6 months and it is used almost daily. I bought it as an upgrade from a 2m pixcel camera. When compared with some of the 3.2 and 4meg cameras I was looking at, it was very good value for money. The picture quality is excellent and I have printed up to 12 by 10 with very satisfying results The controls are easy to use and the menus are simple to understand. Which is just as well since the manual is not particularly ...
...me that improves its handleability and it feels robust Using it feels much more like using a conventional camera than some other digitals I have used, including a very reassuring shutter click. The lack of full manual exposure setting may irk the most creative of photographers, but the ability to manually select apertures gives enough control over depth of field for general use. There is also the handy facility to up or down stop that you get with ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P92

Had this camera for about a month and have yet to put it down. The picture quailty is great, outside and in. The pictures are so easy to download and they can last forever. Great thing is winding up friends with the dodgy pictures you've taken of them!! It is slightly heavier than convential cameras but every other feature makes up for that. Its easy to use and if you have got a problem then theres always someone on hand to help you. I have so much ...
