Reliable basic camera
I bought a DSC-P52 after my wife left our DSC-P92 on an airplane. I felt compelled to buy another Sony because of the investment in proprietary memory sticks I've made. For the record this is the fourth SONY camera I've bought and I am quite loyal to the brand. The other cameras all work great; I just keep buying nicer versions with more options. In general, I'm happy with my choice. THe P52 is reliable and predictable. The P92 model got 4 megapixels per image while the P52 only gets 3.2. I actually consider this an advantage because fewer megapixels allows for more photos or longer movies. The difference in quality is almost negligible. Compared to sleeker and newer models, the P52 is a bit clunky and awkward. The lens doesn't retract into the camera body like my old P92, so it was hard to find a good camera bag for it. On the flip side, I would caution the buyer against a product with many moving parts, bells and whistles. The more of that stuff you have, the greater potential for something not working correctly--even if it's a SONY. I believe that the rechargeable batteries last longer on a fixed lens camera than one that relies on a little motor to pop the lens in and out. If you are vacationing and aren't in the habit of carrying extra batteries with you, a camera with all the "golly-gee" moving parts might become an aggravation when it suddenly runs out of power. Sony has made sure that all of their cameras have a nice array of features including: sepia tone/negative/greyscale photo options; a simple, easy to use video option that runs as long as your memory will hold out; easy deletion of unwanted images; AA battery powering; variable flash; autofocus; and fairly solid construction. The P52 serves well as a general purpose camera, and if you are shopping for your first digital camera, this model deserves serious consideration. You will master all the features in less than 10 minutes and have a lot of fun with it. The major drawback I see to this camera is its average telephoto magnification (3X). It's fine for parties and vacations, but might not render the desired results if you're in the back row at a wedding. If you fancy portraits or wildlife photos, DEFINITEY consider spending a little more for a DSC-H2 or better. I have one of those and it's awesome! Also, I think the SONY brand is well priced and there is a good pricepoint for almost any shopper. Because the DSC-P52 is an older model, there are some good deals on the few that are out there. If you can get one for under $100, you won't be disappointed.Read full review

Basic camera - very sturdy - takes terrific pics
OK - this camera is a couple years old now, which seems ancient by digital camera standards, but it's still going strong and takes excellent pictures, despite being dropped plenty. I'm a shutterfly dad and take tons of family photos and this thing is just a great warrior. Shutter delay is respectable for a camera of this class, pictures are great, battery life is good, and the design is terrific. It's also fun to be able to display images on the TV with the video out cable What you need to get the most out of this camera: buy an extra battery and a couple 128 mbyte memory sticks - they're both cheap on eBay. Don't bother with the Sony proprietary stuff - Lexar is fine for memory sticks and an aftermarket battery is fine,too. What's not so great: not much for this price range, but the shutter delay and start-up time can sometimes be a little slow when you're trying to get a pic of your toddler. Comparing to other models: I had the Canon s-50 and lost it. I preferred the Canon in that it did 4 mp images and the zoom was a bit better, but this is a good bet and should be available on eBay for a deal.Read full review

Great lil Cam !
I have been using this camera for about 6 years and I love it. Sure the technology is a little dated now, but it still works great. In my experience there appears to be only two problems with these cams. Either have a lens error or the display gets buggered up. I recommend getting a screen protector and not dropping it to save the display. The lens error just seems to happen. If you find a a P 52 in working order for $50 or less pick up a spare. When one breaks just sell it for parts. You can get $10 - 15 for a busted one, simple. Keep a good set or two of rechargable Nimh AA batteries around and go have fun with this simple cam.

Sony Cyber-Shot
The reason why I bought this camera is because the one I was using before did not work properly when it came to using the flash. I would take a picture with the flash on and it would come up blurry, so to avoid this I would have to take the picture without the flash, input the memory card into my computer and adjust the brightness just so that the picture will come out right. But even doing this it did not look perfect. I honestly love this camera the pictures come out really good when using the flash or not. It adjust automatically. The video comes out really nice and the audio is just as great. I also did some research on this camera you can by product that can easily be attached to help you make your picture come out even better. There are a few scratches on this camera, but it does not matter to me, just as long as the pictures come out perfect. Also the memory card does not hold a lot of pictures, but I can always by another one.Read full review

The fun, easy-to-use Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P52 digital camera packs in more..
The fun, easy-to-use Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P52 digital camera packs in more pixels and more features than its predecessor. With its 3.2-megapixel resolution, the Cyber-shot DSC-P52 produces stunning images in a diverse range of conditions. The Cyber-shot DSC-P52 adds a 2x optical zoom (the DSC-P32 only offers digital zoom), helping you bring distant subjects closer. It's also one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with Memory Stick Pro. Optics and Resolution The 3.2-megapixel resolution creates images large enough to print 11-by-17-inch enlargements. The 14-bit DXP system plus Super HAD CCD combine to produce excellent image detail and stunningly smooth contrast and color rendition. The Cyber-shot DSC-P52 offers a 2x optical zoom and 3.2x digital zoom for a 6.4x total. Storage and Transfer Images are stored on Memory Sticks, and a 16 MB Memory Stick is included. The Cyber-shot DSC-P52 is also one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with optional Memory Stick Pro media, which can extends data capacity up to 1 GB. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. Movie Mode You can capture far more than still images with the MPEG Movie VX function. Most digital cameras' movie modes are limited to 30- or 60-second clips, but the Cyber-shot DSC-P52 can keep shooting until you've filled the memory card. When used with Memory Stick Pro media you can shoot approximately 22 minutes of video. More Features 1.6-inch LCD monitor and true-zoom optical viewfinder for more accurate framing at eye level The three-area multipoint autofocus can intelligently focus on the subject and avoids mistakenly focusing on the background A multi-burst mode captures 16 images (320 x 240) as part of a single 1,280 x 960 image and plays them back sequentially in the camera The Multi-Pattern Measuring feature establishes a maximum exposure value, independently light metering 49 points of the frame, even where pronounced highlight and shadow are not centered Five scene modes: twilight, twilight portrait, landscape, snow, and beach Built-in flash with red-eye reduction, auto, forced on, forced off, and slow-syncro modes Power, Size, and Contents The camera is powered by the NH-AA-DA rechargeable NiMH battery (included). It measures 4.7 by 2.3 by 1.3 inches and weighs 7.9 ounces. This package includes the Cyber-shot DSC-P52 digital camera, 16 MB Memory Stick, battery and battery charger (BC-CS2), USB and AV cables, wrist strap, and CD-ROM with imaging software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac. Product Description Sony's DSC-P52 Cyber-shot digital still camera proves that price is irrelevant where Sony quality is concerned.
