Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P71

*When reading the reviews about this product please bear in mind that the others were written at least 6 years ago, so what was said about the camera then may not be as relevant now* *I have also put this review on ciao* The sony cyber-shot DSC-P71 is getting on in years and while it may have been an excellent digital camera in its day, it is now past its best. Negatives: The camera is only 3.2 mega pixels - this is very low compared to modern cameras but is still adequate for regular size prints eg. 6x4 and 7x5. Unfortunately the camera takes 2 AA batteries - while these are cheap and easy to obtain, they don't last very long ...  Read the complete review

I don't know what's happening.... Recently, many of my purchases have been Sony devices. It started with the Playstation, then the TV, a Sony radio seperate followed soon after. Then, the inevitable happened. They released the PS2. That was soon followed by a Clie 770C and now, a P71 camera. To be honest, I think part of my buying decision must have been psycological.

It is not the lightest camera in this range, but it feels substantial without being cumbersome. My first surprise however was the ease of installation of the USB software on my WinXP home edition based laptop. It worked 1st ...  Read the complete review

I don't know how i managed without this fantastic camera, with a self timer and various colour options and photo sizes that are easy to use, taking photos has been made a pleasure. I use to run from the camera but now i know that if i dont like it i can delete it and do it again! I would recommend this camera to all people, for beginners, for those with poor eyesight, for young people and for those who are even a little technologically minded like me. Its not too simple, but its not difficult - the camera is what you make of it and every photo will be of great quality. Only things that may bother those who are going to be replacing a camera is that ...  Read the complete review
