   Summary: Somtimes good, most of the time bad
This is a pretty camera to look at. It is small and compact. The problem that I find with the camera is that it does not like darkness, and the flash most of the time over-powers the subject. I found that you had to really read the book and understand the features of the camera before you could take some what of a nice picture. Only 3 out of 10 pictures that I take would I consider good quality. Other than that, my 1.3 megapixel sony 3.5 floppy camera takes just as good pictures. I don't recommend this camera.

   Summary: Very washed out pixelated pictures in low light
I have tried both a DSC-P8 and DSC-P9, and have had the same problem with both cameras. I have owned a Canon S110 for a few years now, so that is my basis for comparison.

If you own a DSC-Px, you can try this test for yourself. Try taking a picture of a friend indoors with low light. Have the friend stay about 10ft away from you. When you view the picture on the computer, you'll notice that your friend's skintone is very pixelated. This does NOT happen with other digital cameras. It definitely doesn't happen w/ the Canon. I thought I had a defective camera, but not anymore as I've had this happen with two Sony DSC-Px cameras now.

Someone who has never owned a non-sony digital camera probably won't notice the problem.

I do admit that the Sony is a great looking digital camera, and it seems to be the only camera which allows for nealy unlimited full motion video. I really wish this camera didn't have the problem I just described, because it would be my ideal camera otherwise. However, the problem is bad enough for me to stick with my Canon S110.

   Summary: Great camera!!!
I have enjoyed my Sony digital and will continue to enjoy it! The only setbacks of this camara are the expensive Sony accessories but other than that it is a great digital camera for the money. If you want to save some [money] buy the Lexar memory sticks which work just fine and give you more memory for the dollar.

   Summary: Great Camera
This Camera is better than advertised, you can take great photos on ALL resolutions plus as much video as your cad holds, buying a 128MB card is a must, but the size, weigth and 4.0MP definition ake it one of the best cameras around.

   Summary: Not Good For Action Shots
There are a lot of nice things about this camera that are mentioned in the other reviews. I just want to alert you of some of the drawbacks that lead me to give it three stars.

1. The autofocus is slow and there is significant delay from when you push the button to when the photo is taken.

2. Pictures of things in motion come out blurry. For example, I took the camera to the park with my children and photos of them on the slide, swing etc. all came out blurry.

3. The battery dosen't last very long if you use the LCD display and the flash. If you buy the camera, you should get the extra battery.

4. If you are using the flash, it takes about 30 seconds for the flash to recharge between pictures.

These might seem like small things, but I've been using the camera to take pictures of my children and it seems like I miss the nice shots because the camera hasn't focused or I'm waiting for the flash to recharge or my kids look away between the time that I push the button and the picture is actually taken.
