 Trev C's recommendation | |
Sturdy enough metal casing for a compact camera;
Excellent lens - clarity and image colour;
Great battery life;
Good range of features for a novice to intermediate photographer;
Brilliant macro function
Rectangular shape seems rather flimsy (maybe cos I have big hands);
LCD screen a bit small.
The Sony CyberShot DSC-P100 blew me away with its state of the art features all packed into this little box. It certainly packed a punch when the shots I took were displayed on the "big screen".
The colour and clarity of the images were second to none. Considering that this was a Carl Zeiss lens, I wasn't surprised at the quality of the images.
The battery life was surprisingly very good. When fully charged, you should be able to get about 200 minutes - and all it takes is a 2 hour charge to get it all pumped and ready.
I was quite taken aback at the brilliant quality of the macro function. The image subject stayed well in focus, capturing all the colours, whilst blurring the background well enough to create that macro effect.
The metal casing gives it a good sturdy feel, rather than those sub-priced compact cameras out there who feel very plasticky.
The rectangular shape could have been improved on, perhaps by sticking to the standard "square" shaped feel, but then again, that's just my opinion and nothing that actually impedes the superior performance of this little gem.
The LCD screen could have been made a bit larger (2"). The current 1.8" screen serves its purpose well, but can be occasionally strenuous on the old eyes. However it looks like SONY have incorporated the 2" LCD screen in their 7 megapixel version.
All in all, this is a brilliant camera for someone who is new to photography or even an experienced novice. If you're an amatuer or even a pro, this would be one of those cameras that you'd want as a second one to keep in your carry case. This little gem is definitely something worth adding to your list!
