General Comments

The Sony DSC-P1 is a fun digital camera to use, it takes good quality pictures. The 3.3 megapixel size allows for quality printouts up to 8" x 10". You can see some of the results on the following web page: http://home.satx.rr.com/rjbaker/opr0006i.html. This was a page I set up for just my family, but it has some good examples of the pictures this camera can take.

You can see that in some of the photos, the background light overpowers the foreground subject (My brother Rob).

The small size is good because it allows the camera to be carried conviently, as well as making it easy to use with one hand. But the problems are that it is difficult to hold it steady - when clicking the shutter, the camera tends to wobble.

I thought the camera was bad at taking low-light pictures, until I read the instructions and learned about the "Program AE" function. The camera can take decent photos in low light, but the wobble effect becomes more of a problem, because the camera increases the exposure time.

It would have been nice if Sony included a larger memory stick - 8 megabytes just isn't enough. A carrying case would have been appreciated.

Overall, I'd recommend this camera, especially since the price has dropped since I bought it. (I paid $700 in June 2001)
