    Good Points: Good to use and until something goes wrong I don't think that you can beat them.


    Bad Points: In my opinion, customer care at Sony appears to major on the notion of getting your money and then not caring.


    General comments: There is a theme running through all the customer dissatisfaction notes. I will not be buying any more Sony products until there is an obvious change in attitude. The 'exposure to moisture' response seems to be particularly popular.

    I am very disappointed with treatment by Sony in connection with a camera not working and returned to them. Bought by me in Australia for Christmas present (end November 2006) and reported and returned for repair early December (about 7 days out of their warranty although still covered by The Sale of Goods Act). I have not seen the camera since but am assured it has not been misused/wet but they insist that it has water damage - want to charge me £30 to return it to throw away. I have boug ...

    I've owned the Sony CyberShot DSC-P72 digital camera for well over a year now, and I've been nothing but happy with it.

    The functions and options are easy to use in the well displayed menu options on the camera. The quality of picture is fantastic. Even the "motion picture" option gives a clear picture with good recorded sound.

    I highly recommend purchasing an additional memory stick, as the camera only comes with a 16MB stick included. This is not much space at all, especially if you ...

    I've had the Sony CyberShot DSC-P72 digital camera for well over 2 years. I use it regularly, and it's never failed to take a good picture.

    As a less experienced photo enthusiast, I find using the Sony Cybershot DSC-P72 digital camera a great experience. After shooting a few photos, in the playback mode, you can have a look at the settings at which the picture was taken, and build up your own experience at selecting the settings. Of course, the automatic settings are great, but at some point in time you will have to stand on your own two feet. Shutter lag is fine, though it starts to increase with flash (and not just the shutter lag ...

    The Sony CyberShot DSC-P72 camera itself is OK, fairly average, but after a few months the lens motor will break and Sony WILL NOT fix it. They want to charge $140 to fix something that is defective in their camera.

    I received the Sony Cybershot as a birthday present. It is my first digital camera. All I can say is that it is brill for someone with little or no knowledge of photography. It is easy to use(after digesting the info manual) and produces excellent quality reproductions on photo card and is excelent to transfer to cd. The only drawback I have found is that for older users or users that wear glassses the on screen menus are tiny and difficult to read especially in poorly lit areas. Get round this ...

    The Sony DSC-P72 is my second camera, I purchased it off Amazon for a bargain 130 quid. The picture quality is pin sharp, I'm a keen amateur photographer and own a good 35mm SLR Camera and the photo quality is as good if not better up to A4 size this camera is quality the lens is superb this is better than a 4m pixel one I purchased and took back. It's all about a quality lens and Sony deliver this in this camera.

    A few weeks after purchase a Sony digital camera DSC-P72 (from a reputable store) it stopped working. Sony service centre refused to fix it (actually it offered a repair for three times its original price!) saying the camera had water damage. They blamed me! Though I always handled it with great care. Someone at the Visa claims centre said she heard similar stories about Sony products. It's a pattern. I'd be wary about buy anything from Sony!!!

    This Sony DSC-P72 is my second digital camera, my first one being the Fuji A303. This one is far better in terms of features and battery life. The picture is excellent and it takes pics pretty fast. The video mode is brill too, with good sound and playback through the TV. Can't really fault this camera apart from its size, its fairly bulky, but it does feel solid and sturdy which i like. Overall i'm very impressed.

    The Sony DSC-P72 is a very nice digital camera for people who just wanna have something they can trust on. It is a small and simple camera with many capabilities for just amateur photographers. It easily connects to your computer and you can do anything. Copy the pictures, delete them, copy something (even MP3 files or non-picture files) on your camera and move them to somewhere else & ... It has a built-in flash, 3x optical zoom, and so many other things.
    It can use any AA batteries and it has ...
