The Sony Cybershot DSC-U30 digital camera is small and light enough to slip in your pocket for snapping photos wherever you roam. It features a 2-megapixel resolution, fast start-up to capture shots almost instantaneously, and a movie mode. It comes in two other colors: blue and dark gray. The Cybershot U30 has a fast start-up time of 0.9 seconds, enabling you to capture those important shots that other cameras might miss. The camera includes 5 scene modes (soft snap, illumination snap, twilight, active outdoor, and vivid nature) and pre-flash metering, which illuminates the subject and calculates exposure through the lens directly from the CCD for accurate calculation for a flash-lit shot. 

Blending an amazing array of features for a budget digital camera, the Sony DSCP41 is a perfect point-and-shoot camera for spontaneous moments you'll treasure forever. The DSCP41 offers a 4-megapixel resolution to capture even the tiniest detail, 3x digital zoom, 4-shot burst mode, and a high-resolution movie mode that's limited only by your Memory Stick's capacity. For a step up in price, the Sony DSCP73 offers a 3x optical zoom, A/V connection to view images on your TV, and a histogram display. Setup was a bit confusing at first. Let me explain. If your computer is running Windows XP and you want to use the Microsoft Scanner & Camera Wizard (which I highly recommend) to copy and transfer images/videos to your hard drive, you need to first turn on the camera, turn on the LCD screen, go into setup and change the USB setting from "Normal" to "PTP". Otherwise the Scanner & Camera Wizard will not launch when the camera is plugged in. At least it didn't on my computer. The instruction manual from Sony does not mention this. If you're using XP, you don't need to install the Sony driver or "Picture Package" program included with the CD-ROM.

Sony updates the rangefinder-style camera for the digital age with the 5-megapixel Cyber-shot DSCW1. Built for photographers who want to capture images through a host of automatic features to help balance light and exposure, the DSCW1 also offers a bevy of manual controls. And once turned on, it focuses and shoots full-resolution images in a little over one-second intervals. The DSCW1 features a 3x optical zoom, Carl Zeiss optics, large 2.5-inch LCD I love this camera. I heavily researched my next camera, having used several over the last 5 years and most recently the Fuji FinePix 40i. It came down to the Canon s500 and the W1. After using both I bought the W1. The s500 had only one selling point that the W1 didnt (panoramic on the camera), but the W1 had several the the s500 didnt. As a bonus it also takes regular 1.5v AA alkaline batteries!!! I have not looked back since purchasing this camera, and I recommend it to all my friends.

With its small size and quick reaction time, the Sony DSCP93 digital camera will be your constant photographic companion. You'll pick up amazing detail with its 5.1-megapixel CCD--and produce poster-sized prints. The affordable, 5-megapixel DSCP93 offers point-and-shoot simplicity with a variety of features normally found in higher-end models. It features a 3x optical zoom, 9-shot burst mode, high-resolution 1.5-inch LCD screen for reviewing shots, A/V connection to view images on your TV, and a high-resolution movie mode that's limited only by your Memory Stick's capacity. For a step up in price, check out the Sony DSCP100 brings a high-quality Carl Zeiss lens, compatibility with Sony's Cybershot Station, and even more compact size to the table. This camera has all the features I've wanted in a digital camera and is easy to learn. There was only one disappointment. I was hoping to be able to place the memory stick into my Sony PDA and view the pictures there but alas it turns out not the case. My Palm JPG viewer was not able to access the photos on the MS. You'd think Sony products would have some compatibility here. I do recommend you get a larger memory stick. 

Sony's stylish, pocket-size Cybershot DSCP100 digital camera offers an amazing 5-megapixel resolution and a wealth of photographic features normally found on full-size, high-end cameras. About 1 inch thin and weighing less than 6 ounces, it's easy to carry wherever you may roam. The DSCP100 also features a 3x optical zoom, Carl Zeiss optics, nine-shot burst mode, and a high-resolution movie mode that's limited only by your Memory Stick's capacity. I am impressed with the overall performance and image quality of the P100. It really has a very fast start up time as well as a very short shutter lag (0.3-0.5s )also as mentioned at imaging-resource.com. It rivals some of the D-SLR's on these parameters! It has a Carl-Zeiss lens that provides excellent quality iamges. The colors and saturation of images are well balanced, I do not feel to play around with imaging software to make them look better. In addition, it is light and thin, can be carried around w/out much hassle. It has a great macro. Finally, the battery goes and goes and goes without dying out... Overall I am very satisfied with P100 and would definitely recommend it as a full features high-quality P&S camera. 

With its small size and quick reaction time, the Sony DSCP73 digital camera will be your constant photographic companion. The affordable DSCP73 offers point-and-shoot simplicity with a variety of features normally found in higher-end models. This 4-megapixel camera features a 3x optical zoom, 4-shot burst mode, conversion lens compatibility, A/V connection to view images on your TV, and a high-resolution movie mode that's limited only by your Memory Stick's capacity. For a step up in price, the Sony DSCP93 adds a 5-megapixel CCD, higher resolution LCD screen, and 9-shot burst mode. Well the camera is cool for such a price, real bargain ;) But i do have one question and i was not able to find the answer in the instructions book. Well, after taking a picture when i want to enlarge my picture with the Playback Zoom, i'm able to zoom it but i can't save the zoom! Why? I don't know what's wrong, the book doesnt say anything about it and the menu button doesnt' work when i try to zoom the picture.

The high-end camera that fits in the back of your pocket. Sony's DSC-T1 features a huge 5.1 Megapixel resolution, 3X Optical Zoom, and a 2.5" Hybrid LCD Monitor, all in a package the size of a credit card. The T1 even packs extra features you would normally expect on a camera twice its size, such as a high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens, Sony's high-speed Real Image Processor, 5 Area Multi-Point Focus. It is even able to capture full screen VGA (640x 480) video at an astounding 30 frames per second. It's twice the camera at half the size. We love this camera. It's small size, ease of use... the only problem is the Memory Stick Duo. We bought a 256 mb stick and every so often (and more than we'd like for sure) the memory stick kicks back an error message and we can't take pictures anymore. We have to power down then power up again to take another picture. This has been happening more and more and we've only had the camera less than 2 months. We've tried reformatting the stick several times to no avail. Not sure what to do next. But the problem with the memory aside, it's a fantastic camera. Just hope there's a way around this problem.

If you thought you could only get true-to-life resolution, definitive control and stunning output from an SLR camera, check out Sony's new DSC-V1 Cyber-shot, a digital still camera that combines the control you prefer with extraordinary performance and a uniquely-compact design. The Sony is a better at action shots and in low light, its controls are easier to understand and it takes better movies. But the Sony is a little bigger and takes only one memory stick. (With a 256 memory stick, the battery becomes the limiting factor. I have not run out of memory or battery in either camera. You do need to learn to pace your use. It helps to bring on vacation a laptop with a memory stick slot. During a vacation it would not be a bad idea to archive the downloaded photos to the web or to a CD or DVD. I had to reformat a hard drive after a recent vacation with my laptop.) The Sony battery does not seem to last as long as the Konica, but that is purely subjective. I like the Sony much better.
