Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P32
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P32 by simary taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Size
Disadvantages Not a very good zoom

...Great little camera to take basic shots. Resoluiton is good enough for most shots and sticks can hold loads if you put resolution low. Easy to use manual has lots of pictures to help yo know what is going on with the camera. Easy software for managing photos on computer. Lots of features and ability to change pictures. Video clips take lots of space of memory but good quality of sound and video. Zoom is not brilliant but does the job - could upgrade to better camera for better zoom. Memory sticks are available relatively cheaply for the camera if you go for generic labels. All in all I am pretty happy with the camera and would buy another Sony one.... Read review

So Good Photos From Sony!
Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P32 by sispencer taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Compact, easy to use and great photo's
Disadvantages Need to buy extra memory to get full use of the camera

...The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P32 is an excellent little digital camera for the use from a beginner to a novice through to an expert. The camera is compact, easy to handle and easy to use. It takes very clear fantastic photo's. The camera menu's, options and instructions are clear and concise. The LCD screen is a nice size and crystal clear. One draw back of the camera is the size of the memory stick (It does not do the camera any justice!). The first thing you must do (to get all the benefits the camera is capable of) is to purchase at least a 128MB memory stick then you can really experience the camera at its best! All in all I Iove this little camera and I would recommend it to anyone!!!!... Read review

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P32 by Em_Foster taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Easy to use, durable, reliable & funky looking
Disadvantages A little on the heavy side.

...I own the Sony Cyber Shot DSC - P32. It was bought for me as a christmas present just over 2 years ago and first let me say that it has never let me down once. I am not the best person for looking after my stuff and it has been chucked around, floated around the bottom of my handbag for several weeks at a time and even had a drink spilt on it, but in spite of all this it has still kept on going. It does however have a couple of tiny scratches on it but to be fair I'm not surprised! What does it have and what does it do? Mine came as standard with a 16mb Memory stick which I have found suits me just fine, you can hold up to 40 pictures in each of the folders you can create on the camera, so far I have created 4 folders which has been more than enough. Some people may want more storage space if that is the case you can buy... Read review
