Product Description
Sony's DSC-P52 Cyber-shot digital still camera proves that price is irrelevant where Sony quality is concerned. Providing great value, you're getting a camera with functionality that rivals more sophisticated models. The DSC-P52 offers 3.2 megapixel effective resolution, 2x optical zoom, 0 to 3.2 Smart Zoom (at VGA size), and Sony features that make it easier than ever to take exciting digital photos with point-and-shoot ease. From 16-frame multi-burst, MPEG movie modes, and smart auto-focus functions to an intelligent flash, multi-pattern measuring and voice memo and e-mail modes. The DSC-P52 also includes a USB 2.0 interface and convenient rechargeable NiMH batteries with included charger.
Amazon.com Product Description
The fun, easy-to-use Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P52 digital camera packs in more pixels and more features than its predecessor. With its 3.2-megapixel resolution, the Cyber-shot DSC-P52 produces stunning images in a diverse range of conditions. The Cyber-shot DSC-P52 adds a 2x optical zoom (the DSC-P32 only offers digital zoom), helping you bring distant subjects closer. It's also one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with Memory Stick Pro. Step-up Value
Here's a Sony feature that adds value to this digital camera and differentiates it from other models in the Sony lineup.  | Slow Shutter Noise Reduction: This process captures the scene in two exposures. The second subtracts the noise pattern from the initial shot, resulting in a final beautiful photograph that is virtually noise-free. | Optics and Resolution
The 3.2-megapixel resolution creates images large enough to print 11-by-17-inch enlargements. The 14-bit DXP system plus Super HAD CCD combine to produce excellent image detail and stunningly smooth contrast and color rendition. The Cyber-shot DSC-P52 offers a 2x optical zoom and 3.2x digital zoom for a 6.4x total. Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on Memory Sticks, and a 16 MB Memory Stick is included. The Cyber-shot DSC-P52 is also one of the first Sony cameras to be compatible with optional Memory Stick Pro media, which can extends data capacity up to 1 GB. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. Movie Mode
You can capture far more than still images with the MPEG Movie VX function. Most digital cameras' movie modes are limited to 30- or 60-second clips, but the Cyber-shot DSC-P52 can keep shooting until you've filled the memory card. When used with Memory Stick Pro media you can shoot approximately 22 minutes of video. More Features
- 1.6-inch LCD monitor and true-zoom optical viewfinder for more accurate framing at eye level
- The three-area multipoint autofocus can intelligently focus on the subject and avoids mistakenly focusing on the background
- A multi-burst mode captures 16 images (320 x 240) as part of a single 1,280 x 960 image and plays them back sequentially in the camera
- The Multi-Pattern Measuring feature establishes a maximum exposure value, independently light metering 49 points of the frame, even where pronounced highlight and shadow are not centered
- Five scene modes: twilight, twilight portrait, landscape, snow, and beach
- Built-in flash with red-eye reduction, auto, forced on, forced off, and slow-syncro modes
Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by the NH-AA-DA rechargeable NiMH battery (included). It measures 4.7 by 2.3 by 1.3 inches and weighs 7.9 ounces. This package includes the Cyber-shot DSC-P52 digital camera, 16 MB Memory Stick, battery and battery charger (BC-CS2), USB and AV cables, wrist strap, and CD-ROM with imaging software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

 AWESOME CAMERA-A TRUE WORKHORSE. January 22, 2007
L. dunn
EASILY ONE OF THE BEST 3.2 MP EVER PRODUCED-NOT MUCH CAN GO WRONG WITH THESE CAMERAS UNLIKE THE NEWER MODELS, WHERE ONECE DROPPED THEY DON'T FUNCTION ANYMORE. I TOOK THIS AND A NEWER SONY 6.00 MP WITH ME TO EURPOE LAST YEAR, "GUESS WHAT?" THE 6.00 MP BROKEDOWN, SO I USED THE OLD DSC-P52 AS BACKUP. THE PICS I CAME BACK WITH ARE EASILY AS GOOD AS THE NEWER MODEL TOOK, BEFORE IT BROKE DOWN. A TRUE WORKHORSE.
 Great starter camera! November 15, 2006

I got this camera back in 2001 and, for the 4 years that I used it, I was very pleased.
Pros:
*It performed well in low-light and high-light situations.
*It takes fairly decent pictures, better than one would expect from a 3.2mp camera
Cons:
*There are times when the shutter lags, which caused me to lose the shots I wanted to capture on quite a few occasions.
*It has a tendency to produce very sharp images at times
*The lack of a rechargable battery can make frequent use of this camera expensive. Especially since, on high-end digital camera double A batteries, the average battery life was approximately 50 pictures.
Overall: Great camera for someone new to digital photography and looking to gain some experience with it.
I LOVED this camera July 16, 2006

This camera takes really fantastic pictures....if you just look in the pictures that people have taken with it you'll see a few of mine. They always turn out really well, I like all the features it has too. The only thing I wish is that it would've had at least 3x optical zoom. Other than that I don't have any complaints. This has been a great camera for me & I think most people would like it!

It depends what one is used to, I suppose. Myself, I am no kind of expert in either cameras or photography, and not even much of an enthusiast. I got this camera in a fit of exasperation at a series of mishaps with my 35mm effort, and I can only say that as an unadventurous amateur I have been absolutely delighted with it and I don't grudge one penny of what I paid for it.
I chose it at random, and the only comparisons I'm able to make with other digital cameras are with those I've seen my friends use. This one is certainly on the big side - it doesn't fit comfortably into a coat pocket, for instance, but it can still be carried there. When taking photos there has occasionally been more restriction than I might have liked as regards width, but that could well be because I have not troubled to find out all the options it gives me. In fact I have left everything at the default settings, as I have seen no reason to change these. Now and again the occasional photo comes out a little darker than I wanted, but that is easily edited with good p/c software - I use PSP8. Otherwise I have to record complete customer satisfaction. Battery life is excellent (I prefer to use disposables), and the camera switches itself off after a short idle period. The memory stick no longer has to be a proprietary Sony one, as it seems that this technology has been standardised. Above all, the photographs have pleased not just me but everyone else with an interest in them, and that I can assure you is not because I am any great photographer. Others who have used the camera include complete strangers and very un-technical friends. Their photos have turned out as well as my own have, and no elaborate instructions have been needed for anyone. No special software is required if you have a Sony p/c, and the delayed-action when used with the Sony tripod works a dream too.
Obviously more ambitious users than I am will set more exacting standards. For a humble amateur like myself who wants only simplicity, reliability and good-quality output this little machine leaves little or nothing to be desired. There must be plenty like me.
