Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P41 Digital Camera Reviewby James MurrayPublished on October 26, 2004
Viewfinder (3.5) LCD Screen (5.5) Flash (7.5) The major drawback with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P41 is the lack of any optical zoom option, forcing the user to instead rely on a fixed focal length image if full quality is essential. There is a 3x digital zoom included on the camera; however, the user will have to sacrifice quality each time a closer viewing perspective is desired. Many other camera models within the same price range, MP range, and size range all come equipped with optical zoom as well as digital zoom, providing the user an opportunity to zoom in on a scene without sacrificing the image quality. As you may or may not be aware of, digital zoom is a means of enlarging the pixels compositing the image and thus blowing up the view. Each time digital zoom is engaged, there is severe degradation of quality and the image becomes more distorted. This is a MAJOR drawback to the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P41 and for this reason alone, I would suggest at least looking into other models. While the DSC-P41 will grant the user clear imagery, it will have to be at a fixed focal length because once the zoom is utilized, the camera's excellent quality is severely diminished.
