Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P93

Viewfinder (4.0)
The Viewfinder on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93 is an optical real image viewfinder, small enough to make its functionality infinitely frustrating, and forcing the user to primarily use the LCD screen for image capturing. The viewfinder, like most on digital cameras in the consumer realm is ludicrous in both placement and size, my eyelashes immediately obstructing any chance I could possibly have of actually using it. When paired with my tendency to rub my nose sweat on the LCD directly beneath, it made me reconsider ever choosing it as a viewing option.

LCD Screen (6.0)
The LCD screen for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93 is a 1.5-inch TFT screen, with 560 x 240 pixels of resolution. While this is sufficient for a point-and-shoot LCD monitor, it is not on par with many other Cyber-shot cameras, many of which are similar in mass and volume to the DSC-P93 but contain up to 2.5" LCD displays.

Flash (6.5)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93 comes equipped with a built-in flash, with preset options available when the camera is placed within the camera mode. Once in camera mode, the user can press the up arrow on the four-way controller (which doubles as the flash select button) until the proper preset is highlighted on the LCD screen. Choices are Auto Flash, Forced Flash, Slow Synchro, and No Flash.

Zoom Lens (6.5)
The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P93 is equipped with a 3x optical zoom lens, with capabilities of 2x digital zoom, although it should be recognized that engaging the digital zoom will result in a compromised image quality overall.
