Digital Camera Review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93 is billed as a point-and-shoot camera by Sony. Its basic menu structure is easy to navigate, with plenty of manual control options to allow the user to comfortably move between automatic and manual control settings without concern. Its sleek rounded design complements the 1.5-inch LCD screen and 5.1 MP CCD. It is capable of capturing still images in several formats, along with video/audio clips. It is equipped with a 3x optical zoom, direct print options, image presets, and burst mode shooting possibilities. This seems to be a strong candidate in its US $329.95 price range.

Picture Quality / Size Options (6.0)
Picture Quality settings allow for more or less memory to be used while also either enhancing or impairing overall image quality. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93 has two settings available, Fine and Standard. There are three image size settings available with this camera model; 5M, which is 2592 x 1944 pixels, 4M, 2304 x 1944 pixels, and VGA, 640 x 480 pixel format. This is a pretty standard setup comparatively and should not impair the user in any way.

Picture Effects Mode (6.5)
Picture Effect settings can be controlled via the onscreen LCD menu by using the left or right arrows of the four-way controller until P. Effect is highlighted. The number of effects available is slightly limited, being reserved to just two settings, Sepia and Black and White. Some digital cameras offer multiple color settings to allow for a little more control, but P93 users will have to rely on software to play with their images.
