Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100

Picture Quality / Size Options (5.0)
The DSC-P100 gives the user the option of taking standard quality or fine quality pictures. If space is not a problem for you I would always go for the fine quality image. You will be assured to get the best quality that the camera can produce. However, if you really need that extra space and you don’t think you’ll be needing large prints of your images, then the standard image quality won’t make you too disappointed. This is a pretty skimpy selection given by the Sony DSC-P100. There are many digital cameras on the market today that offer four or more quality options.

The Sony DSC-P100 offers 4 different still image sizes: 1600 x 1200 (2M), 2048 x 1536 (3M), 2592 x 1728 (3:2), 2592 x 1944 (5M). It is pretty standard to offer multiple options in this camera range, and Sony is up to par with other 5 megapixel digital cameras.

Picture Effect Modes (6.5)
The picture effect mode allows you to choose to change images to either sepia-tone or black-and-white. The Sony DSC-P100 also gives the user the option of adjusting the image's saturation, contrast, and sharpness in the menu by changing the default from zero to positive or negative values. This is a simple way to make your pictures a little different without having to know that much about photography. Most professional users will likely want to do these types of effects in an image editing program.
