Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P10

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P10 is an entry-level, compact digital camera featuring a Carl-Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with a 3x optical zoom, and a 5MP CCD sensor. The unit can capture still images up to a 2592x1944 resolution, as well as VGA audio/video clips @16fps in the MPEG Movie VX Mode format.

Unfortunately the unit is restricted to just an included 32MB Memory Stick, a 3-point Auto Focus, and a small 1.5” LCD display that does not offer any touchscreen functionality. Critics hail the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P10 however for being useful per its price, not to mention its functionalities: 2fps GIF creation via 10 still images; a 14-bit Digital Extended Processor that enhances basic constrast and detail; and a live histogram display that allows the user to view the number of pixels at each luminosity.
