Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P2

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P2 is an entry-level, compact digital camera featuring a Carl-Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with a 3x optical zoom, and a 2MP CCD sensor. It can also capture extremely low-resolution MPEG videos at 320x240 (16fps), but it’s not restricted to 15- or 30-second clips.

Users can keep recording until their included 16MB Memory Stick (or 128MB optional) is entirely full. As for images, the DSC-P2 can capture up to a 1600x1200 resolution. According to critics, this is useful for prints no larger than 8x10”; any larger would require a higher resolution unit. Keep in mind however that there is also a 2x digital zoom for spare usage, plus a focus-assist lamp for low-light situations. Additional features include a 1.5” LCD display, a three-area multipoint autofocus, and a multi-burst function that can capture 16 320x240 frames and put them all together.
