 Gift CameraJan 08, 2010
I received this camera about 4 years ago as a gift. It is my first digital camera. My only complaint is that 'action shots' are usually blurry. The best shots are stills where I take my time and frame them properly. Shots on the go don't come out that well. The quality of the still pictures is very good. It is also very easy to set up the timer and has one-button last-picture recall.
It is very portable and fits easily in my jeans pocket or purse.
If I upgraded, I would get a further-reaching zoom and one that freezes the action better. I would still look at Sony first.

I lost my camera and purchased this as a replacement because I still have the waterproof housing and other accessories for diving. It is perfect and takes great underwater pictures and short videos. Thank you for the free shipping upgrade and prompt response to my questions. Love this camera!!
Great camera!!!Oct 04, 2007
I've had this camera for over 2 years now and it still takes beautiful pictures! Easy to use and very durable, I dropped it a couple of times and NOTHING happened. I highly recommend this product.

 I regret I bought this.Jan 10, 2007
For quite sometime lured by media publicity I thought Sony a good brand. But this was not at all true for digital cameras. I bought this P73 for myself and an HP 4 MP camera for my cousin much cheaper than Sony. Both 3x Optical zoom. The HP one was far better in image quality. Main problem is that photo quality is not so good. It lacks sharpness and in most of the natural occassions becomes a bit hazy. This fact becomes annoying because your friend who has a Cannon or an HP camera will take sharper pictures better than you in any light conditions. Also, in the same price you might look for something higher than 3x optical zoom, say 5x or so in other brands. Also during video, every option of adjusting to light conditions etc will be shut off, another irritating fact.
Not recommended.

 Go with a Kodak....Dec 09, 2006
I had a Kodak camera for years that I absolutely loved. We took it ice skating and ended up falling on it. Therefore, my family bought me this Sony for my b-day and I have to say this is the worst camera I have ever owned. If you have any movement (such as action shots or small children) the picture always comes out blurry. What a pain! Also, the picture quality is horrible. I will not purchase a sony again and am going back to a Kodak.
