Professional Reviews of the Sony DSC-P72

  • 3.8 out of 5
Delivers both quick shooting and vivid snapshots (CNET - 1/22/04)

Quick shot-to-shot time, long movies, and ease-of-use make the Sony CyberShot DSC-P72 a good camera for taking quick snapshots. The camera's poor low-light performance lowers its score, however. read original review

  • 4.8 out of 5
Images are excellent (Steve's Digicams - 7/10/03)

There are very few complaints in this review of the Sony DSC-P72 -- the camera's AA batteries, non-glare LCD, autofocus illuminator, and small size make it a great point & shoot camera. read original review

  • 4.7 out of 5
Absolutely worth a look. (DC Resource - 7/10/03)

Good images, an excellent movie mode, and quick shot-to-shot time earn the Sony DSC-P72 an endorsement as a very good point & shoot camera. read original review

  • 3.95 out of 5
Easy to use for casual photography (PC World - 7/10/03)

Slower to focus (particularly in low-light) than other cameras, the Sony CyberShot DSC-P72 is not the best choice for someone looking for quick performance. Otherwise this review is quite positive, noting the camera's good ergonomics, simple controls, and affordable price. read original review
