Editors' Comments

The 3.2-megapixel Sony CyberShot DSC-P72 is ideal for photographers in search of a simple point & shoot with a very capable video mode.

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

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

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
