I recently bought a Sony DSC-P93A to supplement my Sony DSC-F707. I was just looking for a more compact camera to take "average" pictures and saw this one on sale (a returned item) for $210 -- a new one was listed at $300. When I read the specs I reallized that it would outperform the F707 in every way except image sharpness (smaller lens). It has a full auto mode for when you just want to point and shoot, but also has a few others when you're ready to advance a bit beyond that. Like the P73 it uses AA batteries, and I already had chargers for the NiMh.
Basic specs: 5.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, "smart" digital zoom, f/2.8 at wide angle (38mm equivalent), 30 seconds to 1/1000 sec., ISO 100 - 400. One of its strengths is how fast it takes shots.
I took a few shots on my flight to DEN from EUG and of the DOW vehicles outside the Holiday Inn at the Storm Chasers Conference (just 1 megapixel) and they look nice. Haven't printed any yet, though.
