When Sony made this camera, they were thinking of people like you and me, who were looking for a good camera, with a good resolution, enough features, and of course, not to spend too much.
The camera ’s 4.1 mp resolution allows you to get perfectly detailed 8″ x 5.33″ prints, if you want them.
Other features, like manual exposure, and scene modes, allow you to get more pro, so this isn’t a simple point and shoot camera if you want to do some tweaks to yor photos. The P73 helps you to take pictures like a professional without having to be one.
The P73 takes about 1 second to power up, and for continuous shooting, you only have to wait about 1 second between pictures.

PROS
- Low price / Great features
- Easy to use
- Good battery life
- Optical Zoom
- 6 Scene modes
- 3 Additional modes: Manual / Program / Auto (point + shoot)

CONS
- LCD fonts are tiny and hard to read
- Smart zoom only works at low resolutions (1mp – 3mp)
- Included 16MB MemoryStick is not enough (only 8 pix @ 4.1mp)
- Included “Picture Package” doesn’t have any edit capabilities
- Picture Package Software crashes sometimes causing damaged JPGS

Sony should give away larger MemorySticks with their cameras, but I guess that’s their strategy… if you buy a camera, you will need another MS.
If you buy the CyberShot DSC-P73 consider buying at least one 128MB MemoryStick (holds 64 pix @ 4.1MP) but I’d reccomend a 512MB that holds about 242 photos @4.1MP, so you can go on vacation and take enough great pictures without having to worry for the MS capacity.
A spare set of batteries and a carrying case would be a great companion as well.
