| If your scratching your head about why a 5.0 megapixel camera costs so much, take a look at its dimensions again. This camera is less than an inch thick. It also has a (relatively) huge LCD screen — not many digital cameras have 2.5 inch LCD screens. If it has always been your dream to have a camera that you can stick in your pocket, you might just have found it. |

| The specifications of the DSC-P93 are very similar to the other Sony 5 megapixel cameras: the DSC-W1 and the DSC-P100. The main difference is that this camera will display a histogram when you take a photo. A histogram shows you the distribution of light and dark pixels in the image, and it a visual way of determining if a photo is properly exposed. |

| If you like the look and feel of the other Sony cameras, but want some more megapixels, then the DSC-P150 is the camera for you. It's also a camera for the style-conscious, since you can get it with a variety of color finishes (silver, blue and red). |
