I waited and waited a long time before I finally bought a digital camera for my wife and I'm glad that I did. Although this not the smallest camera (Casio has several good small models), I like it for several reasons.
1. I have the larger DSC-F828 and very happy with Sony's line of cameras. The DSCP93 uses memory sticks just like the larger camera so no extra media to buy.
2. This is a 5 megapixel camera so whatever pictures I take will look good even at 8x10.
3. It's a decent size, not too large and not too small. The button placement is good. I had a camera where a function button was placed near the right thumb rest. I kept activating buttons that I did not need to.
4. It has many features like movie taking and sharpness control.
5. It has an optical viewfinder to save on battery life. I use the digital viewfinder for picture review.
6. Talking about batteries: It gets a long life out of two "AA" rechargeable batteries, which came with it. Although you do have to use an external charger for these batteries it's fine since you don't have to worry about down time while the batteries charge like you would if the batteries were charged internally.
7. The batteries are standard nickel metal hydride and relatively cheap and available anywhere, not expensive batteries designed just for this camera.
8. Very important! When you change batteries, you do not lose your settings like the date and time.
9. There is a built-in lens cover.
10. Flash is bright and recharges relatively quickly.
11. The telephoto is optical rather than digital.
Overall, I am very happy with it. I do hate Sony's 90-day labor and 1 year parts warrranty though.
