I was very impressed with the P150 when we reviewed it last year, and the P200 - though by any measure a minor upgrade - builds on and adds to its appeal.

Announced in January 2005, The DSC-P200 is the direct replacement for the DSC-P150, the first ultra-compact 7 megapixel compact. The changes are minimal (a slight redesign, a new, larger screen, an additional metering mode and the addition of custom...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200

 

The DSC-P200 is a solid ultracompact camera at a very competitive price.

Stunning design. 7.2 megapixels lets you create large prints. Wonderful macro feature.

Noisy daylight shots. Some color-matching problems. Menus could be better designed.

Sony Cyber Shot DSC-P200

Decent performance; compact size; excellent battery life.

Limited manual controls; minimal feature set; image artifacts.

This compact 7-megapixel camera's performance and photos should please undemanding snapshooters looking for maximum megapixels.

Digital Cameras - Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications

 

Taken as a package, the Sony DSC-P200 is hard to beat in the subcompact point-and-shoot digital camera market. It packs a 7.2-megapixel CCD, a sharp, high-quality 3x optical zoom lens, nine preset Scene modes and a host of other creative options in to...

The Sony P200's 3x optical zoom lens has a focal range from 7.9-23.7mm, the equivalent of a 38-114mm lens on a 35mm camera. Focus ranges from 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) to infinity in normal focus mode, with a macro setting that lets you get as close...

Digital Camera Review: Sony Cyber-shot P200

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200 is the latest in Sony's "P" line of point-and-shoot cameras.

In the box, you will find the camera, documentation, a 32 MB Memory Stick, the InfoLithium battery, the A/V cable to connect to your computer or a TV, and the AC adapter to charge the battery. Ok, I have to get my gripe in here... With this camera...

Digital Camera: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200

 

Before I get into actually describing the subject of this review, Sonys new Cyber-Shot DSC-P200, I feel compelled to present a few contemplations that came to mind as I perused his magnificent little 7.2 megapixel marvel

In the field, the P200 performs well. It never gets in the way, its battery lasts a long time and the screen even tells you how many minutes you have left, and the display provides enough information (including a live histogram) without being...

Not long ago, all Sony digital cameras distinguished themselves by recording their pictures onto standard floppy disks. That was the Mavica series and you could tell they used floppy disks because their largish bodies were pretty much built around the...

While many P200 users will never venture beyond the ãautomaticä mode, the camera also has a P(rogram) mode where it controls aperture and speed and leaves the rest to you. And a M(anual) mode where you control everything. Items such as macro, flash, or...
