Digital Camera Review

The P-series of Sony digital cameras turns five this year. To celebrate, they’re putting out an upgrade to last year’s Cyber-shot P150. The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200 boasts 7.2 megapixels in a compact point-and-shoot form. The digital camera sticks with the classic P-series frame: a rectangle with a rounded left side. The P200 will be available in Europe and the United States in February 2005 for $399. The price is a welcome downgrade from the P150’s retail price of $499. The two cameras are strikingly similar. They have the same 7.2 megapixels, 3x optical zoom lens and the same menus and options. The only difference is that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200 has a larger 2-inch LCD and a wide groove along the top to provide a left finger grip and added shooting support.
