Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 Details

Editors' Comments

The Sony DSC-P200 has received near-universal acclaim and is a remarkably strong ultracompact camera. It packs 7 megapixels of resolution into an ultra compact body that slips easily into a pocket. Those looking for differences from the Sony P150 will immediately notice the large 2" LCD screen on the back, which makes framing and reviewing pictures easier than before. Sony also claims that the CyberShot P200 has better battery life than its predecessor, noting that it can shoot up to 370 images on a single charge of its InfoLithium battery.

Unfortunately, it appears that Sony will not be keeping the P200 alive for much longer. We at DCHQ have put together a number of comparable products, found just above, that come close to the P200 in features, specifications, and overall user satisfaction. Click through to those cameras; if you were interested in what the P200 had to offer, we're sure our other selections will pique your interest as well.
