A major step up from my current 2MP cameraSaturday, April 23, 2005
My current aging Elph has reliably turned out decent pictures for years without incident. But when I saw this Sony for 3 bills, it was time to move on. Compared to my old 2MP, this unit is a revelation, with richly saturated colors and amazing detail, and much faster operation. No problems observed with connectivity to my windows box.
This is a fast-moving business, and these 150's are already being phased out by the 200's, hence the bargain price. If you can find one, though, I would jump at it.

Beyond expectationsSunday, April 03, 2005
My choice came down to Sony P150 or the Canon S70. I went with the Sony P150 for these reasons.
Pros:
-Small and compact
-Lots of add-ons (wide-angle and super telephoto lens, external flash)
-Cheaper than S70.
-Unbelievable battery life. 180+ mins on full charge.
-Excellent photo quality. Handles all shots well, but you may need to use manual controls.
-Very good flash. Three levels of flash, highest level illuminated total darkness shots very well upto 12-15 feet.
Cons:
-Limited manual controls, but mostly sufficient.
-Narrow lens compared to Canon's 28mm wide angle lens.
-Cannot save pictures in RAW mode
-Some noise in pictures taken with auto mode.
Also Recommended:
-Tripod: As with all non-DSLR cameras, low light, non-flash shots are tough. A tripod and a steady subject will do you well.
-Media card reader: USB cable does not attach well to the camera.
-Wide-angle lens: If you take indoor shots, this will get you more of the room in one shot. Very useful.

Best point-and-shoot on the market?Monday, March 21, 2005
I'm an avid photographer who was looking for a truly pocketable digital to compliment my larger, more full-featured Olympus digital. I also wanted something fast, both in terms of start-up and shot-to-shot cycle time and was unwilling to compromise on image quality. Lower down on my criteria list was a camera that had strong video capability -- high-res w/o recording time limits that many cameras (including many of the Canon digital Elphs that I was strongly considering). If your primary critera are size, speed, and image quality, you can't go wrong with this camera. Prior to purchase, I was quite worried, to be honest, about some reviews mentioning blurry photos. After 2 month's of use, however, I can only assume that those mentioning such problems either received faulty units or, more likely, don't know how to use this (or other) camera properly or are taking shots under conditions (low light and/or fast moving subject) where blur is normal. MY IMAGES HAVE BEEN SURPRISINGLY CRISP, WELL-FOCUSED, AND VIBRANT, even using the flash, and my most frequent subjects are my 3- and 1-year-old daughters (not the easiest subjects to shoot!). As for resolution, I was not looking for a 7-megapixel camera, but I must say, it comes in handy. People talked about the potential to crop down significantly to essentially increase the zoom capability. I was leary of this as I was doubtful that the focus on such detail would allow me to do this while retaining a sharply-focused subject, but I've been very surprised by the focus detail and am now quite glad I have all that the extra resolution to work with.
Is this the perfect digital camera? I don't think any camera is perfect. I'd love to have manual white balance (though I've yet to have a photo that has not had the auto setting do a wonderful job on) and other manual controls, RAW support, a more powerful flash, better burst shooting, and other high-end features. But for cameras in this class, this camera is hard to beat. If you can go with something just a little larger (but still quite small), take a look at the fairly new Olympus C-7000. For those considering the P200, read the reviews carefully as I've seen some reports that noise is more of a problem, though in general it seems like a worthwhile upgrade, especially if you can get it at a lower price. Amazon's current price on the P150 is sure easy to beat from reputable sources now with just a few quick searches. If you are looking for a backup battery (I've never needed mine - it lasts forever), check out batteries-dot-com for a much cheaper alternative. As for flash, Vivitar's DF120 far exceeds Sony's branded model for half the cost. I tried to buy the Vivitar DF200 as a more worthy slave flash but Amazon's stock was depleted and not resupplied. If flash is important to you for this or other digital camera, there are some very capable, pwerful SLAVE flashes available (can use with most/any digital camera type, no need to mount, easy to use, add much versatility to your camera).
