Opinions on Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 7.2mp

Nephew · 26-01-2006 01:44AM #1

I'm thinking of getting a CyberShot DSC-P200 7.2mp. I would appreciate any opinions on it. It seems to have some good reviews on amazon but I dont want to base a purchase just on them. I saw it for e400 in the sony centre, its much cheaper on amazon at e305. Are there any decent 6 - 8mp alternatives around the e300 mark that I should look at. I already have a gig memory stick pro so I'd be more inclined to go for a camera that uses those which is why I am swaying towards sony.

Thanks

guys thanks for the links.

after browsing cnet, i'm considering one of the following

Pentax Optio S6

or

Olympus Mju 800
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009NDLW2/o/qid=1138397164/sr=2-1/ref=sr_bt_1/202-8805289-0487066

but i was thinking if i go for one of these i'd have to spend an extra e80 on a decent memory card. i already have a memory duo that fits sony cameras so i might split the difference on what i would have spent on a memory card if i had bought one of the above and put it towards a slightly better sony camera.

Hmm, have you considered the T7?
you can purchase that off internet stores for around 350.
Although it uses a ms duo not the normal ms.
My mate had one and he was very happy with it until he got drunk and misplaced it...:(
