Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150 Review

Announced in July 2004, The DSC-P150 is Sony's latest salvo in the megapixel wars, and the first truly compact 7 megapixel camera. It's based closely on the current DSC-P100, with the only differences - resolution aside - being the brushed metal casing. With 7 million pixels and a 3x Carl Zeiss lens squeezed into a body around 1" thick, the P150 is sure to appeal to those who want to pack a lot of power into their pocket.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150

Available in blue, silver or black, Sony's DSC-P150 sports a 7-megapixel sensor and Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens. Both multi-pattern and spot metering are supported, but exposure adjustments can only be made in the P and scene modes. However, only two aperture settings are provided; f2.8 and f5.6 at the wide position, and f5.2 and f10 for tele. Flash output levels are adjustable in P, M and scene modes and exposure compensation of +/- 2 EV in 0.3 EV steps is provided.
