from Best Buy Summary: I dig this little camera. At first I had to get used to it. My other camera is a DSC-F828 so I had to get un-used to what I was used to in a camera. I actually bought this for my wife as an anniversary gift, but I'm using it more than she is now! You have to understand that it's a small camera, with no lens hood, and limited user controls, but once you know when and how to use this camera it can take some pretty good pictures. I'm especially impressed with its close up flash performance. The 828's built in flash tended to blow out close up subject. The flash exposure couldn't tone it down enough. The P200 flash range is real short, but up close it absolutely rocks. Strengths: Compact, lightweight, easy to use. Great close up performance. Very long battery life. Very fast shot to shot fora P&S. Very easy to use intuitive menus. Weaknesses: Short flash range. Limited manual controls, but what controls are there are easy to use through intuitive menus. Long focus distances like for landscapes and such can look soft or slightly out of focus. Similar Products Used: Sony DSC-F828
