Consider 150. Almost exactly the same as 200 but older model that you
could find for less. At a glance, the only difference between 150 and
200 is just the model number and cosmetic.

Actually, the P200 has a newer image processing chip that is faster in
all respects over the P150. The LCD is larger, and more importantly for
me, is protected by a thick cover. It is almost impossible to crack the
LCD on the P200 which is important for a pocket camera.
To the original poster: The blurry image issue with the P200 is easily
fixed by setting the camera to "M" (manual) mode, setting the aperture
to wide open, the shutter speed to 1/60-1/100 second and forcing the
flash to "On". The camera remembers these settings even when turned off
so all you have to do for a flash shot is spin the dial to "M" and fire.
One nice thing about the P200 is the flash syncs to 1/1,000 second.
This will freeze anything within the flash's range of 12'-15'. The P200
is a great little camera and, IMO, is the best pocket camera available,
especially for the price. I bought one for our son recently from Dell
for $260. For this price no other camera comes close to it for features
and image quality. |
