Key Advantages

The P200's 5.1 MP CCD sensor produces sharp and detailed images suitable for prints and digital use. The Carl Zeiss lens ensures high optical quality and color accuracy. Its compact and lightweight design enhances portability and ease of use. Offering both automatic and manual shooting modes caters to different photography skill levels. The inclusion of image stabilization improves photo clarity in low light or handheld conditions. Memory Stick compatibility provides ample storage options and ease of data management.

Limitations

The Sony Cyber-shot P200 uses a relatively small 1.8-inch LCD, which may limit image preview quality compared to modern cameras. Its 3x optical zoom is modest by contemporary standards, potentially restricting compositional flexibility. The camera has limited video recording capabilities and low resolution if available. Battery life, while sufficient for casual use, may require frequent recharging in continuous operation. Being an older model, it lacks modern connectivity options like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Additionally, sensor performance in low-light conditions is less effective than more recent cameras.
