Any tips on a Sony DSC-P200

[theostwalts]

Just bought one tonight. They were on sale at Circut City. Most of the user reviews I have read have been positive. If anyone here has one, any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Although we don't have that exact model, we do have another Sony Cyber-shot and have been very happy with it. The only thing I'm slightly unhappy with is that I really feel we are needing to upgrade to a camera with a better optical zoom - ours is also 3x.

I have the p100 which is essentially the same camera with 5.1 MPs. The main thing is to read the manual thoroughly and try everything well before your trip. I especially practiced turning flash on or off or slow sync without looking so as to be ready for whatever is needed. The video "fine" mode is quite good, not video cam good, but very nice. I got a 1 GB memory stick pro and it held 440 pictures, so I would guess you'd get around 300-350 out of one.
Here's a picture I took this May. It's been reduced in size, but is still decent.
