The Sony DSC-P150 is the most recent in Sony's highly popular line of subcompact "P-series" digicams, this latest model sporting a massive 7.2 megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom lens, and an expanded range of nine preset Scene modes to choose from. Pretty much identical to the DSC-P100 in all aspects except sensor resolution, the main attraction of the P150 will be its higher resolution, which comes with surprisingly little increase in image noise. The 3x zoom lens (with Macro mode) is great for recording a wide range of subjects, from close-up portraits to scenic vistas. Relative to last year's DSC-P10 (a very functional camera with excellent image quality in its own right), the DSC-P150 has been improved with greater speed and a few more features, all packed into an even thinner and lighter package. Sony has included their new Real Imaging Processor to speed up everything from autofocus operation to the saving of images to the memory cards. Like the P100, the P150 has a Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens, for better image sharpness and contrast from corner to corner. Finally, something we're just now beginning to see more of outside the Japanese market: the P-150 is available in three colors: Red, Blue, and Silver.
