There's certainly more to the Sony DSC-P200 than meets the eye. You can use USB2.0 to connect directly to a PictBridge printer or hook up to a PC and use the bundled software for even more creativity with your pictures. A Sony Memory Stick is provided to store your images - simply remove and slot the Memory Stick into any supported device such as VAIO computers for even more playback options. Not only that, but the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200 is also capable of recording full screen high-quality MPEG movies for viewing on a TV.

For even greater extensibility, the Cyber-shot DSC-P200 supports an optional powered cradle, the Cyber-shot station. With this you can connect to a PC, printer or AV device, using a remote control to view your images on TV, while the camera battery charges up in the dock

All in all 10/10

Welcome to Ciao. Must agree with all comments below.

Hi and welcome to Ciao! I have to agree with Kevin as to get a better rating you will need to add more personal opinions about the camera as specifications are easy to get. If you take a look at other reviews which have got better scores you will see what is needed. If you revise this review please let me know via my guestbook and I will re-rate you. Sue x

A lot of technical specification but very little in the way of personal experience. How was the camera to use? Were there any problems? That sort of thing. Kevin
