Camera Overview — Sony DSC-P150

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 7MP, 1/1.8-inch sensor powered by Sony's Real Imaging Processor. It delivers a maximum still resolution of 3072x2304 pixels, giving photographers a solid output for everyday shooting. The camera's body is constructed from aluminum and measures 108 x 52 x 26 mm at a weight of 183g, making it genuinely pocketable without feeling flimsy.

The 1.8-inch TFT LCD display with 134,000 dots provides a workable rear screen for composing shots, while an optical viewfinder offers an alternative framing option. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 5 focus points. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 400, covering standard indoor and outdoor conditions.

The built-in flash supports Auto, Forced, Slow Synchro, No Flash, and Red-eye Reduction modes, adding flexibility for low-light situations. Storage relies on Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The InfoLithium NP-FR1 battery is rated for approximately 320 shots per charge, a respectable figure for a compact of this era.

Color profile options include Standard, Sepia, and Black & White for in-camera creative control.
