So here we have it then, the first truly compact 7-megapixel digital still camera. With its own in-house developed 1/1.8 CCD, Sony has built on the success of the 5MP P100 to produce a basically similar camera with a higher resolution and a completely new CCD. We were very satisfied with the quality of the images from the older P100, so let’s see if any improvements have been made or if the 7-megapixel CCD is just marketing hype.

Using the camera
Apart from the new, brushed metal strip running across the front of the camera, the slim Sony DSC-P150 shares its good looks with the 5MP DSC-P100, as both models are virtually identical. For more detailed information about camera functions and the like, we would advise you to look at our P100 review again as, generally speaking, the only difference between the two cameras is the all new 7 megapixel CCD.
