I've had my DSC-P1 for about 3 years now. It was one of the best small cameras on the market when I bought it and it still stands up to many that are out there now if you know how to get the best out of it. It certainly does have it's short-comings too th ...

Pros: Looks, Functions, Battery
Cons: Price, Optional Bag

...
