Intro
My friend recently purchased a DSC-P5 to replace his DSC-P1 and I've had the opportunity to use both on quite a few occasions. I liked the DSC-P1 when he first got it last year and I was tempted to buy one, but the price ($799) kept me...

Pros: Small size, ease of use, quality of photos with bright light
