Please help ,Which one to buy sony p150 or p200

[rad1970]

Hello everyone ,
My 1st post here
I have the Dimage z1 ( 3.2mp) but I'm not fully satisfied about it's image quality
I want a camera that can shoot great photos for eBay listing so I decided to go for Sony
I want to buy either Sony P150 or P200
I found a good review for P150
http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_p150-review/index.shtml
I Like the macro , and the red eye test
But unfortunately Jeff Keller has no review for the p200
I need an opinion from someone who tried both of them ( specially for the red eye test and macro test )
Please note that the price of the p150 is about $100 more than the P200 despite the P200 is newer and both of them have 7.2 MP which make me very confused .
Is there something bad about the p200 that I don't know or something special about the P150
Thank you

1st, welcome aboard ! 2nd, dpreview.com has a very positive review of the P200. And I personally have owned BOTH cameras and I would definitely recommend you buy a BRAND NEW P200 than pay $100 more for a Used P150! IMHO, the P150 gave "slightly" more detailed images but speed-wise, design-wise, etc. the P200 improved upon an already great camera. Also, I have had my share of cameras, and if eBay is your thing, one of the "best" macro cameras is the Canon 3200 which you can buy on eBay for less than $75...just a tip.

kimnicho, Thank you for your reply
For me it's quality-wise .
I think I can buy new p150 from eBay around $340 .
I have found another member here complaining about his p200 which worried me

I think you meant the Canon A300 ( as I couldn't find 3200) , and yes I agree , it has very good macro too

And it's very cheap ,but 4 MP is low
Thank you for the tip :)
I welcome any input from you and others

You can get the P200 for $200 at circuit city.
