Good But Complicated April 17, 2008
This camera takes good pictures and equally as impressive videos but you definitely need to read the instruction book. I usually can figure things out with trial and error but this camera needed more study than usual. overall a very good purchase
Sony DSC-T200 Ultra Compact Camera April 1, 2008
I went to buy a Casio EX-V8 to find a compact camera with decent video and decent pictures that had more than a 3X zoom. Prices dropped a lot on the previously-unaffordable DSC-T200 so I played with it at the store. Ended up buying it.
The touchscreen takes a little getting used to. Where's the record button? How do I switch to photos? Where are the settings? It takes a little mindset change and practice to get up to speed. There is a 'Home' button to let you get at certain functions quickly, it just isn't obvious at first.
Like many compact cameras, the weakness is indoors. Don't use the Auto mode. Set it on Program mode, with a reasonable ISO (400 or less) and shoot that way. The metering and focus setting also have a big effect on your photo, so if you learn how to use those features it helps.
Macros are great, and there are the typical macro mode and the super macro mode to get within 1 centimeter. I have good results with both.
The video is decent, I rate it 7 out of 10. Just straightforward 640x480 resolution with no bull. MPeg format instead of MOV. You really only can change the framerate, but its simple and works well. A 2GB memory stick will hold about 1.5 hours at standard framerate or about 25 minutes at high-quality. The white balance settings have a big effect on video quality indoors. Choose the correct lighting style and the video comes out accurately. By the way, the sound pickup is excellent. Not sterero, but very decent. I've heard some concert video and the sound is not all blown out like it does on many cameras. It picks up surprising sounds in the room like breathing and other nuances.
Focusing is quick. Very bright autofocus assist lamp. Maybe too bright. Easy to change the metering and focusing modes (When in the Program shooting mode).
The flash? Well, its a compact, not a DSLR. Its ok. I have great results with the slow synchro flash - it really lights up the room well.
Full speed USB 2.0 means fast transfers.
28mm wide angle accessory lense available. Two different docking stations are available (actually 3). The CSS-PC1 is for your computer. The CSS-HD1 and new CSS-HD2 are to hook the camera to the TV for hi-def displays. All the docks have faster chargers than the charger that comes with the camera (30% faster).
Outdoor images are great. The 5x zoom is just right - I didn't feel that "not quite close enough" feeling you always have with a 3x camera.
My expectations were to get a camera with decent photos (above average) and decent video that didn't make me have to work too hard, and can be put in my pocket, and this is it. You do have to work this camera a little indoors if you want better than average shots. I have gotten decent no-flash results up to ISO800. ISO1600 and 3200 are not useable.
I would buy this camera again. I love the touchscreen, and whoever thinks its grainy or said they would be ashamed to show someone pictures on this screen are simply wrong. There are better looking screens (very few), but this one is certainly on of the better ones.
Cons:
Big touchscreen does not automatically gain up outdoors. You have to brighten the display manualy (come on, Sony) but at least you can brighten the display.
No viewfinder. Would be nice in a few cases.
Its expensive. Proprietary memory sticks. Battery life sucks. Get the docking station because it charges the battery 30% quicker than provided charger. Learn to not put your finger over the lense.
Could use a bunch more scene modes. The 10 or so provided are pretty basic. They should have one for indoor shooting, and one for doubleshot (flash/no flash) like Fuji has.
The camera cables are special (not standard USB), but if you use the dock its not a big deal.
Great Camera few misses here and there March 27, 2008
Not bad overall. The camera is very sleek and physically its very easy on the eyes, especially with the 3.5 inch screen. A few things, you can't just use any stylus it won't work well at all. The battery life is very short that's very unfortunate also another thing if you do want the battery to last just a little bit longer, make sure the lcd is not on bright. The picture quality isn't too bad, but there are so many different settings that it's very easy to get confused. The smile shutter is really cool! I tell my friends about it and they never believe me, its so awesome!
