User Review for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200

« See all reviews

Great camera!!!

Mar 30, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 3.5" touch screen LCD, smile shutter, picture quality, build quality, design
Cons: photo's at high ISO settings are soft and a bit smudged, 10min video clip w/ sound limit
Opinion:
I just bought this yesterday and even the store agreed with the reviews I researched on the web that T300 has bad picture quality having soft images and with annoying noise. It's weird that cnet-asia gave the T300 higher marks than T200 when cnet.com gave the T200 higher marks than the T300 and even went as far as saying to buy T100 or T200 instead of T300 because of it's poor picture quality.

My sony cyber-shot T200 is great! lots of fun to use, fast and is worth it! I would recommend this to everyone! If you are wondering the smile shutter really works even if you smile without showing your teeth as other sites say. I think you just need to smile fast so the face detection can notice the sudden change in facial expression.

It's limitations are acceptable cause if you use flash in night shots or adjust your scene mode manually pictures are crisp and detailed. And the 10min clip limit is okay cause it's a digital camera! If you want video then buy a digital video camera.

It really is almost perfect! I am extremely satisfied with my T200.

I forgot to mention that T200 does all what the T300 can do even if it is a slightly earlier model. The only difference is the mega pixel count which is not important if the picture quality gets worse.
