CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.4

View score

The good: Great design; nice, large 3.5-inch screen; touchscreen.

The bad: Iffy accuracy for Smile Shutter; no custom white balance; slight noise even at ISO 400.

The bottom line: It's a perfect camera for someone who prizes style and gimmicky features over performance and control.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Big screen, sharp pictures, great super macro shots. eyecatching design, switches between 16:9 n 4:3 frame
Cons: battery life..............
Opinion:

I bought this cam in HK in Dec 2007. Before I bought this while doing research on digi cams when my eyes fell on this. Honestly it was love at first sight reason ? It's screen. I just couldn't take my eyes off it.I had to buy it. When in HK I did and boy it justifies my buy not only in looks department but technically too. Trust me this is a gem. it's takes great pictures. period. Due to touch screen it becomes more easier to navigate when taking macro shots where you require steady hand n concentration.
Take a look at my macro shots to believe this cam's quality.

There are no negatives but battery life could improve,for a guy like me 250 shots on single charge is very less. But then again I guess the big screen takes the juice out.

 

Great camera!!!

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 ... Read more
