I decided to buy this camera because it fits nicely in your hand and comes with 12.1 mega pixels. The quality of the pictures are superb and the auto focus is almost immediate. I have only used it twice but I have fallen in love with it already. So far I cannot fault it in any way.
1- A top-quality Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W200 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition -- a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos. 2-By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive. 3- By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.
Sony does it again. Mega Pixel overkill for sure. But It is matched by a brilliant lense and some clever SONY IMAGE stabilization and jiggerypokery that gets the best out of your snaps. If your a more seasoned snapper, It has manual and program modes, and the ISO levels are really good.
As Far as BANG PER BUCK, this camera so far (nearly the 9/2007) is unbeaten. Point and shooters should buy, 4GB memorystick highly recommended. Its stylish, and well made.
this camera is absolute quality and value for money. I have always been a camera person, not particulally professional in any way but love taking pictures. Well this camera is all I'll ever need. It looks fantastic, takes great clear pictures and has loads of features to make your shots even better. So many I haven't even got to use them all yet! I would recommend this camera to anyone. I know someone who paid alot more for the older model of this so just proves that it was worth waiting for!
This superb camera is full of detail and has excellent clarity. A Carl Zeiss lens, excellent battery life, 2 1/2 inch screen and an exceptional metal finish.
If you are looking for a simple yet powerful camera this one is for you !!!!
