For those times when 10 megapixels just isn't enough.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 review

 

It's time to hail the latest 12MP marvel. Or perhaps not

Well built ; Decent-quality lens

Disappointing performance ; Difficult to use

If you're going to bring a 12MP compact to the market, it needs to meet expectation. Build quality, metering and the lens are all good, but the image quality lets down this compact. The W200 seems to be more about an exercise in marketing rather than...

Sony DSC-W200

 

Generally good image quality. SteadyShot image stabilizer.Manual mode.Optical viewfinder.Very compact.Sturdily built

Compression often too strong, limiting the use of a 12 megapixel image size.Noise from 400 ISO up.Low-power flash.Impractical menu system

Sony Cyber-shot W200

 

Excellent specifications on paper - is the W200 the one we've been waiting for?

There are some issues with usability, especially over it's minute size, but the quality of shots is not bad at all

Sony Cyber-shot W200

 

A massive 12Mp brain packed into a svelte, stylish body. Duncan Evans discovers how little he has in common with Sony’s hi-res wunderkind.

Massive 12Mp resolution; Staggering burst mode; Up to ISO6400; Face Detection; Optical stabilisation; Very good noise control

ISO3200 like a painting

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200

 

If you buy a Sony W200, allow yourself an hour to read the manual. We didn't bother and a short time after taking it out for a spin we were furiously pressing all of the many buttons to try to delete an image. Why hasn't Sony included that familiar bin...

Sony DSC W200

 

The Sony DSC W200 is a solidly built digital camera with an aluminium body. It is a shade too large to slip into a pocket, but it is one of the few more compact digital cameras with manual exposure controls. It also has 12 megapixels.

Viewfinder - ease of use

Photos could be a touch sharper in places

The Sony DSC W200 is a stylish digital camera. Just on the large size for fitting in a pocket easily it also has some basic manual exposure controls. The 12 megapixels are also likely to prove attractive.

Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200

 

What does Sony love to deliver most – besides overblown speeches about giant enemy crabs? Products that jam multiple components into delightfully, mysteriously small packages....

Optical image stabilization, face detection techniques, and 9-point autofocus system generate handsome snapshots. Buttery smooth 3x (35 to 105-mm film equivalent) optical zoom. Fast shooting: 1.7 seconds from power-on to first shot and 0.6 second...

Outrageous 0 price tag – we’ve found 7-megapixel cameras with similar performance and image quality at almost half the price. 2.5-inch LCD has a grainy quality and mediocre detail
