Only pocket digital you'll need   07/20/2008
By agemini15 from Naperville, IL

Pros: Camera size, LCD size, picture quality

"This camera works well in all conditions and produces high quality pictures. It's small and light enough to carry in my pocket.
I also like the telephoto lens not extending outside the body.
One only needs to be careful when holding the camera --- the first few pics I took wound up having part of my left hand's fingers in the shot because of the location of the lens."

A good camera when an SLR is not needed   05/28/2008
By Curiousdork from Chicago, IL

Pros: Light weight, fits in pocket, large LCD screen, good image quality, flash is pretty good, easy to use
Cons: At full 8.1MP, the image looks kind of grainy

"I'm not a big fan of point-and-shoots until I visited my friends in Europe and found that my SLR was just bulky and cumbersome. I came home needing a camera that I can take with me inside my pocket and will do the job of an SLR camera. So I looked into point-and-shoots.

This camera won me with its cool-factor and large LCD screen. The image quality was pretty good as well. I played around with the camera and found it easy to use (so easy, in fact that I never bothered reading the manual). The images were pretty good but shooting at full 8.1MP had some drawbacks (the images looked grainy, I'm guessing the onboard computer shoots at a higher ISO to compensate for as many situations as possible).

However, the images looked good and the 5x zoom is a cool feature. The images are sharp, the colors look good (skin tone can look to pinkish). There's even a built-in red-eye remover (though it does dupe the image without the red-eye). What makes this a good buy is that its size, weight and usability are a perfect combination. Get a large memory card and you can go a long time without needing to dump pictures to a DVD or a hard drive. This makes a great point-and-shoot for the casual photographer. It has all the standard-faire effects but the usability is its ultimate winner. The touchscreen and large LCD will win you when you start viewing images on the camera. Oh, and you can shoot video at 640x480, I think that's pretty awesome."

Good, not great camera.   05/02/2008
By ganapatiii from New York, NY

Pros: HUGE screen, compact, light weight, okay pictures, great value
Cons: okay pictures, touch screen functions not as easy as it could be

"The obvious big attraction to this camera is the size of the screen AND its touch-screen functionality. I went out and bought it as soon as I heard there was a completely touch screen sony camera.
The positives are that it does the job: great camera for its price. Takes decent pictures and stows away pretty much anywhere. Battery life is also really good.
Negatives are that the touch screen was a bit of a let down. After playing around with the iphone and ipod touch, I was expecting a cool sony interface but was disappointed. the menu and functions are a bit pixely and outdated. The camera itself takes OKAY pictures. It is what one would expect of a small compact camera."

Best camera I've ever owned   05/01/2008
By Jessika from NJ

Pros: Great features
Cons: Touch screen doesn't include a stylus.

"I absolutely love this camera. Great pictures, great features. Great for camera for someone looking to take a picture w/o having to read a manual the size of a textbook. I went to a concert and didn't have the best seats...but I did get the best pictures. The LCD screen on the back is beautiful. My only issue with this camera is that the LCD screen is a touch screen but it didn't include a stylus. I ended up buying one seperately for about 30.00 dollars."

BEST CAMERA!!   04/28/2008
By Marco27 from VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: CAN'T THINK OF ANY

"I HAD MY EYE ON THIS CAMERA FOR MONTHS BEFORE I HAD TO BUY IT MYSELF (WANTED PARENTS TO BUY IT FOR ME)... I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA BACK IN OCTOBER OF '07, A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE MY MOM'S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY (I WANTED IT THE WEEKEND BEFORE B/C WE DID THE RELAY FOR LIFE, CANCER WALK) AND IT WAS GREAT, I TOOK SO MANY PICURES. I TAKE IT WITH ME JUST ABOUT EVERYTIME I'M OUT.. NEVER KNOW WHAT U MIGHT SEE. I'VE TAKEN IT WITH ME TO TWO CONCERTS SO FAR, ANOTHER ONE NEXT WEEK, @ FIRST I WASN'T EXPECTING THE BEST OUT OF THE CAMCORDER CAPABILITY (THOUGHT IMAGE WOULD BE POOR AND SOUND WOULD BE STATICKY B/C ITS SMALL SIZE), BUT WHEN I PLUGGED IT UP TO REPLAY IT ON THE TV, IMAGE AND SOUND.. GREAT!! I'V GOTTEN SOOO MANY COMPLEMENTS, ON HOW NICE IT IS. I'VE EVEN PARTED WITH IT TO LET MY SISTER USE IT WHEN SHE HAD WENT UP NORTH FOR A CONFRENCE WITH CO-WORKERS (THEY COMPLEMENTED HER ON IT TOO) AND EVEN WITH MY PARENTS WHEN THEY WENT TO MEXICO.. ITS SO EASY TO USE, MY MOM WAS ABLE TO USE IT (SHE'S NOT THE BEST WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY).. BUT ALL IN ALL I WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMEND THIS CAMERA.. IT MAY SEEM A BIT PRICEY BUT ITS WELL WORTH IT, THE QUALITY AND FUN YOU'LL HAVE WITH IT.. PRICLESS. I JUST RECENTLY ORDERED MYSELF A THINNER CAMERA CASE WICH EVERYTHINGS COMING WITH IT ( A REGULAR TRI-POD, MINI FLEXIBLE TRI-PODM, LENS CLEANER KIT, SCREEN PROTECTOR, MEMORY CARD HOLDER, AND EXTRA BATTERY) AND ALSO A 4GB MEMORY CARD SO I CAN FILM WITH THE FINE SETTING ON... GOING ON AND ON.. BUT YEA GET ONE!"

Excellent Quality Camera   04/27/2008
By mlight from Upstate NY

Pros: Takes Great Photos, Compact Size, High Optical Zoom
Cons: None

"The capabilities of this camera are great - the pictures are crisp and the high mp make blowing up photos a breeze. We love how portable it is...fits into a pocket for skiing and hiking. The optical zoom makes bringing the subject into view so much easier. Not having a moving lens going in and out is a HUGE bonus!

We would buy another just like it in an instant and highly recommend it to our friends."

Very Good Purchase   04/22/2008
By Rolaids from Chicago

Pros: Size, screen size and quality
Cons: Price if not on sale

"The size and the screen size are very good. The quality of the pictures (8MP) is more then enough for the average person. One thing that gets annoying is when im reviewing pictures if i push the shlider down just a bit it goes from reviewing pictures to taking them but beside that it is a good purchase!"

Nice Little Camera   04/21/2008
By ashwats from Springfield,OH

Pros: Physical Size, Megapixels, Screen Size, Optical Zoom, Optical Image Stabilization
Cons: No viewfinder

"PROS:
This camera was turned out to be a pretty good purchase. If you're looking for a nice small, pocket size camera that's very portable, LOOK NO FURTHER! The camera itself fits easily into my pocket so I take it with me everywhere. One of the best attributes of this camera is the screen size...3.5"! The entire back of the camera is the screen which makes it extremely easy for even an 80 yr. old to see. Plus, it's touch screen so it's a lot easier to find the settings that you want. With the camera being 8 megapixels, the prints look great especially with really big prints and/or doing a ton of cropping. It's also able to connect to a television via HD so the quality of the pictures looks even better. I've been able to use this camera @ concerts and the pictures have come out beautifully and with the 5x optical zoom, I can really get close.
CONS:
One of the cons is the fact that the camera doesn't have a viewfinder. Normally this bothers me and it probably will now that it is going to be sunnier outside, but for now it's not really that bad because the LCD is so huge. A viewfinder would just be nice for the really sunny days because glare drives me crazy sometimes.
The only other con I have is that sometimes the color is a bit off on some of my portrait type pictures. I have to play around with the flash a bit because my pictures sometimes come out with a yellowish tint and/or the eyes are really red. I haven't had the camera for 2 months yet, so I'm still getting used to all the settings.
Other than those 2 things, the camera overall is great! At the price that I got it, it was a great deal and has turned out to be a really fun new toy!
If you're looking for a small camera, I would definitely recommend the T200."

Easy to use quick shoot   04/21/2008
By TROYnGlendora from west covina, ca

Pros: This camera loads very quick. The battery seems to last quite a while. I have not discovered all the features yet but th
Cons: Some features aren't as easy to find as you would hope.

"Excellent Camera overall. The stylus doesn't really have a place and you want to use it so there are not finger prints on your screen. Other than that I don't really have any complaints. It was a good price because I got it after someone returned it."
