Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200B

Image source: Sony

Those looking for a compact digital camera should seriously consider Sony’s new model Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200B. If I were to get a new digital camera, this will be my first choice due to its functions, performance and portability. Being so slim, you can slide it right into your pocket and it will not take up more space than your handphone or wallet. Compared to others, this camera is a fast performer that shoots photos fast. As an 8 megapixel digital camera, it is capable of taking images of high quality and resolution.

The difference with its predecessor, Cyber-shot DSC T100 is that it features a touch screen on a 3.5” LCD, and I believe it makes navigation among camera controls easier, more convenient and cooler.

A special feature with this camera is that it comes with a function called “Smile Shutter”. Whenever it detects smiling in its view, it snaps a photo. I think this is an interesting and useful feature as it makes the camera more automated.

The shortcoming of this camera is that its image quality does not live up to its predecessor as the images look softer, however it does produce excellent images.

Interested parties may want to visit http://www.sony.com.sg/microsite/cybershot/products/t200/3dflash.html for a detailed review of the functionalities of the phone including overviews of its main features as well as its technical specifications. It is very informative and I believe will convince you that the camera is indeed a great choice.

Price: $659 by Sony (Comes with free gifts)

Hey there..I agree with you that this camera is a great buy.. By just the looks of t it's so tempting! look at just how slim it is However I think there is always a downfall like as you mentioned it's image quality is bad? I do think that with these cams it's also not that hardy. A slight slip off your hands and 600++ will just slip away..but I just look admiring it, how technology has evolved so much from what used to be chunky and heavy to what it is today.. slim and sleek to fit anywhere. How I wish their Cybershot phones were of that great specification.

"The shortcoming of this camera is that its image quality does not live up to its predecessor as the images look softer, however it does produce excellent images." Could you please clarify if you think it takes great shots?

Yes, this camera certainly takes excellent photos better than most cameras out there of the same range!

It is only because its predecessor has such flawless image performance, people would have expected even higher quality for its successor.

This model has some slight flaws but are considered minor and does not affect image quality much, overall.

It should also be noted that this model also uses the same sensor, same lens and same image processor as the T100 (predecessor).
